True, how can a nylon looking bag can be so expensive...that's what I used to think about Longchamp bags. However, after seeing my friends carrying the bags for functional purpose, stuffing the bag with their laptop, books, etc, I decided that I want one for Christmas.
I dropped by Longchamp store on Tuesday afternoon to exchange my Planetes bag for a size up. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was a no-hassle exchange. The bag is very durable and serves more for functional use than for looks.
When I am in need to a wallet, I will return. But for now, since the wallet is almost the same price as the bag itself, that can wait.
