Well, well, well… happy New Year. In this video I’m kicking off 2026 with my very first unboxing—technically my last purchase of 2025 because I didn’t want it in my count for this year (yes, I’m cheating a little bit). I’m unboxing the Longchamp Le Pliage Energy XS, and I’m sharing my first impressions, the packaging, the strap, and all the little design details that made me instantly fall in love after being influenced by a random reel. Once I get her opened up, I walk through what I love: the quality of Longchamp hardware for the money, the sporty-but-still-put-together vibe, and the practical details like the more “waterproof-style” zipper and those tassel pulls that are really trending. I also show the interior layout—one main open compartment plus two pockets (including a tiny one that fits my AirPods Pro perfectly). Then I pack it up and do a real-life “what fits” with my everyday bare minimum essentials: my Louis Vuitton Victorine wallet, keys, pill case, two little clear pouches (one for longer items and one as a mini safety kit), wipes, sanitizer, and more. I talk about why I love nylon for everyday life (no babying it), why I don’t want to “Tetris” in and out of a top-handle bag, and how this XS size finally feels intentional on my frame compared to the smaller pouch styles.
