Hello,
I received the Large size my friend got from frankfurt but its really too big for me.
So I exchanged it for the long handle tote bag instead, which is the last piece available in Singapore.

I actually still prefer the Medium size with strap so I'm trying to sell this away .
Asked someone to help me buy the medium size from paris so hope she comes back with it!

Just wanna share the pics:

Hi! Can I please have the last 3 digits of the model number of your aqua please. Trying to find one, it is gorgeous! :) Thank you!!!:smile1:
 
So I just went to look at this bag, I was hoping for a black one... and I just couldn't. I get that the thin leather is supposed to be selling point because it's collapsible, but I don't see how they can justify the price when the material is that insubstantial. Plus the fact that at least the bag I looked at was made in China (all black ones are that way?).

Disappointed, I wanted a new carry-all. =\

While the leather is thin, it is actually lambskin so it's quite durable. I have the large cuir and it holds quite a bit without stressing the bag. I think the price is reasonable for the quality.

They are actually a mix of lamb/goat so can be thinner than regular cow leather (I think Balenciagas fall in this category as well).

It seems kind of a crap shoot on where your bag comes from. LC makes bags in China, Tunisia, France and probably a couple of other places as well.

I also agree this is a nicely made bag. I was sad to see the recent price increase, and glad I got one before it did, but I have the small cuir and it holds way more than I generally carry.

You're right its leather is thin but its very durable. And the price range of le pliage cuir are still far more cheaper compare to others premium or contemporary brands for something made of full lambskin (w/c is so soft and smells so good) and lined. Definitely this bag is worth every penny.
