What I've seen so far of the Fall 2017 advertising campaign disappoints me somewhat. Freja Beha Erichsen certainly has been a successful supermodel, but the whole look just seems reminiscent of the Alexa Chung Longchamp campaigns. I guess I was hoping for fresh, new, different...

I agree that it's so reminiscent of Alexa Chung! Maybe it's a generational thing, but I've never even heard of Freja Beha Erichsen before this! Maybe I'm too old haha. And I also don't like how that Miss Longchamp is hanging so low in the pics, especially the first one!

No worries, I'm sure I'm older than you, and while Freja looked vaguely familiar to me, I admit that I read her Wiki bio to get up to speed on her lol. :p

I agree that the Mlle/Miss Longchamp strap looks weird in that first pic. One concern I've had about the smaller version of that bag is that the long strap seems possibly too long (and too narrow in proportion to the width of the bag) and the short strap seems too short. I know the straps are adjustable, but I'm not sure how easy that is. There's just a lot going on there. It's a busy design.

Btw it does appear that the larger version of the Mlle/Miss Longchamp (below) only comes with one wider medium-length strap.

OK, I am loving this too. Fall is going to be very expensive for me.

I'm eyeing this too! Much of the Autumn collection has arrived in my local Longchamp boutique but I have yet to see this.

Managed to snap some photos of the le pliage cuir stars and Shop-It tote bag.

My first thought when I saw her was that she looks very much like Alexa.

There are so many things I love about LC bags, but the straps are probably the area that for me, could use the most improvement. Over the years, the straps are a real hit -or miss with me. Too long, too short, just right. I wish they would at least put the measurements online for the cuir handbags because those strap lengths seem to really vary from season to season. Oh, and I was looking at some old receipts and seems like the small cuir was about $435 USD a few years ago, now up to $495. Sigh.

Totally agree with you about the strap issues. Although LC has gotten better over the past few seasons about adding adjustability to straps, albeit more so for the small/medium crossbody type bags. That's one reason why I chose to buy a second Roseau crossbody. The strap is very easy to adjust to wear it as a shorter shoulder bag.

When I bought my Blue Cuir in SS15, the MIT ones had shorter straps than the MIR ones. So even the country of production within the same season matters!

Hmmmm thx maybe not for me then. Will have to think some more about which direction to go this fall. Don't know why I'm in such a hurry because it's only July! :cray:

I like the Cuir but not sure whether I need a second one. I like the softness but without the purse organiser, it puddles and I have trouble locating my things. I started saving pictures of the items I want, on the very same day the collection launched and thought to myself "Oh no, I totally lost my self control this season". [emoji33]
