What is the name of the purple/navy crossbody called? What is the closure type and is the strap adjustable? I am newer to the brand so I apologize but those are GORGEOUS.

ETA: I found it. That's what I get for starting at the end...

Just wanted to add on a little to what @Cosmopolitan has written. The Penelope Soft is also on the smaller side shape-wise because of the way the sides are cinched at an angle vs regular rectangular sides. As for adjusting the strap, yes, it can be difficult to do as I have learned with other bags having a similar design. I also find it odd that the long leather strap is attached to the bag via a leather loop and wonder how this connection will fare over time - will it sag/stretch? Just some things to think about. It is gorgeous though!

I thought that connection was really elegant but that definitely makes me think "not a long term bag"...

Nice pic! :tup: The bag is called the Madeleine and it's made of bullhide. Lots of other pics of it in this thread. I posted the below WWD slideshow in March in which LC creative director Sophie Delafontaine says it's shaped like a house lol. I just wish the bag didn't have that pocket on the front.

The instagram pic is a touch more flattering than WWD's. I had no problems with the front pocket until I saw the latter pic, lol. :amuse:

Haha I think they are purposely downplaying that awkward pocket!
Ah, who knows? I may like it even more after seeing it in person. :biggrin:
I'm torn about Longchamp sometimes. On the one hand, they do beautiful things. On the other hand, I feel like they have problems editing their designs. That saying about taking one thing off before you leave the house holds true for design as well.

I understand what you're saying. Some of the bags have too much going on for my taste--multi-colors, color blocking, wild prints, tassels, suede, etc. Particularly the "runway" type bags revealed early each season. But then when the bulk of each collection comes out there are always some cleaner, simpler styles that work for me, like the Roseau, 3D, Foulonne, Quadri lines for instance. And these are usually quite well made and at reasonable price points.
