I use Apple Guard Rain & Stain Repellent on ALL of my leather bags. I also plan to use it on my 1899 black leather Cuir tote. I also use it on my Le Pliage nylon bags, and no stains or marks on any of my LP bags so far.View attachment 3074810
Posted this in the "Show me your LC" thread but figured I could post here as well
I'm super excited to have this baby. I love it so much! What products do you use with your LPC? Would appreciate any tips to keep the leather soft and shiny.
What about rain?
Is the LC colorless cream as stated in the care card any good?
Sorry for so many questions it's my first leather bag!

I figured out my small LPC will work well for most days, but not when I need to carry my work computer. The computer is compact so it fits, but when combined with my other daily items it's a tad too much. I'd need a medium to make it all work. However it will be great for most other days, so I will try it on Tues and take some pics. I can tell I'll like carrying it.
Yay so happy it worked out for you ! I just got mine around the same time as you did and carried it out only once but I am totally in love with it. So light but fits a ton! Can't wait to see your pictures
Thanks chiedel for offering your opinion
I think I shall go ahead and get the rain and stain repellent. Where I live it pours without warning!
Found this LC Cuir care information on WSB web site:Thanks chiedel for offering your opinion
Care: "To maintain your product, apply with a soft brush Longchamp colorless cream regularly to leather areas. This product can be protected by applying a waterproofing agent, following the recommendations given by the manufacturer." Which is why I use Apple Guard on all of my leather bags.
Camel is such a warm color! Though I can't wear browns (due to skintone), I just can't take my eyes off it!
I can't wear brown clothes, so I choose to carry brown bags instead! I can only wear cool colors.
Same here, non brown or yellow based clothings but I heart brown SLGs, small bags and nail polish!
Hi should I be worried that the underside of the handles (where the leather trimming ends and the leather flattens out so that it can be sewed onto the main body of the bag) is wrinkled? I noticed that out of four, only one is smooth and nice while the other three is pretty wrinkled and scrunched up. Attached pics for your reference...Thanks ladies 
I personally don't think it's anything to be overly concerned about, especially on the underside. It just seems like natural grains of the leather that may have happened when the actual stiching was done. But it if bothers you, then return it if possible. Is that the leather Cuir tote?
p.s. I just checked the underside of the straps on my leather Cuir tote (black), mine are like that too, but it does not bother me nor does it take away from the beauty of the bag.
