The Le Pliage Filet reworks the classic silhouette in an open-weave cotton mesh body, made in partnership with French net-bag maker Filt, with Russian leather handles and flap and a push-button folding clasp. Its net-bag texture gave the line a distinct fashion moment separate from the nylon Original.

Reference SKU/colorway for pricing and imagery: Ecru mesh/canvas, Mesh bag L (10121HVH037), the flagship colorway featured on Longchamp's own official Filet collection page. Resale for Filet runs $35–$75, or roughly 30–50% of its modest $105 retail price, in line with the rest of the Le Pliage family's resale reality, and driven more by finding a buyer who specifically wants that mesh texture and colorway than by any scarcity premium. Because the line was produced in a narrower size and color range than the nylon Original, certain discontinued mesh colors can occasionally sell faster or slightly above the low end of the range, but there's no strong evidence Filet holds value meaningfully better than the Original. Treat it the same way: a fun, distinctive-looking bag worth buying to use, not to resell for profit, expect to recoup well under half of what you paid.
Longchamp launched Le Pliage Filet in February 2021, partnering with Filt, a French manufacturer that has made net shopping bags since 1860, to rework the Le Pliage silhouette in an open-weave cotton mesh body instead of nylon canvas. The collaboration paired Filt's traditional net-bag craft, historically used for market and beach totes, with Longchamp's signature Russian leather handles, flap, and push-button folding clasp, keeping the fold-flat practicality of the Original while giving it a completely different, more textural look.
The mesh construction made Filet an immediate visual standout in Longchamp's lineup: unlike the nylon Original or leather Cuir, its see-through weave let colorful liners and interior contents show through, and it launched at a moment when net and mesh bags were having a broader fashion moment. Longchamp has kept Filet in rotation as a smaller, more directional line within the Le Pliage family, offered in a narrower size range and color palette than the core Original.
Le Pliage Filet built its reputation quickly among fashion editors and bag-of-the-moment content in the early 2020s, prized for looking distinct from the ubiquitous nylon Le Pliage while still carrying Longchamp's recognizable leather flap and handles. Its open-weave construction made it a popular "beach bag that still looks put-together" pick and a way to wear the Longchamp name without it reading as the same tote every college student and commuter already owns.
Compared to the nylon Original, Filet is a smaller, more niche part of the Le Pliage family, it never approached the Original's tens-of-millions-sold scale, but it earned a loyal following among shoppers who specifically wanted the net-bag texture and were willing to trade some structure and water resistance for a more distinctive look.
