21-Inch Expandable Travel Bag

Unfortunately, I have just returned the bag to Nordstrom for two reasons; First, the handle is way too small for a piece of carry-on luggage. It does not easily fit over the shoulder, nor does not adequately accommodate hooking over the handle of a second piece of luggage which is the most common way I would organize my travel bags. Second, the bag has no functional organization, no zipper pockets interior or exterior. The one small open interior pocket is too small and is not secure for anything important to which I would want access when traveling. While the quality and workmanship, and expandable feature of the bad is good, it does not have enough functional features for a good travel bag, and given the cost, I was disappointed as I love the look of the bag.

I am so tired of lugging around a carry-on suitcase, and getting hassled by flight attendants, e.g. "that it's not going to fit" (it fits every time!), so I decided to remedy the situation... Enter the Longchamp Le Pliage Expandable Carry-On! I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago and have already used it for an overnight trip and a 4-night trip, and haven't even had to expand it yet. For my 4-night trip, it held two pairs of shoes (wedges, flat sandals), 6 dresses, a light jacket, cosmetic bag, pashmina, and had room for much more (imagine the possibilities if it was expanded!). I highly recommend this carry-on! I purchased it in the Bilberry [deep purple] color to match my Longchamp large Le Pliage tote.

I travel overseas on a monthly basis and this expandable Le Pliage bag is always with me. I typically don't check my luggage and my Le Pliage bag accommodates my purse and my laptop and files, with room for a bottle of water and some snacks. And this in its non-expanded state. The expansion has been incredibly practical when there has been some duty free shipping: rather than carrying an extra bag I expand my Le Pliage and still only have my 2 bags with me. Like I said, a must-have for any traveler. In fact I have 2!

I have had this bag for a while now ( I believe 3 years, mine is the older expandable style without the shoulder strap) and I love the convenience of it and how it can expand for travel, work, gym, etc BUT all 4 corners of the bag have ripped! In fact, everyone I know who owns a nylon Longchamp has had this same problem with their bag. The holes have gotten so large on my bag that items such as pens and bobby pins can actually fall right out. I can fit most of my gingers in the holes and they keep growing!! I will have to toss this bag soon because I don't want to be losing my lip sticks!! I am disappointed in the quality of this bag, as it was $250 and advertised as a travel bag I would expect it to be much more durable.

I cannot understand why folks like this bag or why they think it is worth $255. I think that if this bag did not have the Longchamp name, it would not be as highly rated. It needs a large outside pocket, "feet" on the bottom to protect the bag, a 2 inch reduction in length, and some interior shaping to keep everything from flopping around inside if the bag is not fully packed. The only thing i liked was the shoulder strap. This bag was very disappointing and I returned the bag

I snagged this on a rare markdown in red and didn't use it until I took went overseas. It is a terrific bag for airline carry on and hotel room, especially on longer trips. Like Le Pliage totes, this bag folds up, saving space at home or on the go. I always take a folded Le Pliage large tote in this carry on for use upon landing and at my destination. This expandable bag is great when returning from trips with more stuff. I stored some personal items in the bag at a fancy hotel and found the staff searched it daily (I closed it just so), not unusual overseas. At least they didn't take the bag or its contents. As I do with the tote, I use colorful GWP cosmetic cases to organize items inside for easy finding, fast packing and portability. The nylon is sturdy, detachable strap and handles are ideal for long airport treks, looks great on the go. After I got this big red bag, I bought an expandable red Le Pliage tote at the Anniversary Sale. Highly recommend this versatile travel friendly bag.

I just got home from a 2 1/2 week vacation traveling to many destinations. I loved this bag and it was so convenient to have as a day bag and carry-on. This bag is like the Mary Poppins bag because you can store soo much in it and there is even an expandable zipper on it. This bag was also nice because it was able to sit on my suitcase while traveling due to the short straps not letting it go anywhere. Also, the long strap was the reason why i bought this bigger tote and I'm glad i did because it was much easier to carry the bag from that strap. I love the Longchamp brand because the materials last forever. Definitely worth the money for such a cute, durable, and large bag. Can't wait to use it when I travel back and forth from college!

I have been using Longchamp bags as carry ons and for general portage for many years and have always found them versatile, strong and attractive. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed in a Longchamp product. The zippers that should have opened easily to expand the bag were difficult/impossible to move. There were zippers on each side and none worked satisfactorily. If I could not open them in my home, certainly it would be problematic to have this bag while traveling where I might be stuck with an unusable bag. If I could rate it any lower, I would.

I bought my first travel bag years ago traveling to Europe. Second one in Europe third one at Nordstrom Online. My only recommendation is to go with a dark color. When I travel, I regularly sit my bag down on the floor. The dark color, black or navy look good longer. I bought one in light teal blue a few years back. It is not looking as pretty. Every bag is used regularly and greatly enjoyed. The bag, when full still easily fits in theover head bin on international and in country airplane bins. I would highly recommend.

Just purchased this bag and love it! I chose a red one and love the color! Really like how I can expand it for more room on longer trips! Also like the smaller size option which is perfect to fit in an overhead bin on planes! Highly recommend this bag!

I purchased this online. Since I'm only 5'1 I didn't imagine how large this bag would be. It's half the size of my body! The straps are not adjustable so it sits really low as a cross body (lower than my waist). I wish the handle was longer so I can wear it on one shoulder. I'm not sure If I'm going to keep it or return it. The plus side is that since it's a Longchamp I know that it will be light and durable. Tons of space to stuff for an overnight trip or a carryon luggage.

I received this bag 5 days after I ordered it. It's exactly as described / pictured. Plenty of room to stuff whatever you want for travel or a weekend getaway - especially handy that you can expand the length of it.
