Here's some more modelling pics. For reference, I'm a little under 5ft 4" and yes I would prefer the long strap to be about 1-2inches longer, but it is wearable as is. I've just got to get used to it being a little shorter than I'm normally used to.

I promise thats it now!

I really love how it looks on you and it drapes across your body so snugly (definitely great!). IMHO, the strap length is just right for you as with things inside the bag, it might slouch a little downwards. I honestly think it looks PERFECT on you! Looking forward to seeing you post in the "What's in your bag" thread! I had a chance to see this lovely bag in person and I personally think the space is generous! :graucho:
 
Seeing this now, i am not quite sure why I switched to the medium! The size is perfect for you. How much stuff is in it? I am a mom who is never apart from her toddler so I lug so much stuff that when I put them in the small i felt like it looked too stuffed? I am just 5 ft tall..
 
It looks great on you! Enjoy your trip!
Thank you, I certainly hope so.

Thanks for your lovely comments. I am happy with the strap length, its just taken me a little while to get used it. I do however think it will be the perfect length for sightseeing and strolling around Florence. It also feels more secure having the zipper where it is, if that makes sense. I think I'd be aware if someone was trying to fiddle with it. I don't know what Florence is like for pick pockets and suchlike, but as its a city, I'll err on the side of caution. I'll try to remember to post a pic in the "what's in your bag" thread once I've used it properly.

Thank you goldfish, I do prefer smaller bags and can fit everything I need in a Speedy 25, ( I don't like carrying too much stuff and I don't like a bag to look half empty) just find it a bit tricky getting things in and out sometimes with the small opening. However the small Le Pliage Cuir is actually a bit bigger than the Speedy 25 and the opening is much bigger, very useful, I love it. I do however think that you probably made the right decision to go with a medium as you have a toddler. I don't, so I don't have to lug too much stuff with me. When I took the pictures I had an umbrella, sunglasses case, purse and a few other things in it, so it wasn't particularly overloaded. I can get a pashmina/cardigan or raincoat, camera and phone and probably a water bottle too in it quite comfortably. So it does hold a lot but probably be a tight squeeze to fit all the things you need with a small child. Hope that helps. Maybe one day when you don't need to carry so much you can get a small one. :smile1:

I got this one in bilberry. Not sure if I'm going to keep or return.

I love this colour. Its such a fab neutral.
 
Hi all, can anyone tell me when the new medium size with the crossbody strap was released? I absolutely am in love with the colour fir from a past season but it seems it is only available in small or large. I'm 5'6" and feel like the small size is a little small on my frame
 
Hilaryljh (sorry i don't know how to quote you using my phone) but I can confirm the color FIR was released fall/winter 2012. I THINK medium size became available spring summer 2013. Hope this helps!

I emailed longchamp asking if there will be new colors for the le pliage cuir this fall/winter but have not gotten a reply yet. But please look at my reply above :smile1:

Ah, that's what I thought too. Do you think the small would look ok on my frame or should I just wait for the new season's colours? There's a small cuir on ebay that's quite reasonably priced and the auction ends tonight. Dilemma! :confused:

I saw that, too! Hmm I can't answer that for you lol. I am looking for the light blue color which was released spring 2012 and only came in small and large. I would totally get either size as I have to wait for 2015 for pastel colors to be produced! But yours is just only a few months away so you might have a chance at a medium green. I prefer medium, honestly. It still has the slouch when you have so much stuff in. Depends on your lifestyle, really! Good luck!
 
hi. does anyone seen a royal blue longchamp cuir? ive been eyeing that in some ebay seller but i cant seem to see it in longchamp official site.. so im confused if there's really an authentic royal blue shade for le pliage cuir line..

There isn't a royal blue. I know there was an light blue (called aqua) and dark blue (indigo) but not bright royal blue. HTH!
