Kate Moss in Longchamp Leopard Bag

Why do we need heinous logo plates in the dead center of a bag? I understand branding, and don't mind small and discreet stamping.  But this big thing, why not place it on the sides where the black patent leather is?  It'd at least blend in and not stick out like a sore thumb. And speaking of black patent, why the shiny patent with the leopard? Makes it look so cheap!  How about a nice buttery black leather or lambskin to compliment the calf hair leopard print?

Kate models for Longchamp so I know she was gifted this and I refuse to believe she'd actually go out and pay for this.  Don't get me wrong, I like most designs of Longchamp bags, I just can't get over the nameplate on every single damn bag. This is from the past spring so it's probably in the clearance bin for 75% off by now.

  • Amen Tina. Bummer on the logo patch. Otherwise it's a cool bag.

  • Guess she got it for free on her regular shopping biz, thing like that wont make a show with or with out brand.

  • im going to go out on a limb and assume that she wore it because its leopard. This woman loves her leopard

  • Yeah, the logo patch would have better on the sides but I have seen far worse.

  • I couldn't agree with you more. What a letdown, coming from not only Longchamp, but Kate Moss, who has always been a style icon of mine. At first blush, the bag looks like a winner, but then lo and behold a big patch of shiny. Not good. Not good at all.

  • I totally agree. Bag it with the big branding already. We get it.

  • I am a leather handbags wholesaler from Hong Kong. We specialize in exotic skins (alligator, python, pony hair & ostrich) with extremely nice workmanship & finishing. Hermes & Gucci are our promotion brand. Other than the style & colors same as the captioned branded label, we provide designing & tailor made service. You are welcome to visit my photo album at www.fotop.net/joechanlun for our existing designs. For interesting parties, please contact me at joechanlun@yahoo.com for details.

  • Well really, if your going to pay £300-£1000 for a bag, personally i think it's quite a good idea for people to know you spent that amount on a handbag, so no, i dont agree with it, it's a lovely bag.
