I bought this today. It's the fuscia. $100 off. Got it for $425. I wouldn't have bought it if it was full price plus I don't usually like leather bags. I called the Longchamp store in Boston for advice on leather care for this bag. She recommended using a leather conditioner on it and rain repellant. I told her I use apple leather products on my Louis Vuittons and she said that should be ok, just test it in an inconspicuous spot. Which I did and it's fine.

Thank you. This is the best color. I would grab it while you can. I got the last one.Ohhh wow, it's beautiful! I'm more and more tempted. Congrats!
I took the plunge again with Bilberry this time. At first I was slightly disappointed by the color but it's growing on me now. I guess the best I can describe it is a eggplant purple. Indoors under artifical lighting it looks almost nearly black/burgundy/deep plum. However in natural lighting or flash you can see a more true (yet dark) purple.
Indoors no flash so you can see how dark it looks
Here is the same pic with flash
Heres a indoor pic in my bath to show the color against a light background
And here's a in the sun shot
I think the reason why it initially disappointed me was because honestly it really looked almost black. It also has a wrinkle in the front which is caused by being folded up. I tried the le pliage last year in both small & medium and returned both but the small also had the weird wrinkle in the front. I wonder if the size has anything to do with the wrinkle or if it was simply just the way they were both folded that caused it. I'm going to sit on it for a week and see how I feel about it. I love dark purples & burgundys, but maybe this one is just a tad too dark for my tastes.

Another pic of my Bilberry. I was really on the fence on this one. Initially I was slightly disapointed by the color but I couldn't bring myself to return it. I laid it out and looked at it for about a week and a half. The more I looked at it the more I liked the color it reminded me of Bbag colors because of the chameleon color, it changed depending on the lighting. I also think a part of the initial disappointment was because it's so different than what I normally use, a bit more plain, smooth leather with no texture, and no major hardware/studs. I used it on my vacay and am really glad I kept it, the small is the perfect size for my needs.
