Lately, my email was swamped with requests for Longchamp Les Planètes feature. Since I don't own any Longchamp shopping bag, I did the next best thing, I borrowed one from my good friend who purchased her tote bag last January 2012 in Sogo Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong for HK$ 990.
Longchamp | Les Planètes
 |
| Longchamp Planetes Shopping Tote with Long Handle in black HK$ 990 ($155) |
In the photo above, you will notice that Longchamps' long handles easily fall on the sides of the bag. Another distinction, Les Planètes tote handbags cannot be folded unlike the Les Pliages.
With more than a passing resemblance to Pliage®, the Planètes line is
distinguished by its structured form, thick fabric trimmed with
full-grain cowhide and its satiny feel. Handbag, tote or hobo bag...
choose it this season in its new ebony color -SOURCE
Dimensions:
- 10x10x5½ inch (25x25x14 cm)
Description:
- 1 main compartment with zipper opening
- interior: One flat pocket on front
Tip: To remove any stains, simply brush softly.
Care: To maintain your product, apply with a soft brush Longchamp colorless cream regularly to leather areas.
