To quote Malcom Gladwell I noticed something has recently hit the Tipping Point. Longchamp of Paris. What's ironic is that there has been no advertising, none what so ever, and the bag no where near new, however none the less it's on shoulders from coast to coast. My initial reaction to Longchamp was reminiscent of sorority girls with pearls and cardigan sets on the
East Coast, and or Soccer Moms, once again with pearls and cardigans, which is to say that it didn't appeal to me.
What I've seen lately is a trend in the Hip Prepsters, you know the ones...The girl with the less than perfect hair and the decent job, who is looking for the place where function meets fashion. What's awesome about Longchamp is that it makes a statement, subtle but clear. Quality over trend..but now it's trendy.
La Pliage, priced at $145, it's not something that will break the bank, it won't go out of style and it will last until you hit soccer mom status. Now that's a deal!
