What USA buyers get from Longchamp France
Longchamp is a prestigious French luxury leather goods brand, famous worldwide for the Le Pliage bag. Buying directly from the French site ensures authenticity, access to exclusive colourways and monogramming options, and prices lower than third-party sellers. Shipping time from Europe to the United States depends on the carrier and service level you choose, with full tracking and export documentation handled by Resendify.
What to actually buy on Longchamp France (and ship to the USA)
Longchamp is a Paris house founded in 1948, and longchamp.com/fr is its home market: the deepest catalog, the fullest Le Pliage color palette, and the seasonal drops that land in France first. The real win is the euro-vs-dollar gap, not a tax refund. French prices are set in EUR and already include 20% French VAT, yet the same Le Pliage typically sits below US retail even before shipping. The catch is simple — the .fr checkout only ships to a French or EU address, so a US shopper needs a French forwarding address to buy from it.
Focus your basket on the icons, where the price gap and the made-in-France story are strongest. The hero is Le Pliage Original, the foldable origami tote: roughly EUR 85 (S handbag), EUR 95 (M tote, the everyday bestseller) and EUR 105 (L tote) on the French site. The M tote at about EUR 95 is around USD 103 at a ~1.08 USD/EUR rate, while the equivalent runs roughly USD 145–155 at US department stores — a clear gap before any US sales tax. Bags are one-size, so there is no body-fit risk, and a nylon Le Pliage is light enough to keep forwarding cheap. A nylon tote or a card holder is the ideal first order to test the flow before you commit to a bigger basket.
- Le Pliage Original — the foldable origami tote that defines the brand; ~EUR 85 (S handbag), ~EUR 95 (M tote, the everyday bestseller, ~USD 103 vs ~USD 145–155 in the US), ~EUR 105 (L tote)
- Le Pliage Xtra — the all-calfskin, Made-in-France leather version of the icon (XS/S/M/L), roughly EUR 380–470; the elevated everyday bag
- Roseau / Le Roseau — the signature snaffle-bit leather bucket and top-handle bags; a leather icon that anchors the premium end of the catalog
- Le Pliage Green & Le Pliage Filet — the recycled-canvas and net-bag variants, lighter and eco-positioned
- Le Pliage backpacks (~EUR 110), foldable shopping totes and XL travel/weekend bags (~EUR 135)
- Small leather goods — wallets and card holders; the lightest, lowest-risk first order to test forwarding to the USA
- France-first seasonal colorways and limited editions that sell out fast and often never reach the trimmed US assortment

Longchamp France doesn't ship to USA. Here's the fix.
No direct USA shipping
Longchamp France restricts shipping to European addresses, leaving USA shoppers without direct access.
High third-party markups
Resellers charge a premium for Longchamp France products. Buying directly saves 15–30%.
Geographic restrictions
Longchamp France's website may block non-European payment methods and delivery addresses.
Longchamp sizing: bags are one-size, pick the right model size and handle
Most of what you buy from Longchamp needs no body-fit conversion at all. Bags are one-size, so the real "sizing" is choosing the right model size and handle — which makes a Le Pliage the safest first forwarding order to the USA. Le Pliage comes in S / M / L / XL, and the same name exists as a short-handle handbag and a long-handle tote/shoulder version, so confirm BOTH the letter size and the handle length before ordering. Rough dimensions: S handbag ~30x23x22 cm, M tote ~40x30x21 cm (the everyday bestseller), L tote ~50x32x18 cm (carry-on / travel size). Le Pliage Xtra leather mirrors XS/S/M/L.
Footwear and ready-to-wear, if you order them, use EU sizing — convert with the table below and lean on the size guide on each product page. Because returns are impractical once a parcel leaves the EU, get the model size and handle right up front. Bags carry no body-fit risk, which makes this low-stakes compared with clothing or shoes.
- Bags are one-size: choose the model size (S/M/L/XL) and the handle (short-handle handbag vs long-handle tote) — confirm both before ordering
- M tote (~40x30x21 cm) is the everyday bestseller; L tote (~50x32x18 cm) is carry-on / travel size
- Le Pliage Xtra leather mirrors XS/S/M/L; small leather goods need no sizing at all
- Footwear and RTW use EU sizing — see the table and the product size guide
- No body-fit risk on bags, so this is the lowest-stakes order to forward to the USA
| Category | EU | US (approx.) | UK (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's shoes | 36 | 6 | 3 |
| Women's shoes | 37 | 6.5–7 | 4 |

Conversions are approximate (UK shoes are roughly EU minus 33). Bags are one-size; for footwear or RTW, verify against the size guide on each Longchamp product page, since returns from the USA are impractical. Source: Le Pliage Original — Longchamp official (collection & sizes).

