What size is better? Medium or large? I saw most of you posted small size pics.

Medium. It carries a lot more than you think is possible. I can fit so much in mine, as well as a light weight leather jacket. The Medium is also good if you don't transfer your things in to smaller bags for night time.

For times when you carry only your bare essentials (wallet, phone, keys, book, water-bottle), the Medium collapses really well and looks like a small drawstring bag (especially in the darker shades like black or grey). So, it looks pretty good in the Medium for night time as well.

Large is really good for travelling or work, I find - but not so much as an everyday size (and I carry a lot around with me). The Large doesn't look so great for night time, regardless of whether you carry very little or a lot.

Doubt #1: care card (found out some other posting mentioned authentic card will only has 3 folds while mine has 4)

Doubt#2: zipper - my main zipper doesn't show any YKK wording, but the inner pocket zipper has it!?

I'm no expert, but I do have 3 of the LC Cuir bags. I compared mine to your photos and everything is the same - my small one is cyclamen, so made in France, but my tote is black and made in China, so that part of the tag seems correct.

Your care card is the same as mine - your's only has 3 folds, dividing it into 4 parts. A

All the zippers, stamping, etc are exactly the same as mine - and I know mine are authentic.

HTH

I had exactly the same question about the Le Pliage Cuir I just bought so I am so happy to find that someone else had my exact same questions! Though I posted in the Authenticate this thread, I also spent several hours combing through pictures and posts here and on eBay trying to see if I could sort it out myself. I hope I finally have!

Hello,

I am new to purseforum and this is my first post!

I read through this ENTIRE thread... which has been filled with some gorgeous pictures..! I would like to ask if the Burgundy color is the same as Bordeaux (same color diff name for diff countries?) or if they are actually different??

Thanks!

Hmmm I won't consider this as a problem. In any bag brand or designer handbag you get this kind of sign of usage is natural especially for leather bags. But if it really bothers you can bring it to a bag spa or paint it yourself. Though I wont recommend it for you to paint it by yourself. Personally I love when my leather bags look worn and aged.

I just bought my Le Pliage Cuir recently and I can't wait for it to look worn and aged :) i think it give much more charecter to the bag.

I'd go for a medium over a large. It has tons of space and looks good size wise IMO the large looks too big.

Burgundy was a seasonal color from last F/W season(2012) I think. They have a burgundy like color called Billberry, much darker and more purple than red it can look almost black in dark lighting burgundy was much more red and lighter than Billberry. It's hard to determine the color when companies don't use the brands official color names, I hate it when websites do that.

thanks for yr info..
yes, i do like the worn look of a leather too, but this is worn effect of this bag is more of a white finishing, which is new to me. my other leather bag usually have a darken color or a smoother surface

Has anyone bought or seen the le pliage cuir mini crossbody bag?

After going through this thread, I was set on getting a black small - I've been on the look out for a black leather bag but left instead with this. I was afraid they would be all gone if I came back later for it. I believe the colour is platinum and it's a light metallic gold. It'll be perfect once the weather gets warm. Love it!!

I saw it today but didn't inspect it that closely. The straps seem thin but it looked like the size of a wallet.
