LONGCHAMP UNBOXING | NEW ENERGY TOTE & BACKPACK 

Perfect timing. I need to replace my old longchamp. My first one lasted 10 years so I can't complain.

The Le Pliage backpacks are sorely underrated! They fit so much, are very comfortable to wear and do NOT fall over when you put them down. Own two and love them to bits.

I just love this design/ effortlessly chic french vibe of the classic longchamp. My first one is from 10 years ago and still going strong! I have a navy shoulder and a beige to be carried by hand. Love booth! This design with a mini leather flap, their leather color signature, nylon sporty chic is so unique and practical as it is water resistant ( hell yeah it has survived the test of Dutch weather!) A brand that never gets boring to me!

I love my longchamp backpack! It’s so light and packs quiet a bit. It’s also a great option to throw in your travel suitcase when you need a ‘back up’ bag.

I love longchamp! I have both styles but I gravitate towards the tote/messenger style because it’s easier to see and access all my necessities. The backpack I use for hiking or travel when I need a jacket, water bottle and I put my pochette accessories with all my loose ends. I think for work maybe the backpack will not work as well because it’s harder to organize for ease of use. But honestly you can’t go wrong with longchamp. Thanks for sharing!

That longchamp bag is sooo pretty! That is going on my Mother’s Day wishlist for sure. That zipper detail makes it so fresh.

I love my long champ tote and use it for work all the time! See if the large size option would be better to have a bit more room so it doesn’t feel so tight. Another option for a backpack is Matt&Natt that has a vegan leather backpack that looks super chic!! 💕☺️

I have one of the original LePliage totes and I love it. I bought one for myself and one for my mom for our trip to England four years ago. Those are the folding ones and it fit in our luggage so easily. We used them for day trips on our vacation. They’re so light and easy to carry. I love this Energy bag. Such a pretty colour and I love the black leather with it.💖

Me too. I used to be a tote bag girl, and now uses crossbody bags.

I would return both, and look for a larger sized version of either, but probably back pack for your back problems.

I love long champ bags. You literally can fit everything in there. It’s like a Mary Poppins Bag. 😊

The energy tote is so cute! I love the little refresh they did with the details like the rubberized zipper and pull

Hi Lauren! No idea at all that the zipper was covered by the rubber piece! So awesome! This new line is so intriguing. I have several Neos, love them and wish they never discontinued them!

I love Longchamp bags. They are very well made and practical. You would be able to fit a laptop in the medium tote. The medium tote fits a lot. I do have it from last season with detachable strap and it's great! ☺

Love the 2 tone color tone! You will absolutely love Longchamp. I own a larger sized tote and it’s my favorite carryon for the airplane. Then I have a smaller one I use as a purse. 😊

Is the rubber zip still strong after one year use? Appreciate your update.

I love Longchamp totes. Mine still look great after years of use. Both look great, I would keep both!

I’m so glad you did the laptop!

Hi Lauren, I just bought the Energy Tote in Black I got the small too!

I love this longchamp line! Very Balenciaga-esque. Very sleek. I’ve been looking for a tote and maybe now I’ll check out Longchamp!

Unless specifically want a small bag, I always go with the M. Get the larger tote…the color is beautiful.

Most people I've seen using Longchamp as a work bag seem to use the medium or large size. I've got the Marc Jacobs small Tote recently & used it as handluggage on a recent flight, instead of my Longchamp Le Pliage large tote. More room in the Le Pliage & it's much lighter. Finding the weight if the Marc Jacobs a problem as I have neck, shoulder & upper back chronic pain & arthritis. I hope your back pain eases.

I have so many Longchamp bags (maybe 7) and they are seriously underrated. I am glad though that not that many people talk about the brand on RU-vid because I want their prices to stay low and competitive 😅😂

J'adore Longchamp! I love both styles, but for teaching, I would gravate towards the backpack, but for my everyday bag I would go for the shoulder bag. Either way you're getting a stunning bag. Thanks for the comparison!