US customs & import duty (EU → USA), explained
Here is the honest version most forwarders won't tell you. The old US$800 "de minimis" exemption that let small parcels enter the United States duty-free was suspended on 29 August 2025, and the suspension applies to EU shipments too. That exemption no longer exists: US import duty can now apply to your order from the very first dollar, with no value threshold below which clothing arrives free. The upside for your budget is that the US has no federal VAT or GST, so at the border you face customs duty only — not a value-added tax. Any state sales or use tax is your own obligation and is never collected by the courier. One more number to plan around: your your EU store prices already include Spain's 21% VAT, and shipping through a forwarder to an EU address does not let a private shopper reclaim that VAT (a tourist refund needs a personal export with a customs stamp, which a forwarder can't do). So budget against the .es sticker price, not a tax-free one.
The one figure we deliberately won't pin down is the exact duty rate, because in 2026 it is genuinely in flux. An IEEPA-based tariff framework was struck down in February 2026, and a temporary Section 122 surcharge now sits on top of the normal HTS apparel rates — so any single "X% on clothes" number you read online is probably already stale. Rather than guess, we estimate your full landed cost — item value, plus duty, plus shipping — before you ship, so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free Spanish forwarding address, fill your cart at your EU store, and run it through our shipping calculator for the real number before you commit.

VAT, honestly: where the real Longchamp saving comes from
Be clear-eyed about tax. The price you see on longchamp.com/fr already includes French VAT of 20% — it is baked into the sticker, not added later. When you ship to a forwarding address inside the EU, that VAT is charged on the sale, and a private consumer generally cannot reclaim it through forwarding. The "~20% cheaper after a VAT refund" framing you sometimes see applies to in-person tourist purchases that you personally carry out of the EU with a customs-stamped form — a forwarder cannot obtain that refund on your behalf, so we will never promise you one.
The real, bankable value is different and still strong: the euro list price converted to dollars, plus access to France-exclusive styles. Le Pliage Original M is ~EUR 95 (about USD 103 at ~1.08 USD/EUR) versus roughly USD 145–155 at US department stores — a clear gap before any US state sales tax, even with VAT already inside the French price. France is Longchamp's home market, so this is where the full Le Pliage palette, the leather lines and the France-first seasonal drops are widest. You buy from Longchamp at home-market pricing and selection, and a forwarding address simply makes the EU checkout possible.
- French prices already include 20% VAT — it is baked into the sticker, not added later
- Shipping to an EU forwarder does NOT let a private shopper reclaim that VAT — we never promise a refund
- The tourist VAT refund needs personal export with a customs stamp; a forwarder cannot do that for you
- Real value: the euro price converted to dollars (Le Pliage M ~USD 103 vs ~USD 145–155 US) plus France-exclusive styles
- France is Longchamp's home market, so the Le Pliage palette and seasonal drops are widest there
Forwarding to an address inside the EU means EU VAT applies to your purchase and is generally not reclaimable by a private consumer. We do not offer or promise VAT refunds. The US has no federal VAT; any state sales/use tax is the buyer's own obligation.
Shipping a Longchamp order from France to the USA: weight and cost
Longchamp bags are light, low-volume parcels — which keeps forwarding to the USA affordable. A large nylon Le Pliage tote weighs only ~0.27 kg (about 9.6 oz) on its own, and S/M nylon styles are ~0.15–0.25 kg. Boxed with a dust bag and a forwarder's outer packaging, a single nylon Le Pliage forwards at roughly 0.5–0.9 kg of billable weight. All-leather bags are heavier: a Le Pliage Xtra or Roseau leather bag runs ~0.7–1.1 kg unboxed, or roughly 1.0–1.5 kg boxed and forwarded.
Couriers bill on whichever is greater: actual weight or volumetric (dimensional) weight. Because shipped weight here is so low, consolidating several bags into one box is the single biggest way to cut per-item shipping cost — you split the base handling once instead of paying it on every parcel, which almost always beats separate shipments. Register a free EU forwarding address, send your Longchamp orders to it, and use the on-page calculator to price your exact weight and box size to the USA before you commit.
- A nylon Le Pliage tote weighs only ~0.27 kg on its own; boxed for forwarding it lands around ~0.5–0.9 kg billable
- All-leather bags (Le Pliage Xtra, Roseau) run ~1.0–1.5 kg boxed and forwarded
- Couriers charge the greater of actual vs volumetric weight — a foldable nylon bag stays close to its light actual weight
- Consolidating 2–3 bags into one box splits the base cost once and usually beats separate shipments
- Use the on-page quote calculator with your real weight and box dimensions for an exact rate to the USA
| Item | Typical forwarded weight |
|---|---|
| Nylon Le Pliage (S/M/L) / small leather goods | ~0.5–0.9 kg |
| Le Pliage backpack / XL travel bag (nylon) | ~0.7–1.1 kg |
| Le Pliage Xtra or Roseau leather bag | ~1.0–1.5 kg |

