☆ Longchamp & ☆ Mary Katrantzou Collaboration... (´∀`)

Talking about Longchamp bags, almost everyone knows what I am talking about as they are very popular all over the world. It's such a great accessory, folds in and folds out, super durable.  Bottom line, these bags are very versatile and chic and depending on the colour you pick, it goes with most outfits.

I only own one which is the black Longchamp Le Pliage in Large long handle.  I love it as I use it as my uni bag and also fits a LOT of my stuff when I go over for a sleepover and travel.

So, it turns out Longchamp and Mary Katrantzou collaborated and came up with the very colourful, pretty, east meets west Le Pliage bags.  To be honest at first I did not know who Mary was, I had seen her collection with topshop, but I still DIDN'T know who she was, until I started researching on these New collection which came out in UK perhaps around January 2012.  She is of Greek descent and you can look up her profile  here. 

Mary has combined her vibrant signature prints to the classic Longchamp bags, the theme is East meets west.  I am tempted to get one..but I have so many others on the wishlist too lol .... They sell them in Selfridges!

These bags come in a travel bag size, large shopper with long handle, two short handle bags in medium & small, etc and more are found on the Longchamp website or you can order online via Selfridges website or go to your nearest  Selfridges! 


Mine is in london but these bags are still too expensive for me...I do like them, but not sure if I LOVE them yet..... hmm... & as they are limited edition, they might just sell out lol 

Here is a video of Mary Katrantzou discussing working with Longchamp's creative director.
