It’s no secret that we’ve taken a sartorial cue or two from Kate Middleton who is the master of high-low styling. Whether she’s pairing a $700 Beulah dress with affordable espadrilles or & Other Stories skinny jeans with a Boden blouse, when the Duchess of Cambridge turns a look, it almost always includes a little something accessible.
Many of her faves just so happen to be marked down right now, including the Glamour editor beloved Longchamp Le Pliage Bag, which is on major markdown thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. She was frequently spotted with this particular tote during the early aughts, but it’s also been carried by Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, and…yours truly.
One of the the very best weekenders, this durable water-resistant nylon bag is expandable in case you like to lug around extra workout gear that you’ll absolutely never use on vacation. It’s also easy to clean, has a comfortable, long leather strap, and it’s super lightweight. Plus, it folds up neatly with a handy snap so you can pack it empty and fill it up later if you overdo it on the souvenirs. Commuting? It makes for a fab laptop bag, too, and FWIW, it’s the tote I schlepped all of my text books around in college (back before the iPad existed) and unlike me, it never showed signs of aging. You see: It’s stylish and timeless. \
While we fancy the flexibility this Longchamp offers, there are also a slew of the brand’s other popular purses on sale at Nordstrom as well, like this smaller, embossed version which is $40 off and this cheery Barbiecore-inspired crossbody. Longchamp is seldom discounted, so if you were ever planning to make like the Duchess and snag a bag, it’s prime time to do so.
