Which one is stronger and more durable leather? Never seen either in person and trying to decide if I want the one a Nordstrom at the moment. TIA!

Well the Foulonne is stronger and more durable IMO. I've owned quite a few Foulonne bags and SLGs over the years and the leather wears like iron. At the same time, I will say that while the Cuir leather appears softer, smoother and more fragile, my two small Cuir items are holding up pretty well. Sorry if that's not much help. One thing to consider in case you haven't noticed is that the Bloomingdales Foulonne exclusive bag is smaller than the Nordies Cuir exclusive bag.

I can't post a pic because I just moved but I can tell you this is a great bag. I have 4 and it is a workhorse and great bag, LOVE it.
Here's my Black Cuir Tote with a Samorga organiser inside it. So soft and luscious!
I got mine from the sale last year. I rotate my bags so she still looks as good as new. Here are my mod shots. The Samorga is inside empty and nothing else is inside. I'm 5'1"
Thank you for sharing! Now I am getting excited about the one that I just ordered from the Nordy's sale.
Could you tell me where you purchased your luggage tag?
I also bought the black. That luggage tag is adorable, thank you for replying. I am going to order an organizer now.Excellent! What colour did you order? My luggage tag is from the Coach Disney collection last year
thanks you so much for posting these pics!!! if not for so many bags I have, I would pull the trigger......going to try to decide today as both Nordys already sold out online and my fear is it will be gone soon. I just bought from sands point shop this bag in neo nylon and the large hand held cross body in neo in large and medium, all black......so, yet another le pliage (even though leather cuir) and all the other bags I own, makes me feel guilty. On a budget and trying to think this through. never see the cuir leather in person til I went to Nordstrom rack yesterday and about tied.....they had the regular cuir handheld cross body in red leather and was stunning......for 299.00 But far prefer this one
I also had to contemplate this purchase as I have 4 LVs that I seem to wear exclusively. But, I looked in my closet and do not have one all black leather bag like this. So, I was able to justify it in my head. I also asked mysel if I would regret it if I did not buy it or if it did sell out and I said yes!
My DD was gifted the nylon one from my mother. I then bought her the change purse and pouchette for her bday from Sandspoint the other day.

well, I did it and bit the bullet on the black....noticed last night just before midnight that the black and the blue were both showing out of stock online when I tried to pay for the black one....got me so upset that I waited so long they are finally sold out! so I called the Nordstrom online support to inquire and was told, yes, likely all out if showing out of stock but the girl gave me a store number that was oddly showing 5 in stock. called this morning early as this store was located on east coast, three hours ahead of me and phoned them to inquire if in fact they have stock.....the SA told me she sees 4 showing in their inventory portal but cant locate then, then called me back stating her manager said its a glitch and there are none left...they she calls me a half hour later with ONE IN HER HAND! she found the one stashed I back stock room..."like someone was hiding it" she stated! I nabbed it.....and thankful I did get one!!!! believe it or not I found a preloved caramel color one from last year that is unused like new and thinking of getting that as well.....as it seems to be a steal!
