Meghan Markle’s Exact Custom Longchamp Bag Is Smart for Holiday Gifting

I didn’t log into work today expecting that Meghan Markle would inspire me to start thinking about holiday gifting in October, and yet? Here I am.
Last week, the Duchess of Sussex shared a recap of her trip to Washington D.C. on Instagram that included a tote bag personalized with the initials “DS” — a nod to her royal title. Immediately drawn to the custom tote, I wasted no time tracking down her exact style to add to my holiday wish list for the year. Enter: the Longchamp Le Pliage Signature Travel Bag.
Popular among celebrities and our writers alike, Longchamp tote bags are a reliable (and stylish) option to reach for when commuting to work, running errands, or embarking on a weekend trip. Couple that dependability with a personalized monogram, and you’ve got a holiday gift that’s functional, fashionable, and totally trendy.
