Fyi for anyone ordering a personalized bag, I saw on their website that their studios were closed until August 23rd and delivery time would be delayed.

I'm hoping someone can help me out with a sizing question ... I have both SLH and LLH regular le Pliage totes, and a couple of custom SLH totes, which are the same size as the regular (non-customized) SLHs. I just ordered my first custom LLH, which (from what I've heard on tpf) I should expect to be slightly larger than the off-the-shelf LLHs. My question is about the Medium custom size. How does it compare to the other two? It looks like it's an inch wider than the SLH tote, but no taller. Is this correct? Longchamp's measurements are not always consistent. I've been hoping for a le Pliage that is in between the SLH and LLH sizes, and wonder if this custom Medium is it.
For anyone that has an embroidered bag, do you worry that the threads will come loose or unravel?
My 11-yr old custom LSH has embroidery and it still looks great. There are no loose threads, nothing unraveling. The quality is the same as in all LC.
Ordered my first ever Le Pliage yesterday! Been thinking about a custom bag for a while but since deciding it'll make a great all weather work / gym bag (I'm in the uk) & took the plunge! Shipping is 2-3 weeks which doesn't seem bad at all!
If I'm happy with this bag I'm considering saving up & getting the cuir perhaps around Christmas.
For anyone who has a cuir - is it heavy? Is the leather prone to scratches?

forgot to post these pix. my local LC is back to taking orders in store.
Made an order - and not for one, but TWO custom nylons! 
I'm hoping my Mum doesn't read this subforum as the other bag is for her. Because Christmas is just around the corner and you can never pamper your family too much. I also firmly believe in pampering myself.
Mine looks like this:
LH travel bag, Amethyst with Peony stripe, SHW and embroidery in Amethyst.
Mum is getting this one:
Small LH, Gunmetal with peony stripe, GHW and embroidery in Gunmetal.
Mum is going to be so happy and so will I - only a little bit earlier than her. Because I get to use my Christmas pressie as soon as it arrives and she has to wait to get hers!

Lovely combinations!
When your mum comments on your bag, are you going to tell her that you also have one for her for Christmas? It will be hard for her to contain her excitement then heheThank you, I think the bright colors will be really cheery for the gloomy fall weather ahead.Lovely combinations!
I might torture mommy dearest a bit if she gets to see my bag before Christmas. Just a little. Because she is a cheeky devil and never misses a chance to screw with people. Payback time...except if she's reading this, in that case MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM! Def was joking about the torture part, oh and the thing about you taking the piss out of people. Please be gentle.
Congrats, make sure to post what you got when it arrives!
Cuir is really lightweight and very durable for what it is. It can get scratched but I haven't managed to get any scratches on mine in the several years I've had it.
There's an entire thread on the Cuir, might be worth looking into for akswers on any of your questions!
Here's my brand new Size 4 LH in Amethyst/Peony. Took 3,5 weeks to get it, of which 1 week of delivery time. LOVE!
