Let's face it: Mini bags are no longer just a trend—it has become a staple in every modern woman's closet. While some may not understand the appeal (because why would anyone carry a bag that doesn't actually fit anything?), we truly believe that the best thing comes in small packages. Still not convinced? The new Le Pliage Cuir bags will prove you wrong.

For Autumn/Winter 2019, Longchamp is introducing an XS size for the very first time, and let's just say they strike the perfect balance between trendy and cute. If you're worried about space, rest assured that these arm candies still embody the roomy functionality of the brand's signature Le Pliage Cuir. Available in a wide range of materials and colours, from different types of leather including lambskin, watersnake-effect leather and crocodile-effect calfskin to three statement-making designs—an Appaloosa horse-print, a full metallic silver embossed LPG monogram, and the new favourite LGP monogram-print in black and white—there's a perfect piece for any (and every) occasion.

The other thing we love most about this Le Pliage Cuir collection this season is the personalisation options introduced. Aside from the leather straps, there's also a removable short top-handle strap that allows you to carry the bag in two ways.

If you'd like a longer strap that slings across your shoulder, take your pick from the thick monogram canvas or leather material offered—we prefer the latter that gives the bags a more luxe feel. Want to add a touch of shine to your all-black piece? A thin gold chain strap is also available. Mix and match to your heart's content—the combinations are almost endless. We can see ourselves toting one for a dinner date, or a weekend around town, and even to the office.
