If you’ve been following my handbag adventures, you already know I’ve been a longtime fan of the Longchamp Le Pliage line, especially the large size. That one? Absolutely perfect for travel days, work commutes, or when I just need to throw everything in and go. It’s spacious, folds up beautifully, and has saved me more than once during airport chaos.
But recently, I decided to explore the small size, and let me tell you, it was love at first zip.
I picked one up in the most stunning green shade (a subtle pop of color that somehow works with everything), and before I could even start styling it for the week, I already placed an order for another one—this time in a neutral tone. Let’s just say it’s going to be perfect for fall.
The Perfect Size for Daily Life
Here’s the thing: the small Le Pliage is just right. It fits my daily essentials—phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, sunglasses, hand cream, and even a mini water bottle without ever feeling bulky. It’s lightweight, polished, and easy to carry whether you’re running errands, grabbing coffee, or heading out for a casual dinner.
Unlike the large one (which I adore but don’t always want to carry on a casual day), the small size has become my go-to. It’s compact but not cramped, and structured enough to hold its shape without feeling stiff.
Waterproof, Wipeable, and Worry-Free
Let’s talk practicality. This bag is waterproof, lightweight, and a breeze to clean. One quick wipe with a damp cloth and it’s basically brand new again. Honestly, it’s one of the lowest-maintenance bags I own—and that’s saying something.
It can handle surprise rain, messy toddlers, or that inevitable lipstick smudge without skipping a beat. No babying needed, and no panic if someone bumps into you with a latte.

Color Options? Too Many (in the best way)
This might be the most dangerous part: the colors. Longchamp doesn’t hold back with this collection. From classic neutrals to seasonal shades and bold pops of color, the small Le Pliage comes in so many options that it’s impossible to choose just one.
Hence… the second one I already ordered. (Oops?)
With fall around the corner, I went for a timeless neutral tone that I know will pair beautifully with sweaters, boots, and cozy knits. But let’s be honest—I’m probably going to end up with a third. Maybe something bright for spring? The possibilities are endless.
Final Thoughts: The Everyday MVP
To sum it up: the Longchamp Le Pliage Large is my trusted work/travel sidekick. But the Longchamp Le Pliage Small? That’s my everyday hero. Chic, durable, easy to style, and endlessly functional.
It’s the kind of bag that makes you wonder why you ever bothered carrying anything else. And if you’re anything like me… you won’t stop at just one.
