What?! Really? Congrats. I can't wait to see pics. I've been contemplating whether that cuir style will work better for me than the cuir tote that I bought at the nordies sale. Part of the problem is that the nordies bag was such a good deal and I simply can't get the courage to pay full retail for the small or medium cuir. Did you get a good deal?

Yes - made an auction offer that was accepted. Very excited to get! I will definitely post a "what's in it" pic to help illustrate how much it will hold. I loved that tote but knew it would be too big for everyday for me. Had trouble deciding between small and medium, so we'll see how it goes.

There are plenty of Le pliage cuirs on ebay. A medium bilberry ended recently for less than $300 (retail 555 plus tax). for me the tote is a little to big but I wanted a Nordstrom exclusive longchamp so I bought it. But I prefer the small size of the LPC. You should definitely get one with the long strap! It looks nice when handheld and the strap is just hanging :)

Glad to hear that you scored a good deal. How exciting! Looking forward to your review. I already have the black tote which is why I'm thinking of the small or medium. Sigh. Guess I'll think on it a little more.

I will post pics of how much the small holds to help you decide. I have seen it in person but never pulled the trigger. It looks like it holds a ton.

Thanks, goldfish! I'm always reluctant to venture onto "the bay," for fear of fakes and the hassle of getting things authenticated. But, maybe I'll check it out. And, I agree that the look of carrying it with the strap hanging is super cute. [emoji5]️

You can always find some kind of discount at authorized resellers, if you are patient. Keep an eye on the 'Deals' thread, or sign up for emails.

Hey EGBDF! Patience? What's that? [emoji12] I know, I know. I do check the deals thread, but I hate being patient. LOL. I'll see how long I can hold out. I own more that 100 bags, and I think that I've only paid full retail for, like, 5 of them. Honestly, I shouldn't even be thinking about buying another.

:D Oh wow! How many are Longchamps? You must have an amazing collection. I find the cuirs addictive, as well as the nylon. I'm trying to pare down my bag collection though because my tastes have changed over the years.

I only discovered Longchamp a few years ago, so I don't have "that" many. [emoji39]

I have:

Cuir tote in black (bought last year at full price (gasp!) from Bloomingdales)
Cuir tote in camel from this year's Nordies anniversary sale
LLH Statue of Liberty pliage (black with gold)
LLH pliage (graphite)
LLH planetes in black
LLH Planetes in hazelnut
MSH pliage in clay
MSH pliage in gunmetal (I'm awaiting delivery)
Roseau croc crossbody (it's pink, but I don't know the official color name)
Neo medium in black
XL pliage travel bag in black
Pliage cosmetic pouch (discontinued larger size) in fir
Pliage cosmetic pouch (discontinued larger size) in paprika
Pliage cosmetic pouch (discontinued larger size) in black
Pliage cosmetic pouch (discontinued larger size) in graphite
Pliage coin purse in Bordeaux
Metal pliage keychain/charm

I used to have the medium planetes in black, a planetes pouch with strap, and the MLH pliage in fir, but they didn't work for me.

Great collection! I'd love to see a pic sometime of the keychain.
