Longchamp is the only branded bag I've grown to love because it's so simple, it's very sturdy, I can just dump my everyday stuff (and that's a lot!) and it still won't look too stuffed. I have to admit I didn't like it at first. But maybe that was because I haven't experienced having one at that time. But when I bought my first ever Longchamp, I slowly felt it was the perfect bag for people like me who have to carry lots of things in their bag everyday, but still look classy but laid back.
I bought my first one at Lazada. It was a Longchamp Le Pliage Neo, Large with a long handle. I was worried at first that it might be a fake one. But fortunately, after researching and checking for indicators of a fake Longchamp bag, it passed. And when you hold it it really feels like top quality.
Lazada delivered it to me in a plastic, with the Longchamp paperbag folded inside.

Interior of the bag. I like that it's made of some sort of rubber so it's so easy to clean in case something spills.
