Longchamp Autumn - Winter 2018

It’s a nice burgundy

It's very pretty. I did try on the Cavalcade WOC in black. I did enjoy all aspects of it except the fact that the chains will create wear very soon to the sides of flap where it rubs against. This is because the bottom sags a little when I have things within, so in order to close the bag properly, I will need to pull down harder. If I wish to minimise wear, I will have to lift the bottom and close. It feels like an extra step to me. The Fou WOC is more fuss and worry free with its thicker leather.

The garnet Cavalcade I photographed at Bloomingdales was the small crossbody. I actually preferred the medium Cavalcade crossbody when trying them on at my boutique recently; was a very practical size, not too big, not too small, very similar to my navy Foulonne crossbody saddle bag. But of course the Cavalcade line has lambskin leather that’s much more luxurious—and delicate. That’s still what worries me. The large Cavalcade hobo is nice too if you’re looking for a bigger-capacity shoulder-carry bag.

Happy [emoji394] day! Crossing one more off my list. Small cuir in Khaki. The smell of new leather... [emoji172]View attachment 4195571

All excellent choices. Carry in good health, my friend!

That Bloomies has good stock. The Bloomies selection in the flagship is pretty small considering.

Since I am in this thread, I'll spread some non-news. The LC x Cloe Floirat collex is on schedule to arrive in the US stores in Nov. They are gonna focus on the dog accessories from what I have heard.

I wonder if you knew I was looking at the Fou crossbody saddle bag. [emoji12] I have the navy medium cuir but it is proving to be too big for me to use as a daily bag. Thinking to let it go and considering the Fou instead.

I like the Cavalcade line but I share the same concern as you. I observed the black WOC and smaller crossbody bag I tried on had a lot of small marks on them. I presume they are nail scratches? The SA assured me that the leather is as hardy as the cuir leather but I felt it seems more delicate and a crossbody in it meant constant rubbing on the back of the bag. Will check out the larger hobo bag when it arrives... goodness knows when. [emoji19]

Thank you Seton! I've been eyeing both of these ever since you shared them.

Great news on the LE collex. I was using Miaou today and wondering how nice if LC had doggies too. [emoji106]

Here is my new Cuir strap. I think it goes well with my Black Cuir even though it's navy. One thing that shocked me though is... I just discovered it's Made in China! All my past straps have been Made in France. Guess I wasn't paying close attention in the boutique cos I just assumed it would be Made in France. Nevertheless, it's still a lovely strap

Also, here's a 70th Anniversary cookie I got from the boutique today

 

[SmokieDragon]

I literally sighed when I read your comment, LOL! And I do believe it's a very labour intensive process, causing some production of Madeleines, Mademoiselles and Amazones to be shifted out of France!

And now production of the new Cuir strap also not in France anymore!

 

[frenziedhandbag]

Wow! It's very pretty. Looking at the stock pic, I wouldn't had known the smaller round leather bits are in pebble. It matches your black cuir and the details of the strap are so beautiful.

The cookie is such a nice gesture by LC. Love the galloping rider.

So is the Heritage WOC with its "saffiano" cowhide

YAY!!!

Thanks! Ok, I will have to touch the Pebble bits later to see if they are full leather or covering up a metal button. Will let you know. The bag is downstairs now while I'm up here typing away with glee

Congrats on your new strap! And I hope you intend on sharing that cookie with the rest of us!

Thank you. [emoji4] The short strap that I wish to get is made up of similar round leather bits. I will have preferred a plain strap but my SA assured me its a toned down look.

Enabler you. [emoji38] I shall be content with my Heritage crossbody.
Fou WOC it shall be. [emoji276]

 

[frenziedhandbag]

YAY!!!

I wish there are Shih Tzus.
