One of the most anticipated launches from Longchamp this season as far as their Le Pliage collection is concerned has got to be the limited edition Longchamp + Mary Katrantzou collection, which features this fantasy print of Oriental lanterns and phalaenopsis orchids up in the air against a backdrop of blue sky.
Available in 4 different sizes of Le Pliage bags (from the smallest handbag to the largest travel tote) along with a pouch, they won’t be available in Singapore till mid-March 2012, but for those who must get them now, you’ll find them online at Colette going for between EUR55 and EUR160, depending on the size.
Besides the Le Pliage pieces, you’ll also find two totes, the larger Aquarium and the smaller Lantern, both of which feature different prints by Ms Katrantzou that retail for EUR320 and EUR350 respectively.
UPDATE: The collection will go on sale in Singapore on 8 May 2012, with prices ranging from SGD129 to SGD372 for the main pieces, while Lantern and Aquarium will retail for SGD741 and SGD813 respectively at ION Orchard, Marina Bay Sands and Paragon.

Want to buy one for my Mum as her birthday gift. It is so pretty! Can I still get this limited edition bag?
So sorry dear, but they are long gone.
This will be available in HK in March… have asked my SIL to get one for me… cannot wait… it’s been a long time since something from Longchamp has caught my eye… lovely oriental prints!
I ordered mine already!!! It was 22 euros to ship from France to the US. Anyone interested in the Jason Wu for Target collections? I am currently living in the US now and will be headed to Target for the launch!
That’s great! Do send me a snapshot for Bagaholicboy Mailbag as soon as you get it ok?

When is Longchamp Singapore launching exactly. Not sure to wait for them or buy from Colette now… though it is expensive to ship over from France.
I don’t have the exact date yet, why don’t you call the shop and see if you can wait list for any of the range.
LOVE THE PRINT!
