The main highlight of the day was the new Le Pliage Cuir, available in both Spring/ Summer and Fall/ Winter hues in various sizes. The Le Pliage Cuir, out of the best selling Le Pliage style was inspired by traveling women and the Japanese art of Origami - the bags are foldable into a smaller piece allowing it to be packed as an extra bag when in need. As a person who travels a lot, I find that this concept is a gem in having a long-lasting practical carry-all. Even the nylon version is waterproof, so you can pack extra clothing for that weekend getaway, or as a cabin bag when your check-in luggage is filled to the brim.

The best part about the opening of this new Longchamp flagship store in Pavilion is that for a limited time in November 2013, they are offering the chance for customers to Sur Mesure, or personalise their Le Pliage with a selections of colours, shapes and sizes according to your preference. The service is only available in certain countries online, but Malaysian fans can now experience this special service at their store. The options are endless, as there are a myriad of colors, hardware, length of handle and the option to embroider or emboss your initials on the bag - this allows you to have that one-of-a-kind bag unlike any other Le Pliage. Each bag takes up to 8 weeks to be processed as they will be made in Longchamp's original workshop so if you order as soon as possible, it might arrive in time for Christmas or New Year's making it the perfect gift for the stylish city girl on the go. 

By the way, since I travel a lot and would usually carry a cabin bag to stuff my extra items in, guess what did I manage to score at the new Longchamp store in Pavilion?
