They just look wrong to me and don't follow the concept and ethos of the pliage; reasonably priced, lightweight, sturdy, reliable, neat, versatile bags, priced at such level that you can get a couple in different sizes and colours to suit different occasions and uses. Looked at the leather ones on sale in Selfridges a few days ago - no matter how cheap, I am not interested. Curious that the original versions were not on sale......


I guess each of us really has different. Taste. I have a group of friends who like the same clothes and bags but am the only one who is fond of le pliage. I love the simplicity of the design, it's being lightweight, and the slouch. I didn't care for the brand 6 years ago.
 
Im looking to buy a custom long champ cuir but the CAMEL colour on the website seems lighter than what I've seen from online photos in real light?


Photos from the longchamp website definitely are not accurate. Best to check them out in person and if they are not available in your area, browse on ebay and on forums :)
 
Neiman Marcus put 5 pliage cuir bags from their store inventories on their website the other day for $220! They had a camel and a black cuir small for $220, and for whatever reason, also listed separately at full price. I missed out on the sale posting, but messaged their customer service. Now my new small pliage cuir in black should be coming next week after having only paid 45% of retail!
 
Hi all.. I have a lemon yellow cuir and it got some bluish color transferred from my jeans. Any suggestion on how to clean it up? I tried a baby wipes and it managed to make it a little better, but there still some stains left. TIA

Maybe try a leather cleaner..I use Leather CPR Cleaner and Conditioner. I had some transfer onto my cuir handle and it took it off. I let it sit on the leather for a few minutes before wiping off. I'm not sure if it would work on the bag but I've used Leather CPR on the cuir leather and haven't had any problems.
 
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my natural le pliage cuir in medium which i love oh so dearly. If you're thinking of buying one, go for it. The feel of the leather is amazeballs. Confused about the difference of natural and camel though..anybody got a reference photo?

Beautiful! It looks like natural may have some pinkish undertones while camel has more yellowish undertones. Just speculating as I haven't seen the two side by side. Regardless... That's a gorgeous bag! :D
