How to Style Your Longchamp Le Pliage with Vintage Brooches
If you've spent even five minutes on Pinterest lately, you’ve probably seen a Longchamp Le Pliage bag styled with a bunch of cute keychains. And while that trend is totally fun and playful, I wanted to do something a little different—something with a vintage twist.
That’s when I had the idea: vintage brooches on a Longchamp.
I’ve always loved brooches—their old-school charm, the sparkle, the craftsmanship—and one day, it just clicked. Why not give your Le Pliage bag a unique, elevated look by pinning on a few vintage brooches instead of dangling a bunch of keychains?
Step 1: Find Your Longchamp Le Pliage
You can score a Le Pliage bag for a great price on secondhand luxury sites like The RealReal or eBay. Just search “Longchamp Le Pliage” and go with whatever color speaks to you—there are tons of classic shades and seasonal hues that work year-round.
Step 2: Hunt for Vintage Brooches
Next, it’s time to treasure hunt. Head over to eBay and type in “vintage brooches.” You’ll find everything from 1950s rhinestone florals to quirky mid-century enamel pins. Think glam, quirky, or even thematic—this is your moment to express your style.
Pro Tip: Go Magnetic
If you’re worried about poking holes in your bag, look for magnetic brooches instead. I’ve seen lots of comments asking how to avoid damaging the fabric, and magnets are a genius workaround. You still get all the flair, with none of the commitment.
Why It Works
The Le Pliage is such a blank canvas—it’s minimal, practical, and iconic. Adding a vintage brooch (or two!) turns it into something truly personal. It’s a great way to repurpose family heirlooms, add a bit of sparkle, or just switch things up seasonally.
So next time you’re thinking about accessorizing your bag, skip the keychains and go vintage instead. Trust me—your Longchamp has never looked this chic.
