Why we love this deal
When it comes to timeless designs, they always have a way of coming back. And for some dedicated fans with a penchant for the classics, they’ve never left. Longchamp’s Le Pliage tote bags are one of those accessories that have been a staple in many bag collections for decades, and it looks like it’s starting to make more waves with another generation.
Back in college, the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote Bag was the bag all the cool girls were wearing. While the classic tote is still as popular as ever, its mini version — the Longchamp Le Pliage Cosmetics Case — is gaining just as much traction. And right now, you can get it on sale in Nordstrom-exclusive colors. Originally $120, the mini Longchamp bags are on sale for $78 and 35% off.

Why do shoppers love it?
Even though it’s intended to be a makeup bag, we see the vision of making it a full-fledged mini purse. It’s made of textile with a leather trim, featuring the classic Longchamp flap with a button closure over a zippered top. The bag has a single handle with a 2.25-inch drop, and measures 6.75 inches long by 2.25 inches wide by 4.25 inches high. It’s certainly petite, but has enough room to hold small essentials, including your phone, wallet, keys, and more.
The interior has a water-resistant lining, which makes it durable against a little spill here and there. It also folds flat, making it packable and travel-friendly. You can easily keep it in your carry-on or backpack while traveling, and break it out while you’re wandering around on vacation.
Savvy reviewers turned the mini bag into a crossbody bag by adding a strap to it, and you can, too. We recommend this adjustable strap from Amazon that you can attach to the handle to wear it as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody bag.
The colors on sale are a black and white pattern for 35% off, and a denim color for 30% off. However, it looks like the latter is selling out fast. If you prefer more solid hues, there are other colors available at full price for $120.
