Alexa Chung's Longchamp tote is the chic luxury work bag I've been looking for

Longchamp bags remain among the most affordable luxury styles you can buy, with perennially chic appeal and A-lister approval. Be it the classic Le Pliage tote (£115, Longchamp.com) – debuted in 1993 but enjoying a resurgence thanks to Gen Z – the crescent Le Foulonné (£360, Longchamp.com) or the Le Roseau (£445, Longchamp.com) with its bamboo toggle clasp, the French label’s bags transcend both generational style and seasonal trends. The latest style to steal the fashion world’s attention? The newly launched Le Cadence. Combining the Le Pliage’s signature leather tab with a bucket bag silhouette and supple calf leather finish, it’s the stylish yet practical work bag I’ve been looking for. Backgrid, @tiziano.raw & LongchampOnly adding to its covetability, Alexa Chung has been spotted with the bag slung over her shoulder in New York. The style icon made a case for the black Le Cadence with a matching khaki shirt and bermuda shorts. Tying in the look, Alexa wore a black studded belt, black kitten heels and black sunglasses. J'adore. There’s something about September looming that still carries that back-to-school feeling – new bag included. If you’re in search of a work tote that will seamlessly take you from your desk to dinner, the Longchamp Le Cadence might just be the one.
