Question - emboss or not? I'm having a hard time deciding from the pictures if I want to add this... do they do a good job? has anyone regretted embossing their initials in the leather?
This is for the custom nylon le pliage
I say it's a go. They do a great job; I have ordered 3 custom LP's with embroidery, 2 for myself and one for my Mum, and I still haven't seen a loose thread - not even on the 12-yr old bag! Haven't really seen any complaints on the forum on the embossments or embroideries either.

Thank you! I've looked through so many pictures, but rarely see a good shot of the embossing on the leather, so that's why I asked. Everyone's embroidery looks amazing in the pictures, good to know it wears well!
 
I know a few tpf-ers have gotten custom Longchamp bags.

-how long did it take for it to come to your door after ordering?
-do they update your order status that they're working on it or shipping it?
-what did you get?
-pics?? :biggrin:

I ordered mine on May 22, it stated 3-4 weeks. I have not received any updates at this time. I got the LH Travel size tote, and I will post pics whenever it arrives. I chose that size because my Speedy 40 will fit inside when traveling, and it’s also a great carryon size for travel, and a nice size to use when shopping! :P
 
What a lovely gift for your mom.
This really helps, thank you! You don't happen to have a picture of your mom's bag? I thought about having my initials embroidered instead, since this will be a travel bag for me...but really like the bird motif.

Very pretty!!! I ordered mine about two weeks ago, and I chose the same colors, Gunmetal and beige stripe.

Great choice, such classic colors! Did you include your initials?
So, I ended up changing my mind, and went with gunmetal and Flower.. i ordered it last week. Would love to see a picture of your bag when it arrives,
 
Here's my first attempt at a custom Longchamp. Black main body, amethyst flap and strap, cat embossing, lavender snap, fuchsia lining, and my initials stamped (didn't show up in the pic). The snap closure looked metallic on the site, but it's matte in reality. I also didn't realise it's a slightly different design to the original crossbody, but more than happy with how it turned out anyway.

Very cute! I’ve played with color combos for this bag on LC’s website. How is this design different than the regular design of this bag? Can you elaborate? Particularly, is the bag smaller/larger? Is the strap the same length?

Love it!!! I have been thinking about this one too, also in black/amethyst or maybe black/cherry. I’m also interested in how it’s different than the regular one.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your new bag!!! Had to download this picture hehe! Please do elaborate on the different design aspect - as far as I can see, no panels unlike the stock version. Makes me think that the stock version is made from leftover leather pieces vs this the customised ones, LOL!
 
Hi
I've just seen the colour 'pebble' on the UK website and wondered if anyone has any pieces in this colour. When I called the SA said it was a light grey but online looks a lovely soft brown. Any help would be great. It's my birthday today and I was thinking of treating myself to something! Thanks very much.
