Navy is very versatile too. Black maybe too close to gunmetal but so is the navy. Natural is nice and u can wear that yr round too. My vote is natural then navy. I have the turquoise tote and so far do not have color transfer. But then again, its a tote so it doesn't rub against my jeans
the color navy look so vibrant in this sets of pics
I've been waiting forever for the Pliage to come in leather. AND to have a shoulder strap. When I heard it was FINALLY becoming a reality, I was over the moon! The colors are delish, especially the Cyclamen and Paprika...but then, after reading all of this thread and looking at the pics, I have come up with a few issues;
The leather is thin. When not stuffed, the larger bags don't seem to hold their shape but sag. The small is too small for my everyday needs, but the larger messenger is too big. In other words, I'd have to choose between leaving some of my stuff back (not an option), having a saggy bag (not my cuppa tea) or stuffing the large bag with _something_ to have it keep its shape.
The shoulder strap is too short. I'm a tad over 6 ft tall, busty and broad-shouldered. The bag would probably end up sitting in my underarm if I tried to carry it crossbody.
Not liking - or believing that I'm saying - this, but I think the Pliage Cuir line isn't for me, after all. I really wanted to love them, but it doesn't seem possible.

So I decided to purchase the small black. It arrived today from Nordstrom, where I also purchased my gunmetal, and it is more distressed than the gunmetal. Actually, my gunmetal is not distressed at all. The gunmetal is made in France and the black made in China. Has anyone else received a distressed small black? Thoughts?
