My MANy Bags News #383

Below: For a limited time only, Longchamp is bringing their Le Pliage Sur Mesure service to Singapore... Hurry down to their Pop-Up store at Paragon Shopping Mall to create your very own customised and colourful Le Pliage bags! I had lots of fun creating my very own... highly recommended for everyone to get creative for your unique Le Pliage Bag:-)
Below: The Longchamp Pop-Up store space may be temporary, but it is never lacking in offering the lastest Spring Summer 2013 collections, colours and even Jeremy Scott's collaboration designs...

Longchamp Pop-Up Store And Le Pliage Sur Mesure Service

This Friday, I had the pleasure visiting Longchamp’s Pop-Up store at Paragon Shopping Mall in Singapore. Set up as a temporary retail space before a brand new boutique (Level 2) gets revamped in the coming weeks, the Pop-Up store is never lacking in its selection of exciting Longchamp Spring Summer 2013 bags. From new colours for their highly popular Le Pliage bags to SS2013’s new designs and Jeremy Scott’s latest collaboration, it’s a must visit if you are in Orchard Road:-)

To add to the motivtion, the pop-up store is also offering a limited run of Longchamp Sur Mesure service allowing you an opportunity to create your very own customised Le Pliage bags. You may have tried out the service on Longchamp’s website (and selected stores around the world), but to do it in person right here in Singapore is a totally refreshing experience.

I had heaps of fun creating my very own Le Pliage bag, deciding on the bag model, handle length, base and highlight colours, hardware, and even down to the iniitals on the bag. So many details to ensure a truly original bag that you can proudly call your own:-P

In the end, I decided i want a travel size Le Pliage Bag with a brightly coloured but timeless combination... So I chose a cheerful indigo blue with a highlight of taupe and bling it up with gold hardware before personalising with my own initials. This is what I will be expecting in 8 weeks time:-P (see below) Like it? Try out the service yourself. Get creative with wild and crazy colours or classic and smart hues... there is always a combination for everyone. While you are at it, don’t forget to customised matching coin pouches or handy clutch bags too, both of which are super functional cute.

Below: My very own customised travel size Le Pliage bag bearing my initials! Can't wait to receive it in 8 weeks time (or less)... Try it for yourself... so fun to put your creative juices at work:-)
Besides the nylon Le Pliage bags, do you know Longchamp also offers a more luxurious personalisation service with their Le Cabas Sur Mesure whereby you can create your very own Longchamp leather totes. This service allows you to customised your very own leather bag with options of 10 leather colours and 10 linings to suit any taste. As an option, perforate your initials onto the side of the bag to make your tote bag uniquely yours. I love the proportion of largest size... very smart as a daily work companion for the boys.

Below: Longchamp also offers customisation on leather bags... ask for the Le Cabas Sur Mesure if you are looking for leather totes created to your colour liking and bearing your initials:-) Love the size of the customised Kudu tote which looks proportionately right for the boys... A handy companion for work and play:-)
Both Sur Mesure services will be available exclusively at the Longchamp Pop-Up store at Paragon Atrium 2 from 25 March to 25 May 2013. Now Go!

The Material Boy #517


Below: Longchamp's highly successful Le Pliage bags now comes in soft metis leather for Spring Summer 2012! I love the colours and the functionality of these useful bags...

Below: The shoulder strap makes these travel bags a good day bag outside of your travelling needs... I would love to have the one in dark brown or navy!
Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir Collection

With more than 13 million sold, Longchamp's highly successful Le Pliage bags have now become synonymous with chic and functional travel styles. You can literally spot Longchamp Le Pliage bags in every incarnation at airports everywhere! I love the light weight and durable constructions with a wide array of colours and sizes to suit every tastes, be it, man or woman.

For Spring Summer 2012, Longchamp will launch a new range of Le Pliage bags, but this time in the softest and supplest metis leather (a cross between a goat and lamb and highly compact and foldable) that is a match for their nylon counterparts and more! Welcome the Le Pliage Cuir collection. More luxurious, more exciting colours but the same level of light weight and sturdy design for your needs on the road. Thoughtful shoulder strap for some designs makes this the perfect day bag while you are travelling but without the bulk! I want one:-) One in every shade from brown to beige to red or blue!

