Inspired by: Longchamp Le Pliage



Longchamp at ShopStyle


The perennially classic Longchamp Le Pliage gets updated for summer in bright hues, like this lovely thistle blue, and retails for $145 at Nordstrom.



Old Navy at ShopStyle


Here's a roomy Old Navy tote that clearly isn't trying to copy the Le Pliage but looks pleasantly reminiscent with it's sturdy canvas build and contrasting faux-leather shoulder straps. Take your pick of blue, black, brown, white, pink or green for just $16.80. Perfect for the beach and back-to-school.

OMG BB! I just discovered that my boyfriend had taken his mom's le pliage to through his computer gear into during our move! So now it's going to be mine :-) What outfits can you suggest with this? Mine's black.

Liz, you must return it to the mother and then you will get your own somehow. Good Karma, you know.

Cute tote, but I'd still go for the Longchamp anyday please.
