Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break: Le Pliage Briefcase

    Interesting: the Le Pliage now comes as a briefcase. I’m interested to hear what you ladies think about this — on the one hand, it is a sleek look (and one that, I think, has become associated with quality), and it’s very lightweight, just like all of the other Longchamp nylon bags.
