For nearly two decades, several forms of Longchamp's iconic Le Pliage bag were part of my personal travel set. At the high school I attended, it was the most coveted bag for carrying books, and I have never parted with it since. I never understood why the bag was such a craze among my classmates at the time, but over the years, the nearly weightless and ultra-durable tote became my definite choice for a weekender or carry-on.

In my new favorite iteration, Longchamp My Pliage Signature, the iconic tote is more personalized than ever, with several sizes and 15 different colorways (plus a choice of leather trim and hardware). All have super-sized monogram options, and there is no chance of being misplaced on the security belt conveyor. The one I'm using right now is the travel size, which is perfect for putting under an airplane seat. It also works well as a portable short trip luggage that doesn't have to be unloaded right at the hotel like a bag with wheels.

Aside from its design, the My Pliage Signature is also the most sustainable bag since its creation in 1993. It is made of recycled polyester canvas, which itself is made from post-consumer plastic. With this initiative, Longchamp will henceforth transition all Le Pliage styles from virgin nylon to recycled nylon. Functional and environmentally friendly, this bag is an investment made to carry you (and your travel essentials) for years to come.
