Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir - your opinions

[tinyelephant]

The colors look a bit shiny and glittery on the website! I hope they are Matt in real life cos i prefer it that way.

Hope Can see the gun metal one real soon!

I can't wait to see the Fall colors in person. I LOVE mine so much! The leather is so fantastic.

Are there any sales on these bags going on now?

Ive got both sizes, medium and large before, and even though the large is only 5 cm larger, its VERY VERY VERY big!! Not suitable for everyday use at all.

The Large size as discussed here is also know officially as the travel size if I'm not wrong. and is available under the Luggage section on the website. its not classified under handbags.

Others describe the medium size as the Larger size ( of the handbags) so maybe its a bit confusing.
Hope this help!

It does tinyelephant thank you!

Both the medium and the large look very similar in size on the websit which was causing confusion.

You're welcome Which size are you thinking of getting? Maybe get both?

I'm thinking that the small will be good size but I've thought that with other bags in the past. Yet, I own bags which I think are too small but none which I find too big. Hmm definitely need to see both...

I wished I knew how to tie this knot!

I attached photos that show how to tie It. Does this help? (ugh, will attach from next message)

It's a little bulky but I like the casual look.

Sharing my bag after chopping off the strap 11 inches.
I cannot carry it cross body anymore but I prefer it this way. =)

Yes, mine does.
And good news, the shortened length looks really good on you!

This is very helpful Doreenjoy. Thank you
Doesnt the knot slip when the bag is loaded?

No, it stays put.

The leather gets a bit wrinkled, but after its straightened out for a while, it evens out and you'd never know there had been a knot there.

It looks really good on you, tinyelephant!!! You're making me want to get the medium even though I know it will be ginormous on me!!

Thanks for the info. I actually chopped off 11 inches!
thier workmanship is good but they made a terirble mistake.

The original strap has a Joint line. Since i'm altering the strap shorter for good, I decided to cut off at where the joint line is. and that is about 12 Inches.

when I collected the strap, I was horrified to see the Joint line is still there! They cut the strap on the wrong side, and only cut off 11 inches...I guessed the tailor made her own decision..... I was very very disappointed as I could have a perfect full Strap. Almost cried!

Does all your Cuir's Strap has A joint line??

I asked them to cut off 5 inches from the edge of the strap. Refer to the picture.
Also pictures of their good workmanship.

Is this the strap's joint line you are refering? Refer to the picture.

Yes yes that's the joit line i was refering to and I didn't really like it.
I thought after the alteration, My strap will be a full length since I asked them to cut off at where the joint is. And I was very excited about it.

So So SO upset that they did not follow my instructions and left the joint line behind!

Aiyo!!!. Mistake had done, so now look at the brighter side...a shorter length that you want and enjoy carrying the bag .
