Story summary

Maisie Bovingdon from The Standard reviewed the Longchamp Le Pliage One Backpack, praising its stylish and posture-supporting design. The backpack is made from recycled polyamide canvas with a contrast leather trim and comes in five colors. It features adjustable straps, main compartment closures for safety, and folds neatly into an envelope shape when not in use. While it offers practical benefits like back support and easy storage, the review notes limitations such as fewer pockets and susceptibility to scuffing on lighter colors. The backpack is priced at a premium level but is suitable for everyday wear rather than long journeys.

Narrative

☆ What we love: Stylish and compact design, available in numerous colours, features adjustable straps, main compartment has zip and button closure for safety, easy to fold away and store when not in use Take note: Limited pockets, lighter colours can scuff easily, and expensive Longchamp’s creation is lightweight and slimline to wear, plus it folds into a neat envelope to store when not in use, which I appreciated as I have limited storage space in my London flat.