Estimated landed cost to the USA: a worked example
Here is a dated, illustrative example for a typical Longchamp basket: two Le Pliage Original totes (an M at ~EUR 95 and an L at ~EUR 105) consolidated into one parcel — EUR 200 total, VAT included, verified on longchamp.com/fr — which is about USD 216 at roughly 1.08 USD/EUR. Add forwarding for two light nylon bags in one box (~0.7–1.2 kg) at an estimated USD 35–60, then US import duty.
This is the part that changed. The US $800 de minimis exemption was suspended on 2025-08-29, so do not assume a sub-$800 parcel is duty-free — US duty can now apply from the first dollar. The 2026 rate is genuinely in flux: the IEEPA 15% framework was struck down in February 2026, with a temporary surcharge layered on normal HTS rates, so we show duty as a 10–20% illustrative band rather than a single fixed number and confirm a landed-cost estimate with you before you ship. Note the US has no federal VAT; any state sales or use tax is your own obligation and is not collected at the border. Even at the top of the band, two France-priced Le Pliage totes land well under buying the equivalent pair at US retail. Register a free EU address and we will estimate your landed cost first — then you decide.
| Line item | Estimate (USD) |
|---|---|
| 2x Le Pliage Original totes, M + L (EUR 200, VAT incl., ~1.08 USD/EUR) | ~216 |
| Forwarding, 2 nylon bags in 1 box (~0.7–1.2 kg) | ~35–60 |
| Estimated US import duty (10–20% illustrative band, volatile) | ~22–43 |
| Estimated landed cost | ~273–319 |
Illustrative only, dated 2026-06-13. The US $800 de minimis exemption was suspended on 2025-08-29; duty can apply from the first dollar. 2026 US duty rates are volatile (the IEEPA 15% framework was struck down in February 2026; a temporary Section 122-style surcharge sits on top of normal HTS rates), so we show a 10–20% band, not a fixed rate. The US has no federal VAT; state sales/use tax is the buyer's own obligation and is not collected at the border. We estimate your landed cost before you ship. Verify current rules at CBP (cbp.gov).

Returns from the USA: treat your Longchamp order as effectively final
Longchamp offers free returns within 30 days of delivery (with a separate 14-day EU withdrawal right), for unused items with their original tags and invoice, via a pre-filled prepaid UPS label. The hard constraint for forwarding shoppers is the country-of-purchase rule: Longchamp states returns must be made in the country where the order was placed, so the French prepaid label and the free return are valid only from France/Europe.
Once your bag has been forwarded from France to the USA, that French prepaid label no longer applies — you would have to ship it back to the French warehouse or your forwarder at your own international cost, which usually outweighs the value of a return. The practical takeaway: treat a forwarded Longchamp order as effectively final once it leaves Europe, and pick the model size and handle carefully up front. The good news is that bags carry no body-fit risk, so this is far lower-stakes than returning clothing or shoes — which makes a one-size Le Pliage the smartest place to start.
