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.

I looked at my cuir...it is the same. I don't believe it's a concern.

Thanks Cheidel and LAB! I just looked at my plum planetes and it is the same as well. Guess i am overreacting.. :p

I conditioned my noir cuir with the longchamp leather cream and a white microfiber cloth today and noticed that my white cloth turned greyish black ! Should I be worried that the dye is coming off? Or is this just excess dye? Thanks ladies ! The cream itself is quite easy to use otherwise, and it's smell is pretty nice.. A little like baby soap imo.

I can't speak for LC, but this happens to me when I condition most of my dark leather bags. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

The same thing happened when I applied protectant cream to my Cherry Red Cuir, though I used LMB products. I think its the norm for bags that are saturated in terms of colour. Perhaps, apply with a lighter hand? and I let mine take some time to dry completely.

Is the cream for protection against water? I usually spray on waterstop for that instead of any cream. But would love your input.

The LMB cream? It's to act as a barrier against stains..I don't think it repels water though. I tend to use only the LP/Neo if it's pouring and I tend to skip hand cream altogether if I am using a leather bag... so in terms of keeping handles from darkening, I cannot vouch for the cream's effectiveness, but I do wear dark jeans when I use the Cherry Red Cuir and so far, no dye transfer. I also use LMB's FHO (for handles only to protect the handles).

Hi all..

I'm new in this forum, I would like to ask do anyone notice that this season Le pliage cuir got different straps? I mean got LC logo on the links also the straps is longer.

Recently I bought Le pliage cuir black in M size and the straps is longer than my LPC navy in S size.

Hello friends,

I have had to send back two Cuirs in the past month to long champ. Both had the dye bleed out in certain spots, and both were in similar colors (camel and neutral). Has anyone else had this happen. Staff first told me that the dye was not sealed properly, but now they are saying that I must have damaged the bag (which is odd, considering that they will replace the bag..)

I personally don't have that color but I just wanted to give you moral support because that second response has got me all riled up. I am also tempted to urge you to email Longchamp? It just seem so unusual and perhaps they would appreciate getting feedback so that they can improve their dye methods/etc. (On an unrelated note, I once bought a expandable tote from Nordstrom during their Anniversary sale. I was so excited for my orders to come in and then my heart broke when I noticed a huge slash in the bag when it is expanded. At first I thought the bag got caught on itself when I zipped it back up. But it made no sense. So I inspected the plastic covering the bag was in and saw there was a slash there as well. So it must have happened in their warehouse! I don't think the associate tried to blame it on me. I even told her I made sure not to use sharp items to open the package.)
