Gorgeous bag and such a nice pop of color! I was just online looking at a Voulonne Cosmetic bag in vermillion. Geezzzz....that color is so pretty!
Thanks for the compliments, cheidel. The vermillion is bright and cheerful. It looks great with a black and white outfit as a pop of color. Unfortunately, the size (medium) is bigger than I want so it's going back. If it was a small, I would be jumping for joy. I'm going to check the small size again at the store to make sure before I jump the gun again...lol
There was only one shade of light blue, released 2012 and it was called aqua but the shade was someone light sky blue. It's rare and it only came in small and large (called medium before) and a tote with long handles.
How do you know that the new ones are made from métis leather? And if it's made from lamb/goat?
It is such a relief to know that the Cuir is water resistant. Was caught in heavy downpour many times & my Cuir survived without any water mark.
wow! good to know. I still put waterstop on all my cuirs just to make sure. My first cuir got stained after one use (unsure if oil or some other liquid)

Yes, this is nice to hear. I have never been caught in heavy rain but it's bound to happen someday.
How is this métis leather made anyways? I emailed LC and they confirmed that the cuirs combine lambskin and goatskin.
I use shoe polish mink oil for leather. Seems to work fine and even heavy rain doesn't leave any water mark.
Sorry, not entirely sure but am quoting what their LC official website states.
I've actually read that one and got confused. Further research didn't give my anything LOL. BUT based on personal observation, i did notice that the previous collection had shinier, smoother (maybe even thinner) leather material which I actually prefer although I feel they are more sensitive to scratching. The new ones (starting spring 2014) had matte finish and not as smooth. I was able to see the difference in one store which had 2 camel LP cuirs with the differences I mentioned above, and also 2 reds from another store (as these colors are classic ones that recur yearly, if not every season).
For d same reason, am putting on hold d buying of d small red cuir. Been drooling over it for d longest time.
