I already got it!! It came so fast. I love it!! Thank you :) how is it holding up? I'm very tempted to get a talk tote in black but am afraid it would be too long on me. I'm only 5'3"

Awesome! :) You will love it, it holds so much.
It's holding up great, bought it in April and have used it off and on since then. I have the tall tote in another color, I actually like the tall better I'm 5'7.

If I can figure out how to upload a photo, I will. I took a picture with my regular tote and the tall tote at the Cuyana shop in San Francisco. In the shop they fill their bags with the dust bag (that is filled with tissue) to keep the shape of the bags, and the bottoms stay flat. The tall tote was actually not as long on my 5' 4.5' frame as I expected it to be since the bottom was flat.

Thanks :) I am definitely going to get a tall one. I love this tote and keep grabbing it over my LVs. I just can't decide on black or brown now...

You're welcome! I have the Caramel pebbled leather & I absolutely love the color/look of the leather. If I get another it will be the tall in black ;) to match my luggage.

If anyone is still looking for comparison pictures, I just received my Cuyana zippered tote in the color "sand" and in smooth leather. I love how soft, smooth, rich and buttery the leather feels, but it will definitely benefit from a base shaper to prevent any sagging. I love all of the following bags for different reasons, and I hope these pictures will help someone who is still deciding.


1) Cuyana zipper tote in smooth leather/sand next to the Madewell transport tote (back side of tote, hiding my initials)

2) Cuyana zipper tote in smooth leather/sand next to the Longchamp large planetes tote (discontinued, similar to the le pliage and the le pliage neo totes but with a thicker material)

3) Madewell transport tote (back side of tote, hiding my initials) next to the Longchamp large planetes tote (discontinued, similar to the le pliage and the le pliage neo totes but with a thicker material)

hi may i know based in your own experience, which leather is more durable? us the smooth leather prone to scratch?

Hi Fsadeli, I've been "babying" the tote because it seems like it would scratch easily, and so far I don't have any scratches on it. It's a very smooth and supple (aka super squishy) leather, and I definitely wouldn't throw it around like some of my other bags. My Madewell tote is more "scratch resistant" than the Cuyana smooth zippered tote (but the Madewell tote is more structured due to the stiffer leather). Hope that helps
