Thanks for posting this! I just got the cuir med in the blue (already have the cuir small in red coming from Bloomies!).
I also bought the small neo in beige from Nordies with the price match...
Great, please let me know how you like the size of the medium blue Cuir. Is it large inside? I am trying to decide between the large and medium Cuir in red or black. Thanks!
Oh, sorry! I should have said I had just ordered it, so I can't tell you what I think of it yet. I have the small (just arrived yesterday) and it's pretty roomy. I'll try to take a photo later of what it can hold.
Can't wait to compare it to the medium.
So I just came from a department store that sells ️longchamp. It's fortunate that this store carries even old colors for the le pliage cuir, so I can see the differences in the leather. I must say, ️longchamp uses different types even in the same exact color. I could have sworn the cherry red was softer and smoother in the ️longchamp Hong Kong stand alone store. In this department store, the red is still soft but not as soft as the first year (2012). They had all three reds (excluding marroon-bordeaux 2012): rouge, vermillon and cherry.
If you've bought your cuirs and have a preference, you should go to the store and pick out what you want from stocks.

I got my first LC bag this week~ a Le Pliage Cuir in vermillion 
I never thought I'd want to buy a LC, I never liked their nylon range. Then I started noticing their leather bags and when I saw their 2014 Amethyst color, I wanted to get one. I didn't get it earlier because I just didn't think I'd like it, I bought a Bal and a MJ instead. But I couldn't get it off my head, so finally I found one online and ordered it. However the seller said it had some defect on the zip and convinced me to take the red one instead. I was a bit hesitant but I thought I'd give this style a try (if I don't' like it, I can return it in 14 days)
So here it is, it's a true bright red. I got the medium size, it fits A4 documents perfectly~ I love how light it is~ It's almost nothing! I like how it drapes too. I didn't think a simple style like this can actually be quite flattering.

Nice, vermilion is a gorgeous color.

You will love it. It's a great light bag that's made of leather
I would like to get a Cuir some day but am wondering, since I live in Malaysia, with high humidity, can the Cuir be folded up without the leather sticking together? I've had experience with Kate Spade bags where the leather was sewn over the magnetic close and the flap stuck together to the body of the bag! 
Well still thinking of getting a Cuir towards the end of the year for my birthday. Since I have 2 Neos, thinking of getting a Medium too - then I can use back the same bag organisers and base shaper haha

cheidel I ended up having the chance to try on the medium size at Bloomies and found it too big for me. The small size is spacious enough for me (I'm 5 foot tall for reference).
I would ask yourself how do you plan to use the LP Cuir? For everyday or for travel? If you like a larger bag, I'd say the medium would be good as an everyday while the large would be good for travel.
Congrats, lovely color!I got my first LC bag this week~ a Le Pliage Cuir in vermillion

Thanks for the info, that helps a lot. I am 5'5" for reference and I like big bags, but plan to use it as an everyday bag, so the medium would probably work for me. Now to decide on the color.....

I really can't imagine the leather sticking together, I think that will only happen to PVC/PU? I have Balenciaga, MJ and Kate Spade and none of them have such problem.
You should definitely get the LP Cuir~ it's so super light~ I love it so much!

I'm only 5'3" and I think the medium size is perfect as an everyday bag. It's not too big since the corners slouch. I'm surprise at how well it holds my tablet, phone, long wallet, makeup purse, sometimes a small umbrella, a small bottle of water and other stuff like kleenex, lotion, hairbrush etc.
I think with its minimal and plain style, you should definitely get a pop color.
