Longchamp bags are controversial in that you either really love them or really hate them. Chances are if you bring them up in conversation, everyone will not only know exactly what you're talking about, but also have a visceral response.
When starter packs got memed, Longchamp bags were prevalent in many of them. People associate personality with these nylon tote bags so much that the bags took on a life of their own. If you're from a certain era, to own one meant being a college campus stereotype. But at the same time, the Longchamp Le Pilage tote is popular and beloved by royalty like Kate Middleton (and ex-royalty like Meghan Markle) because it's so practical. And if you think it's dated, just look at Jennifer Lopez, who has been spotted carrying the mini Le Pilage bag.
The classic bag fits a large amount of stuff, is made of nylon so that it's easy to clean, and is subtle enough to not distract from an outfit. It's also considerably affordable at just $140, but thanks to a secret sale at Rue La La, they're now just $110.
