Longchamp’s Le Pliage, with its iconic Russian leather flap, needs little introduction. Originally inspired by the Japanese art of paper-folding, the line is now a cornerstone of the French fashion house.
Taking it a step further, this new iteration of the Le Pliage Filet is a collaboration with Madagascan NGO Anaka. The exclusive seasonal style comes in the verdant palm straw hue, while whispering tales of human hands at work. The vibrant green, a distinct nod to nature and the landscapes that inspire it, further enhances the look of raw, untreated palm straw.
The natural density of the palm straw imparts a distinctive volume. Juxtaposing against the cotton mesh body and Russian leather accents, it's a fun bag that oozes rustic charm. The subtle shine of the gold-tone snap button against the signature brown leather flap is another discreet nod to Longchamp.
Whether carried by hand or slung across the body, the Le Pliage Filet in palm straw is an invitation to embrace a life lived in motion. Priced at SGD465, the bag is soon to arrive, so do check in with local boutiques in Singapore.
