FAQs

How do I clean my Longchamp Le Pliage bag?

For the polyamide canvas body, use a soft brush and water to gently clean. For the Russian Leather trim, use the included Longchamp colorless cream applied with a soft cloth. Always allow to air dry.

Is this bag waterproof?

The durable nylon canvas offers protection against daily wear and light splashes, but the bag is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging it in water.

Can this bag fit a laptop?

The bag's dimensions are 26.5 cm (H) x 28 cm (L) x 15.5 cm (W). A small laptop or most tablets may fit, but it's crucial to measure your specific device to ensure compatibility before purchase.

How do I fold the bag for storage?

Unzip the main compartment and flatten the bag. Fold the sides inward towards the center. Then, fold the bottom of the bag upwards towards the top flap, and secure it with the snap button on the leather flap.

What is 'Russian Leather'?

Russian Leather, as used here, refers to a specific type of treated cowhide. It's known for its strength, durability, and often a distinctive grain, contributing to the bag's premium aesthetic and longevity.

What is the weight of the Le Pliage Medium Tote Bag?

This bag weighs 220 grams, making it exceptionally lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.

Are the handles comfortable for shoulder carrying?

Yes, with a handle height of 21 cm (8.3 inches), the bag is designed to be comfortably carried on the shoulder, even over heavier clothing.

Troubleshooting

My bag appears creased after being folded.

Creases are a natural result of the bag's fold-flat design. To reduce them, simply unfold the bag and allow it to hang for a while, or gently stuff it with soft items like scarves for a short period to help it regain its shape.

The leather trim looks dry or dull.

Apply the Longchamp colorless cream (included with your bag) to the leather trim using a soft, clean cloth. Gently rub the cream into the leather, then buff it lightly. This will help moisturize and restore the luster of the cowhide.

The canvas body has a minor stain.

For light stains on the polyamide canvas, use a soft brush and a small amount of water to gently scrub the affected area. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive materials.

The zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Occasionally, zippers can become stiff. Rub a small amount of zipper lubricant (like paraffin wax or a specialized zipper wax, not oil) along the teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Longchamp Le Pliage Medium Tote Bag arrives ready to use. Simply unclip the snap button, unzip the main compartment, and unfold the bag to its full size. No assembly is required.

Compatibility

  • Wear: The handles are designed with an `8.3 inch (21 cm)` height, allowing the bag to be comfortably carried on the shoulder. Its lightweight nature ensures ease of wear throughout the day.
  • Contents: The spacious interior (26.5 x 28 x 15.5 cm) accommodates various items. While it can hold work documents, measure your specific laptop or tablet to ensure a proper fit. It's generally compatible with paperback books, water bottles, and typical daily essentials.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Le Pliage bag. Treat it with care to maintain its quality.

  • Polyamide Canvas Body: For optimal upkeep, clean the polyamide canvas with a soft brush and water. Gently scrub any soiled areas, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Russian Leather Trim (Cowhide): The leather accents require specific attention. Your bag includes a Longchamp colorless cream for leather maintenance. Apply a small amount of this cream to the leather trim periodically with a soft, clean cloth, then buff gently. This helps to nourish the leather and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid excessive moisture on the leather.
  • Storage: When not in use, you can fold the bag for compact storage. Ensure the bag is clean and dry before folding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid Overfilling: While spacious, consistently overfilling the bag can stress the materials and stitching, potentially affecting its shape and durability over time.