Hi🌸 I have several Longchamp tote and I love them . I would send them both back and get a larger size. You may even be able to get the neo version with the removable strap on other websites. I've seen some on Nordstrom's rack, Bloomingdale's, possibly Saks off fifth. The colors will be limited though since they are discontinued.

I love my long champ pliage lgp small for my everyday work bag, easy to grab my wallet in and out, or lipgloss when I’m out, I have the backpack too but not as convenient especially taking things in and out, have to kinda dig to get the items at the very bottom

I really love that new energy tote! I had the neo and in the long handle and loved it! Definitely get an organizer. I would recommend you use the tote for work and the backpack for travel and vacation.

I think you should keep both the bag and the backpack so you can keep some of your items in one bag and the rest in your backpack. I like to take my small backpack and a large satchel purse with me to work and school I do not like having everything in one bag I like to keep things balance so it can be easy for me to carry my stuff 💗💗💗 I love both bags ♥️♥️♥️

That T pouch is so cute!

I love longchamp. You should keep both!!!

love Longchamp, still have bags from when in school like 30 years ago, lol! I use mine all of the time and love that Longchamp will repair for free if any tears happen - based on your back issues, imo, would try to find a Neo with old strap as it's padded, looks thicker (can't say for sure as don't have any of these new models) and can change straps - love the lighter colors too but they do get dirty to point it's obvious, with a dark grey or black much better for obvious reasons - have all styles from leather bags to pliage, Neo to backpack and would absolutely go with an old Neo w/strap (they are still on some websites and even pre-loved has some brand new) and perhaps in medium size so you have extra room - hope this helps! xx

Great video! I’d think that I would keep the first one, the la pliable! They last forever are very chic and hold more than you think! Just use different Interior bags good luck!

Yours is the first up-close review that I've found of the Energy line. That hawthorn color is luscious and the zipper is so interesting. But I think you need the next bigger size! Like you, I wish the longer strap was removable. But so many Le Pliage bags have no long strap at all. Today I just received a Le Pliage Club backpack in "chalk," a beautiful pinky light grey color. Longchamp does so well with colors and quality. Thank you for a nice review.

Hiii! I love loooovee longchamp too. So durable and worry free. Seemed like can’t get enough of them. I think you should keep the backpack for lighter day use and exchange the energy to bigger size😊.

I bought my 1st long champ last year. It was the small le pliage in gray. I loved it so much that I bought another one in a large size in the color sand & one more small in all black. They’re so easy to take care of. I got my sand colored one dirty & all I did was wipe it with a damp cloth & it came right out. Plus they’re so easy to store since they fold up into tiny squares. The large size is perfect for traveling because it’s lightweight so you can fill it up with snacks , a sweater , spare chargers or anything else you might need & it’ll still be comfortable to carry. Since it’s a soft material, you can stuff it under the seat in the airplane and not worry about it getting ruined.

Omg the tote is so impressive. It's expands like a balloon 🎈 my vote is for the tote! But agree that the backpack would definitely be better for your back and neck pain 💕💕💕

Think u should get a energy tote bag with size M

Hi, I would return both for a bigger size and would consider carrying less. Maybe you could take a few things out of your makeup bag and catch all pouch? Just a suggestion. Also, I just grabbed a neo small tote from Bloomingdale’s. They may have some left.

Please don’t forget to film the “What’s in my work bag?” video 😊

Backpack is more functional--wish it had come in Hawthorne color which would make it less dirtier vs the tote. Using tote in Hawthorne will pick up dirt, especially on the corners of the bag. If you prefer the energy tote, maybe a darker color would be better to mask the dirt/stains.

Wow, love this new Longchamp line! 😍😍😍

Keep the black backpack. I love my le pliage tote in my school days but I think it’ll be equally heavy like the regular totes that you have. The backpack is my go to travel bag and it’s the perfect size for me. Maybe you should try a beis backpack!!!?????