The Le Pliage Cuir collection will come in 5 formats, including a travel bag, 2 totes, a shopper and a pouch. Enquire at the Longchamp store in Ion Orchard Singapore (or a store near you) if you want these bags as much as me:-P

(Having seen and touched these in person at my recent press visit at Longchamp, I can attest to the weight and compactness of these Le Pliage cuir bags. Love it, although pricing comes a little more expensive as they are full leather bags:-P Check out pics of my press day visit here on my facebook fanpage. More pics of the collection here as well.)

To help you get a better sense of the pricing, USD prices
are as follows:
1) Pouch (size: 28 x 17 x 10cm) – USD255

2) Tote (size: 31 x 30 x 19cm) – USD525
3) Handbag (size: 25 x 23 x 16cm) – USD490

5)
Travel bag (size: 45 x 35 x 23cm) – USD775

My MANy Bags News #360


Below: Longchamp collaborated with rising fashion star, Mary Katrantzou, for a range of bags for Spring Summer 2012... Are you already a fan of those eclectic, surreal prints?


Below: Based on a theme of East meets West, the prints features a unique and interesting mix of references... from Asian temples and flower parades, through dragons and lanterns, to the architecture of Carnegie Hall

Mary Katrantzou For Longchamp Spring Summer 2012

Good news for all Longchamp fans. If you have always been loving Longchamp's exceptionally light weight and functional travel bags (Le Pilage) or Jeremy Scott creations... get ready to add a whole new series of designer collaboration designs to your collection. For Spring Summer 2012, Longchamp worked with fashion's hottest new name, Mary Katrantzou, the Greek-born, London based designer famous for her surreal prints and lantern shaped dresses.

Mary now brings her unique creative vision to Longchamp with two special-edition tote bags and an exclusive print for the legendary Le Pliage line.

For the two totes, Mary Katrantzou created her own inspired and individual interpretation of the theme “When East meets West”, drawing on an extraordinary array of references, from Asian temples and flower parades, through dragons and lanterns, to the architecture of Carnegie Hall. Brown calfskin handles and brushed gold hardware complement the beauty of the prints and echo the bags’ trompe-l’oeil detailing.

For Le Pliage line of bags, Mary Katrantzou created a poetic print of orchids and lanterns
floating like balloons against a backdrop of blue sky.

"What I love about Le Pliage," says Mary, "beyond the fact that it is so simple and so practical, is that it provides the perfect canvas for a print designer." These new bags by the designer are simply a work of art worthy to be collected.
All these bags will feature a leather label embossed with the signature "Mary Katrantzou for Longchamp".

The Mary Katrantzou collection will be available in Singapore Longchamp stores in March 2012.

Longchamp Holiday 2009 Le Pliage Bag

It's the season of giving and many brands are leveraging on this lucrative retail time to get into the consumer's wallets. As does every year, luxury brands offers limited edition gift pieces to entice the savvy shopper. For this X'mas, Longchamp has come up with an ultra cute Le Pliage bag inspired by the Scottish Kilt:-) that is going to get you surrendering your Visa cards. Just check out how quaint and adorable the bag is:-P

Fringe edging on red or white tartan fabrics are wrapped (or worn??!) around the bag, with a leather strap buckle on the side to emulate how you would have worn a real kilt. So cool eh? And to keep the front flap from doing a 'peekaboo', a cute safety pin to hold everything together?:-P Nah, it's more for decorative purposes than modesty reasons. There is also a cute little leather tassle zipper charm to add to the fun. Dimensions of the bag are W21xH21xD14cm. Perfect size for any ladies:-)

Very apt for winter X'mas house visits, with a bit of Scottish tradition to spice up the holidays. Wonder if these cute babies will make it to Singapore stores... Retails for approx. SGD 625.

Below: The new Jeremy Scott + Longchamp collection for Fall Winter 2009/2010



Below: Previous collaboration with Jeremy Scott...


Jeremy Scott For Longchamp Fall Winter 2009/2010

Longchamp has collaborated with Jeremy Scott previously, most notably the credit card print yellow Pilage bag. For fall winter 2009/2010, the designer's creative input is again being tapped by Longchamp to create a new series of bags. This time, military medals adorned the signature Pilage bags in 2 sizes with the Colonel series, while similar medal motif in the Sergeant style appearing on a tote and clutch. Not sure how appealing these will be. But Longchamp fans will have a reason to visit the store next season:-)
