The strap for my medium is 36 inches in length. It is comfortable for crossbody. I find it too long for carrying on one shoulder as I am 5"2 so I shortened the strap by tying 2 knots at the end of each side (as suggested by a TPFer in one of the posts).
I need your advice. I have a small gunmetal pliage cuir that I am loving and want to purchase a second one in the small size but cannot decide on the color. I am deciding between:
Black
Navy
Natural
I have nothing in my purse wardrobe in Navy or Natural. I am concerned the Navy is too close to the gunmetal in terms of what to wear it with, but I love the Navy color. I have nothing in my purse wardrobe like the Natural but I am concerned it is mostly a spring/summer color and might be too light for year round. It also might get dirty faster. For some reason I never gravitate towards beiges in bags, but I know it is a great neutral. And then there is black, which goes with everything, but so does gunmetal.
Help! Please give me your advice, if you already own gunmetal, what would be your second choice? Black, Navy or Natural?

I would choose a Black. Like you, I seldom gravitate towards a beige coloured bag. Simply cause I don't baby my bags and tend to throw then around even on the floor. My preference would be Navy if you had not gotten the Gunmetal as it is already something non-black. Just my opinion coz I'm sure you may have already made up your mind on which colour you want. Anyway, whichever colour you get would not be a 'wrong' choice. Good luck!
purplera1n Thanks, it's funny because at the moment I am leaning towards the black. I appreciate your input! Still deciding if anyone else wants to offer an opinion.
It really depends on so many factors - what other bags you have and in what colours, utility, personal preferences etc. But here's my thoughts:
I love natural but I think you are right about the wear. I had a lovely beige bag years ago. I spent a lot of time cleaning it and in the end got fed up with it and got rid of it much sooner than I do with dark bags. I was inclined to get a le pliage in the natural, thought about that once loved bag and got bilberry instead.
As for the navy & black, I would probably also lean towards black. It's so versatile and IMO you can never have too much black. 😄 However, this is where your other bags come into play. If you have other black bags in the tote or shoulder style, I would probably think about the navy to give you more variety. No matter what, I'm sure it will be a beautiful bag.

I have been thinking to buy the nylon Le Pliage but prefer to have a strap since have small children. So when I spot the Cuir in Taipei duty free shop just couldn't resist. It was =~ USD $533.
Love the Sun and Paprika but afraid hard to match clothes. Need a black bag but SA shows me two of them and the leather all look too distressed. So I chose the Navy. Believe it should go with everything too.

Now I'm waiting for my small black to arrive. Thanks to my friend who introduced me to cuir style. I really love it! Very practical bag.
Is the color true? Or darker? In the 1st 2 pics it looks almost like black
i only see in the 3rd pic faint navy tone on interior leather trim