Longchamp is such a beautiful brand- love their bags. Their city totes are so elegant and classy. xoxo Would have loved to see some mod shots!

keep them both! you’ll use both many times so just keep them. they aren’t that expensive and are very different.

The medium longchamp le pliage is a likely better fit for the amount of items you carry…. I have numerous longchamp bags and you can’t go wrong!!!

i have a longchamp le pliage bag as my bday present from my mom. it's durable and really hold the shape despite using it for years. i might get another one this year for work

I think you need a slightly bigger one. The medium is significantly larger. I have the neo and it’s very comfortable with the strap.

The energy tote is so cute and I love the colour! Might get this one for myself for my birthday

I have the same backpack, just different color- pale pink, love it 💜 And I adore your earrings! 😍

Hi! Just for choosing which one is best for you? What is your commute like? Do you have to take a train or subway and walk around with this bag? If so the backpack is better for your back, no?

I really like the blush color and the small things that really elevate it, such as that hidden zipper. Genius. I really enjoy your videos, having only recently discovered you. We have very similar taste. In fact after seeing you talk about the Neo City bag and how durable it is, I went and bought one the same. I love it! If I was a bag, that’s the one I’d be. It’s very me. Like i wouldn’t be a lady Dior bag for example. 😂😂

I had the latest le pliage NEO. Loved the removal wide strap, but the material.. corner-wear ony after few months.. sold it half price. But this line kinda got me.. it’s a different thicker material, holds shape. But the strap!! Wish I could cut it off or something)))

If you’re interested in a backpack I think you would really like the Sandqvist Alva!

Im using FJALLRAVEN KANKEN. It's decent enough for works well as a carry-on, since it's basically weightless and you can fit a bunch of stuff in it. It is also a laptop bag, you can place your water bottle on the side pocket and also your umbrella. This bag is created to solve some of the back problems.

I love the long champ backpack. I have 3 of them. They are excellent for everyday or travel

Gosh I love the tote and the whole aesthetic of it. Im really contemplating now if I should get one 🤗

The Longchamp backpacks are great but doesn’t fit much. The totes and crossbody ones are better options for daily use. Get yourself a Neo in crossbody medium if you can.

I used the neo as a diaper bag and my daughter is now 8, it still looks brand new. Now that I carry less stuff though, it’s a bit too big.

ive been lovvvving longchamp recently i see it so often!! its very Vancouver haha, I love the tote!!!

I think for your back issues, invest in a laptop backpack with padded straps - I know it’s not as cute but honestly it’s so worth it in the long run. Bellroy does some cute backpacks!

I have the navy Longchamp Neo bags in the large tote and the XS crossbody and they are my fave! I’m sad that line is being discontinued, but I will have to check out this new energy line. I love the color of the tote :)

Hi Lauren you could definitely get a bigger Longchamp, I have a medium Neo and it fits my 13 inch macbook.

the pink one is so cute it would be great for travel but a bit too small for work.

Honestly, it seems that you are not in love with both. I would return both and look into other brands for better backpack options that suit your needs. Maybe brands like Lululemon or Tumi? Love your videos ❤️

thank u for testing with ur laptop, noone actually tries this and it has been very helpful!

Ahhh I’m debating between the XS or X for the energy tote for everyday use 🤔 how are you liking it? I like the shoulder pouch bag too 🫣

Have you looked on Nordstrom rack? They have a lot of Longchamp backpacks that are larger than the one you bought.

I like Longchamp! I’ve something like 8 of them. Liking that Energy tote 🥰. I might wanna go and check it out. Thanks for sharing ☺️

Thank you so much for posting this! I have the small neo and was so upset when I found out it was discontinued (I wanted to get the medium size). But there was no reviews on the new energy line. So this has given me a bit of insight. Oh and for pure accessibility, i say get the tote. Just get the medium! But it still weighs on your shoulders if you’re carrying a lot for a long time. In which case stick with the backpack to save your shoulders! Okay. I don’t think I helped 😂

i just love your contents and just got a new subscriber :)

Hi, I enjoyed the video and I think the backpack would be a better option. It will place even weight to each shoulder.

