Lust of the Week: Longchamp Planetes Tonal Tote


We've all heard of the classic Le Pliage by Longchamp. The Le Pliage is famous for its ability to fold into a teeny rectangle, its durability, practicality, and classic style. It's also quite affordable too, being under $200 for a very roomy size. However, the Le Pliage is not everything that Longchamp has to offer. Enter in the Planetes Tonal tote. This baby has all the same qualities of a Le Pliage, but comes in a size that flatters smaller sized sirens much better than the Le Pliage, as evidenced by a very thorough review on Petite Asian Girl. According to her review, the Planetes also holds its crisp trapezoidal shape better then its more famous sibling, and has a PVC coated nylon exterior! I'm sold, aren't you?

HI Hun thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment! Those girls are regular girls either still in high school or college :D

on most of fashion mags in Japan there is a section on the back of the mag where you can submit your photo to them so you can enter to be their model and most of them got into that mag by submitting their photos and going on audition but they have age limit tho :/

have a nice New years!! <3

I love the Le Pliage totes. I used to have one of the classic ones (in dark blue-gray) but it was stolen on campus this past semester. I was devastated since I'd bought it while I was studying abroad in London (where the entire Le Pliage line seems to be cheaper than here even when the exchange rate is not supremely favorable!).

I had no idea that the Planetes totes held their shape better until now. Learn something new everyday, I guess!
