Longchamp Planètes Shopper: Bag Review

We have all tried, tested and fallen in love with the best-selling Longchamp Le Pliage bag that has been more than useful over the last couple of years. Now, new to the market, is this classier and more feminine addition to the Longchamp family, the Planètes shopper, the Le Pliage’s older and more sophisticated sister.  Constructed from a hardwearing coated canvas, the large tote is finished with tone on tone leather trim and double handles. Although this bag is still technically a ‘shopper’ it doubles up as handbag. With it’s sleeker and more chic look you can carry this bag from day to night without it looking like you are carrying your gym bag.

Handbag Experience 

As we said, this bag is a stylish shopper but looks great as an everyday handbag. Strong and comfortable to carry, the bag can be filled with all your everyday essentials and will still look fab. Lightweight it can be packed and taken anywhere. It is also available in two sizes, large and small. So, you can opt for whichever size best fits your needs.

When and Where is it Perfect for?

There is no set answer to where and when this bag is perfect for as it is so versatile that it can be used for almost anything. The office, the gym, travelling, shopping, the list is endless. The larger size will easily fit your gym kit or your laptop and this stylish bag from our favourite Parisian brand, wouldn’t look out of place in either locations. Big Bag Lovers, Boardroom Perfectionists, Miss Practicals, Confident Classiques and Chic Yummy Mummies will all adore this handbag. Whether you want to use it as an additional bag to carry around those extra bits and bobs or as your main handbag on a day-to-day basis, the Longchamp Planètes shopper will not let you down.

Interior 

The handbag comprises a very spacious interior and has an internal zip pocket ideal for cards, keys and phone. Simples.

Material 

Distinguished by its structured form, thick fabric trim with full-grain cowhide and its satiny feel, the Longchamp Planètes shopper is made from the perfect material for an every day bag but still oozes luxury. Super easy to care for, to remove any stains, simply brush softly, no need for regimented maintenance routines!

Best Colour to Pick 

Available in black or brown both colours are practical, versatile and professional. However, for a sleeker and glossier effect, the black is definitely best. If you want your new handbag as an office companion then black is the colour to go for.

BagServant’s Thoughts 

Longchamp have done it again. With their Le Pliage bag quickly becoming the most spotted bag around the city last year, we think that the Planètes bag will quickly follow in its footsteps. Spacious, practical but with a new stylish edge, we can not fault this bag! The larger size is reasonably priced at £89 and the smaller is £79, what a great investment.
