Longchamp Sales FAQ
When does Longchamp have its biggest sales?
Longchamp's most predictable sales happen during France's official soldes periods—winter (early January through early February) and summer (late June through late July). These government-regulated sales apply to Longchamp's French e-commerce and boutiques, with discounts on handbags, leather goods, and accessories.
Does Longchamp participate in Black Friday?
Longchamp rarely runs direct Black Friday promotions on its own website. Instead, the brand's best Black Friday deals appear at third-party retailers like Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and department stores. You might also see VIP invitation sales around late November, but those are member-exclusive events.
What's the price difference between Longchamp outlets and retail stores?
Longchamp outlets (like La Vallée Village in Paris or Metzingen in Germany) advertise around 30–40% off recommended retail prices on previous-season collections. Classic Le Pliage colors in basic black or navy are sometimes full price even at outlets, but seasonal colors and special editions get deeper markdowns.
Does the Le Pliage collection ever go on sale?
Yes, but it depends on the color and style. Core Le Pliage bags in neutral tones are rarely discounted, but limited-edition prints, seasonal shades, and older silhouettes show up in soldes and VIP sales. Third-party retailers like Nordstrom Rack carry Le Pliage at lower prices year-round.
How much discount can I expect during Longchamp sales?
During France's official soldes, discounts range from 20% to 50% off, with the deepest cuts appearing in the final weeks. VIP sales usually offer similar percentages on selected items, while outlet stores maintain steady 30–40% reductions throughout the year.
What are Longchamp VIP sales and how do I get invited?
VIP sales are invitation-only events where registered customers get early access to discounted bags, accessories, and leather goods. To receive invites, create an account on your local Longchamp site and opt into email marketing. Past examples include spring-summer sales in May and fall-winter events in November, though dates vary by country.
Where else can I buy discounted Longchamp bags?
Besides Longchamp's own sales, check Nordstrom Rack, Saks OFF 5TH, Gilt, and The Outnet for year-round deals on authentic Longchamp. Department stores like Bloomingdale's and Saks Fifth Avenue run seasonal promotions, and European outlet villages (La Vallée Village, Bicester Village) stock discounted pieces if you're traveling.
Are Longchamp outlet bags lower quality than retail versions?
No, outlet bags are the same quality—they're simply past-season styles or overstock from retail boutiques. However, some outlets may carry a small selection of “made-for-outlet” items alongside boutique overflow, so compare construction and details if you're unsure.
What's the best time of year to buy a Longchamp bag?
For the steepest discounts, shop during the final weeks of France's winter soldes (late January/early February) or summer soldes (mid-July). If you're outside France, watch for VIP sale invitations in May or November, or browse third-party retailers during their end-of-season clearance events.
Do Longchamp sales happen worldwide at the same time?
No. France's soldes are country-specific and legally regulated, so they don't sync with other markets. Other regions run their own promotional calendars—Asia-Pacific sites may have different VIP sale dates, and US shoppers see better deals through department stores than on Longchamp.com directly. Always check your local Longchamp site for region-specific offers.
