The Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Bag is the ultimate work staple, delivering a practical sense of style that looks endlessly smart and sophisticated. It's large enough to fit a standard 13" inch laptop, comes in a few different iterations and can be folded down to the size of a book. We've even spotted this iconic bag in plenty of airport queues, becoming a statement accessory that some would even see as necessary for travel. Are you starting to see the hype now?
While we'd love to be able to invest in a brand-new designer handbag, Longchamp's Le Pliage comes in at £110, which may be slightly out of budget for most. Luckily, there are plenty of Longchamp bag alternatives on the high street that look much more expensive than they are. Just one of these is Mango, who have just dropped their Shopper Bag, £22.99 - and it's suspiciously similar to the original.
