Longchamp Le Pliage Neo

I have been saving for a new bag for a while now, and you'll have seen from my wishlist that I had a few options in mind. However, this one was a bit of a surprise and rather crept up on me.

I have always admired the Longchamp Le Pliage as a very chic and practical bag; even though it's absolutely everywhere, I don't get sick of seeing it. I was never swayed enough to get one myself until I saw the Neo version on a friend of mine. She in turn had bought the Neo after seeing it on a colleague.

I kept the Neo in the back of my mind for a few months, but it was only after seeing a lady on the tube with this bag and basically staring at her bag for the whole journey (I'm sure I probably freaked her out quite a bit) that I decided I really wanted it. I even looked the bag up on my phone whilst I was sitting opposite her, in case the people next to me weren't already sure of what a creepy bag stalker I really am.

I ordered my Neo from Selfridges and it was £90 not including postage. I am so happy with it - it's chic and a little bit different. It's also very hardy and has gallons of room. It's a perfect "throwing around" bag, for the airport, the gym, errands and short trips.
