    Such a cute bag!! I adore Longchamp... Love the waterproof zipper and the lightweight material. I just wish the long strap on the energy line was detachable!

    • @CarolenGrayToday
      @CarolenGrayToday  2 роки тому

      It is so cute and I agree I wish it was detachable but it definitely gets plenty long for crossbody for me ☺️

      Lol your wish came true 😂 The new version’s strap is detachable. however, I specifically looked for the original version. I prefer this design :)

    I actually like the fussy handles! They make me feel like it’s harder for pickpockets to get in. I have the worst luck with pickpocketers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

      That’s a shame that people are so lazy they resort to taking others things. I’m sorry to hear you’ve dealt with this but really glad you found a purse that has helped with it

      They're fantastic bags and I would say they are some of the most weather resistant out there!
      Thats said- I did end up selling this one but have 3 le pliage in small, medium, and larger (you can find videos about those as well!) and I have plans to add more colors to my collection in the future!

    I think that bag is a cutie patootie and it looks so versatile! I'm sure the handles and flap will wear in a bit - fingers crossed! Also, I have never known anyone but me to carry around ear plugs...LOL And I love that you do. I do it because honestly, sometimes I just need peace and quiet and can get ragey if I can't find it! ;)

    • @CarolenGrayToday
      @CarolenGrayToday  2 роки тому +1

      YES! My airpods are really great too since they're the pros but sometimes I just want the soft cushy earplugs!
      I think I started carrying them in February 2020 because we went to the Celine Dion concert and I was worried it would be too loud :-) Im such an old soul (and/or old bodied person! hahaha) I am loving this bag and I like how lowkey it is to the world!

    Which Longchamp le pliage model do you think is less fussy and can be accessed with one hand : the handbag plus long strap or the classic shoulder bag?

    • @CarolenGrayToday
      @CarolenGrayToday  Рік тому

      I personally like the classic le pliage shoulder bag ... I have it in large and I feel like it's less fussy for me... may not be the case for everyone though.
      The top flap on my large has loosened up and gotten easier to get in to but I sold this energy tote a little while back to a subscriber!

  • @joellechiara
    @joellechiara 2 роки тому

    I do like this bag a lot. I think the one thing that's keeping me from buying is that it doesn't have anywhere to put the extra strap if you shorten it so you have a dangling random black end? hmmm

    • @CarolenGrayToday
      @CarolenGrayToday  2 роки тому +1

      Yes I would say that and the fact that the strap is not changeable/ removeable are two factors to consider for sure. :-) The dangling part hasn't bothered me but I also don't shorten it a whole lot. I carry it cross body when I have used it.

    Its a really nice bag and I see no big that you cant remove the strap.
    Though Ofcourse im minority because now they changed that for the new version.
    This is a more casual soprty bag that apparently no one liked the idea .
    The idea of this is like a more premium lululemon bag but again no one got the memo
    We really need to chill on the bags being dressy. Sometimes a casual bag is pretty stylish too.

    • @CarolenGrayToday
      @CarolenGrayToday  8 місяців тому +1

      youre right its not a big deal the strap couldn't be removed but at that time I liked being able to have the choice of having it on or not ya know?!
      thats funny they changed it on the newer version of the bag!
      If no one got the memo on it being a more premium Lululemon bag their marketing team didnt really do its job properly- however you can tell its not supposed to be a 'dressy' bag - definitely a more casual bag and it did its job as that!
      youre right - casual bags are stylish- i like to have bags that I can dress up with or dress down and this bag is not a dress up bag its definitely casual only IMO.
      Thanks for watching and commenting! Always fun to hear other peoples perspectives! :-)

      @@CarolenGrayToday well you can sort of dress it up, maybe not for events but using it for a nice lunch with your girls. Or going to the mall it’s a great bag. The only issue with those bags which could be a good thing is we have to work on our hair and make up with it.
      That’s I got it actually lol 😂, I got the XS with the removable strap and still I feel like I need more work on myself to look nice, sometimes I’m quite lazy to do hair and make up and for a long time I also only bought bags which dressed you up or down, bags that did the job for me. Then I saw once two girls at Zara line to pay your items with their medium totes and thought woow I really underestimated longchamp lepliage it can look super nice and stylish with taking care of your hair and make up.
      So yeah I bought my lepliage energy to invite myself to work more on my hair and make up when I go out. lol
      Besides I’m not much of a party girl, I actually prefer going out at daytime or at night just some cute restaurant to have dinner. I’m not a big fan of partying so the longchamp satisfy my needs. I have other more versatile bags I can dress up or down but this longchamp it’s great for everyday.
      But yes this energy bag line is meant to be stylish casual
