A new Longchamp accessory has just risen to the rank of it bag on TikTok. Good news: it uses the codes of the emblematic Pliage model for much less. Here it is.
We see it everywhere! This mini version of the iconic tote Folding of Longchamp invaded TikTok. Stylish, practical and affordable, this accessory has become the French brand’s most popular model. So much so that the hashtag #longchampmini now has more than 11 million views on the Chinese social network. Except that in reality, it is not a handbag, but a toiletry bag that fashionistas have decided to transform into an it bag. In addition to being almost the same size and shape as Extra Folding in size XS, this vanity is sold five times cheaper, since the first is available at 350 euros, while the second costs only 65 euros. The only problem is that the Pliage pouch does not have a shoulder strap… But the users of the platform have found the ultimate trick to add one.
How to transform the Pliage Pouch into an it-bag?
Although this accessory can be carried by hand, some tiktokers have decided tobuy detachable straps to make the most of the Folding Pouch. According to them, it would suffice to obtain a leather shoulder strap and fasteners on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Aliexpress, etc.) and attach them directly to the handle of the toiletry bag.
You can also choose a chain or a scarf to accessorize this endless clutch and make it unique. A technique that does not require any transformation of the Pliage Pouch, to be able to use it as an it bag or a vanity.
