Thanks for sharing this! Clay looks so lovely.Hey everyone! Contemplating a Cuyana zippered tote. I have the medium LV Neverfull on my someday wishlist, but these Cuyana bags for $150 to $250 feel like a steal and something I could carry daily without feeling like I need to baby it.
I contacted customer service because I wasn't quite sure of the darkness of the grey bags (replacing a Longchamp le pliage gunmetal). Anyway, I figured this picture might help someone else
Here is the order of the bags.
1. Fog Classic Leather Tote (dark grey)
2. Clay Classic Leather Zipper Tote (taupe-y grey)
3. Cool Grey Classic Leather Tote (lighter grey)
4. Light Stone Classic Leather Zipper Tote (light grey)
5. Ecru Classic Leather Tote (white/cream)

after much agonizing over whether the small carryall was large enough for me, shopping everywhere on the planet for the "perfect" bag, and finally being fed up with my everyday bags, i FINALLY decided to just get the small carryall in sable! so excited about it. and get this - i got the order confirmation and the shipping notification TWENTY FOUR MINUTES apart. can't believe it's on its way that quickly! i hope i love it as much as you all do.
I hope you love it! I just switched into mine today!
thanks! i feel like it's the perfect minimalist spring bag!
I'm so jealous!! I live in London and Cuyana doesn't deliver here but the next time I go to the states, I have the wool wrap coat, the travel pouches in olive or stone/turquoise (if it comes back in stock), the infinity scarf and about 4 of those beautiful bags on my wish list. Reading this thread makes me even more envious and you've all made stunning choices. Literally can't wait to get my hands of those- has anyone been to the San Francisco stores? I haven't heard much about them but I would love to be able to actually feel the materials before buying
I hear you! I ended up buying a Madewell tote as I could get my hands on one via Shopbop. Loved it so much I bought a mini one too but it has a poorly functioning zip
Ended up keeping it, but it would definitely be better to see these things in person first........I hear you! I ended up buying a Madewell tote as I could get my hands on one via Shopbop. Loved it so much I bought a mini one too but it has a poorly functioning zip
unfortunately there are only stores in San Francisco and LA - but the past two years they've done a pop-up holiday shop in NYC in December, which is at least a bit closer than California if you're making a trip over here! I didn't go to the first pop-up, but this past one had the entire line so you could check out everything.

Wish Shopbop had Cuyana 😩. Which Madewell did you get?

Doubt I'll be making it over to NYC again anytime soon but maybe I'll visit San Francisco or LA hopefully soon. It says on the check out page if I want to place an order outside of North America, I should email them- has anyone tried this? I've just sent an email so fingers crossed they can deliver to London just once.
ahhhhh! you guys, i LOVE my new Cuyana, but on its first trip out, it got transfer from a black item of clothing i was wearing. as you can imagine, i'm super mad at myself for not thinking about it, and also feeling like a total idiot because who knows what else in my largely-black wardrobe will be a no-go with this? i wanted it as an everyday bag! this kind of stupidity is what you get from someone who has carried only black bags for ten years. sigh.
anyway - i'll figure out the wardrobe bit, but for now, what can i do to clean that gorgeous pebbled leather? it's not nearly as bad as it could be, but i want it gone! i tried some dish soap on a cloth, which did an okay job, but definitely isn't getting all of it. help!

You may want to contact Cuyana and ask them what they recommend for color transfer. I must admit to being baffled how I've made it along this far in life and never encountered the dreaded color transfer!
I bought a Transport tote in the dark wine colour which is gorgeous and the perfect size for daily use. I also bought a black mini tote, also lovely apart from the zip!
I sent them an email and got an almost immediate, super helpful reply! Loving this company even more now. For anyone interested, they recommended the Cadillac Leather Cleaner and the Kiwi Rain Protector Spray. Note that my bag is pebbled and they still say this is safe - I know some people have heard conflicting views on that from some other brands.
I have never had the bleeding problem either as I nearly always have a black bag... On the other hand, I have had dark jeans bleed onto white tops/sweaters and an ivory jacket many times... ugh!
