We'd all love to be able to splash the cash on a brand-new designer handbag whenever we feel like it. But, why spend on a designer price tag when you can shop an almost-if-not-exactly-the-same lookalike for less, right? Right. That's why we've just so happened to find the best Longchamp bag alternatives for a lot, lot less.
If you want to go all out and 'bag' (pardon the pun) yourself a brand new fancy Longchamp Le Pliage, it's going to cost you. We're talking around £100, to be exact. Fair enough, if you want to treat yourself this payday, but, Longchamp bag alternatives exist - and they're probably a lot less expensive than you'd originally think. Some of the best lookalikes that we've found can be scored at affordable high-street brands like Amazon, H&M, Bershka, ASOS and more.
With the holiday season up and coming, Longchamp is the ideal boujee bag for your hand luggage if you're really wanting to make a statement at the airport. The OG is comprised of a canvas tote with leather accents that look oh-so posh. But you might find these similar bags all the more reasonable in terms of their price points.
So, here's where to shop the best bags inspired by Longchamp's Le Pliage tote that we just adore.
