Hi all, this is my go-to source when I first started looking at Longchamp bags. I have several Le Pliages mainly for overnight and weekend travel. Yesterday I bought the large Le Pliage Cuir in taupe, brown, chestnut brown, whatever you wanna call it :) Anywho, my strap looks like mylvoe's as well. :(
 
I see some irregular defects on the cuir le pliage bags. I got the last piece in camel in a Longchamp store in hong kong and since I was desperate, I bought it. The zipper wasn't sewn right. There was a gap at the end (a small hole where the zipper should have started). When I checked the le pliage cuirs at the airport (duty free shop), one bag has the same defect.

Also, did anyone else notice that the color of the thread differs? I was looking at the dark brown ones at the same store, and saw that the small and medium had tone on tone stitching (meaning the thread is almost the same color as the leather) while the large and XL had lighter stitching which made it stand out? I only noticed because all the dark brown ones where displayed on one column, from top to bottom, small to XL. So weird, I wish they let me take photos. I would want the stitching to be the exact same shade.
 
Has the camel color changed at all since it was released in 2012? Does anyone have a list of the colors that came out in 2012 and 2013? Do the seasonal colors change twice a year or just once? Thanks in advance :)
 
Needed retail therapy and could not make up my mind...oh well....can't wait for spring and summer :-)



Great colors! I love the yellow but felt that the leather was more delicate that the rest; seemed untreated leather? I was thinking it might get dirty easily. But it is the right shade of color. I like it better than banana or mustard yellow.:smile1:
