FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Longchamp Le Pliage Large Tote Bag?

When unfolded, the bag measures approximately 30 x 31 x 19 cm (11.8 x 12.2 x 7.5 inches). The handle height is 25 cm (9.8 inches), allowing for comfortable shoulder carry.

Is this bag waterproof?

The recycled polyamide canvas material has an inside coating and is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand light rain and spills. However, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy moisture should be avoided.

How do I clean the leather parts of the bag?

The cowhide leather trim and handles should be cleaned with a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply sparingly with a soft, clean cloth and buff gently. Do not use water or harsh chemicals on the leather.

Can I fit my laptop in this tote bag?

Yes, the generous interior space is designed to easily accommodate most standard laptops, along with documents and other daily essentials. Always use a protective sleeve for your laptop.

Does the bag have any internal pockets for organization?

The Longchamp Le Pliage Large Tote Bag features one internal flat pocket. The main compartment is largely open to maximize its versatile storage capacity.

What is the material of the bag?

The main material is recycled polyamide canvas with an inside coating, trimmed with cowhide leather for the handles and flap closure.

What does the racing horse emblem signify?

The iconic racing horse emblem is a signature Longchamp detail that celebrates the brand's rich heritage, which dates back to 1948, and its commitment to timeless French design and craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty folding the bag flat to its compact size.

Ensure the bag is completely empty before attempting to fold. Lay it flat and gently press out any trapped air. Align the sides precisely with the main body and follow the natural creases. The first few folds may feel stiff, but the material will become more pliable with use.

Zipper snags or feels stiff when opening/closing.

Check if any fabric or lining is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax crayon or a specialized zipper wax) to the teeth, then gently work the zipper back and forth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Creases appear on the canvas after unfolding from storage.

Light creases are a natural characteristic of the Le Pliage's foldable design. To help them relax, simply fill the bag with your belongings and allow it to hang for a short period. The canvas will typically smooth out with use. Avoid attempting to iron the bag directly, especially near the leather.

  1. Ensure the bag is completely empty.
  2. Lay it flat on a surface.
  3. Fold the sides inward, aligning them with the main body.
  4. Fold the bottom upwards.
  5. Finally, fold the top flap over and secure it with the snap button.

Its versatile style is suitable for professional settings, casual outings, travel, and shopping.

Care

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Longchamp Le Pliage Large Tote Bag:

  • Canvas (Recycled Polyamide): Clean the recycled polyamide canvas with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of neutral soap. Gently wipe the surface and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously.
  • Leather Trim (Cowhide): For the cowhide leather handles and flap, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner designed for natural leather. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently. Avoid getting the leather excessively wet.
  • General Care: Do not machine wash or tumble dry the bag. Air dry completely if it gets wet. When not in use, fold the bag as intended and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and creasing.