I love and want both those bags! Wow

Hey Lauren!! Love the new pieces. If you are looking for a new backpack, check out Tumi. I just got one that I use as my work bag. I too was told that I should use a backpack for work and I absolutely love it 😊

I don’t recommend either for work due to size but they’re great for travelling. Perhaps try a bigger size for the le pliage?

Dear LValiquette ♥️ I Like Longchamp bag and Backpack. Handbag Shows Elegance in Handles and in Logo. Backpack is Stylish Black and Roomy. Hangbag is likewise Roomy. Your Cosmetic Set Will Fit in Cosmetics Bag. Mac Book Fits Nicely in Backpack. Very Beautiful Set in French Design. Bag Set Price is also Affordable. Have a Great Sunday Lauren ❤️😍💋 Sami ❤️😍💋

Just received the hawthorne small tote today after seeing this video. Loved the color- I wish the handles were slightly bigger so I could use it over the shoulder as well as crossbody- but I’ll see if I like it. Did you end up keeping your tote?

will recommend you to take medium size bags from this brand if you will like to put laptops. in General their bags are quite spacious despite the size you see! If you have more tote bag will suggest you to take the backpack instead.

I ordered the hawthorn medium..first one ever!!!

I have the medium le pliage, love the size but no dividers or compartments is challenging to organize. Anyone have suggestions for inserts?

The energy tote is soooo cute! I'm excited to see how you like it, once you start using it!

Which one did you keep? I suggest you get large size backpack is 3 times bigger so you don’t stuff all in

I purchased the Longchamp backpack after watching your video!

Return both, you can get a better deal at other websites with other colors. I hate how they took away the removeable strap. I do love the blush color but it doesn't seem like a good work tote for you.

They both look nice. I wish the company will add more color selection of the Energy tote.

So awesome!! I have a beautiful oddly-shaped baby pink handbag from Nordstrom’s there. Love Longchamp. I was excited to see you posted a video on them 😘😘😍😍💖💖… hi from PinkBarbieSparkles :)

The tote is wonderful! 😍

Thanks for sharing! I’m a teacher and I’ve been using my large lePliage tote for 2 years straight and still love it.I’ve been wondering about the energy line. I’m interested in a backpack or another tote.

I just finished watching both bags are nice. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Imwould chose both 😂. Have the blush bag and a backpack in a different colour and some more bags🤣

Hi Lauren! Love this video. I think I watched it a few times. What’s the measurements of the backpack so I can order the correct one? I’m not sure if this backpack has a MINI or smaller version. I need it to fit my Macbook air… Thanks in advance!

That pink one is so cute!!! but how do you clean it if it gets dirty???

If you are willing to modify the contents of the makeup bag & all the boxes of medications, maybe the backpack could work? If you curate a mini collection of things in each category that you like to bring daily. Perhaps the boxes of meds could stay at home, and just put a few bits of each into your stasher bag; just a suggestion, as I'm thinking of your shoulders.

Can you please give exact dimensions in inches for the Le Pliage purse in Hawthorn? So pretty! Thank you.

I think a medium sized energy tote would be best for you!

I'm deciding between this energy tote in small vs Marc Jacob's the tote bag in mini, as a vacation sightseeing bag. Which can store more?

have that 2 bags from Longchamp too 😁👌

So you influenced me to buy the same new style in medium black ♥️♥️ how is yours working out for you?

Can you tell me what brand your black pouch is called, the one that carries all the smaller pouches/wallet

Both bags are super cute but neither for me lol too small for work haha perhaps a larger bag? The quality does look amazing

Definitely like the tote more. I think I’d get the medium though, is it much larger?
