Nordstrom Rack's online flash discounts are some of the best you can find, especially during sale season – like right now! I spotted the iconic It bag brand, Longchamp, discounted for up to 50 to 80% off but only until August 31.
You might have spotted Longchamp mini totes going viral on social media, but Longchamp bags, which effortlessly combine French style with practical everyday luxury, have long had a massive fan base, including the likes of Princess Kate.
The royal is said to own at least two of the handy Longchamp Le Pliage bags, which fold up to a discreet size when you're not using them, plus some of the larger travel carryalls.
Longchamp is on my radar for autumn, because the colorways are perfect, the material is just the solution for transitional weather, and they're also so versatile – you can carry them for back-to-work, back-to-school or travel.
The surprise "Longchamp We Love" flash sale has some of the most high-demand styles, including the Le Pliage backpack, starting from under $90 at the time of the sale's launch. Choose a lightweight, weather-resistant tote or backpack for your daily commute, or opt for a leather bag to elevate your cozy autumn knits.
I scoured the sale to find the best deals – and here are my top three, based on price, discount and customer reviews…
The Le Pliage tote's sister bag, which is textile with leather trim, is described by shoppers as a "great travel bag" and has earned a 4.4-star out of 5 rating.
One reviewer enthused it is the "perfect bag for travel because of how it folds up into a small packet, so you can pack in another bag". "Used on a recent family trip to Europe. It’s too small to be your carry on but it’s a great size to use while sightseeing. It’s discreet enough not to require checking at the museums but spacious enough to hold water and extra snacks or sweaters."
It has water-resistant lining and a handy top handle as well – all the details to make the perfect travel accessory.
At 78% off it's hard to find a better deal than this. Sale-priced at under $200, this on-trend quilted bag is super versatile, it has a removable chain strap so can also be carried as a clutch, and shoppers are taking it from day to night.
"Great for a night out," said one reviewer. "This bag is so adorable. The leather is refined in keeping with the made in France workmanship. It's a small bag but big enough for lipstick, phone and wallet. This to me is for a night out and it's the kind of bag you set up on the table when you eat because it's worth admiring and is an accessory worth highlighting."
This quirky look transforms the Le Pliage concept into a unique knit bag that's really fun. It has an impressive 4.6 out of 5-star rating, with shoppers calling it "cute and unusual" and saying it has a "hippie vibe". Reviewers recommend using a silk scarf as a liner, or take advantage of the transparency and use it for concerts or sports events.
Longchamp is such a popular brand, and Nordstrom Rack's flash sales are over in a, well, flash – so if you spot a deal on a bag you love I'd grab it ASAP.
