After a much awaited preview at the Paris Fashion Week last September 2010, 

Longchamp finally releases the highly anticipated Le Pliage ‘Arbre de Vie’.  Translated as ‘Tree of Life’ from the French lingo, 

this new design from the Le Pliage line showcases a brightly-colored feathered flock of birds perched on a gracefully rendered tree that somehow occupies

 almost the entire space of the front of the bag.  

It seems as a beautifully-lain art piece on top of the bag’s sturdy waterproof nylon material.
