Beautiful color! The more I see this color, the more I want one.
Thanks for your help; I did obsess over "small or medium???" for the longest time. I prefer to carry a larger looking bag, even though I don't carry a lot of stuff in it. I decided that the way the bag slouches will make a small appear even smaller, if that makes sense.
I will take a look at the quadris; thanks for the recommendation. One major factor that drew me to the Cuir is that I love the casual vibe of the purse.
Have a great weekend!
I'm late to the party as usual, but purchased my first LC this week. I chose the Le Pliage Cuir in the natural color in medium. I was psyched by all the gorgeous photos in this thread and really excited to try the brand. Well, I got it yesterday and frankly I'm a little disappointed. I knew the leather was going to be thin and soft, but my bag is a puddly mess.
I don't carry much in my bag, so it hangs with the saddest look. I'm sure the packing "wrinkles" will smooth out eventually, but will I ever really bond with this bag? Did anyone else feel a little let down when you got your first Cuir?
I wonder if a base shaper or organizer will help, but I don't want to add weight to the bag. One big plus for me is the light weight. Oh, and I'm a shortie so the shoulder strap that can't be adjusted is another annoyance. I wonder if this bag is just not meant for me.
For a Small, however, base shaper is the way to go, IMHO.
Here's my new bag; the natural in medium size. She's growing on me.
I have tried a base shaper and an organiser and personally prefer an organiser for the Medium as it gives the bag fullness and shape to nearly the top. Whereas if you put just a base shaper, if you have very few things, the bag will still tilt and kind of fold in on itself in the Medium size. Organiser is the way to go for the Medium size
I'm also a shortie at 5'1" and had to try on a few Blue Cuirs before I found one with a slightly shorter strap which wouldn't require alteration - still it's a tad too long but I can live with it rather than asking the LC boutique to shorten it by 2-3 inches.
I have tried the Quadri too, both the small size and discontinued larger size and if you prefer more structure, the Small Quadri seems to keep its shape excellently like a structured bag but the larger size is too slouchy, I find. Still, Quadri is also a good line
Thanks for your comments. Is there a particular organizer that works well in the medium LPC? Would you happen to have pics of your bag with the organizer in it?
The strap is annoying but I mostly hand carry, so I will just have to be mindful and not let the strap drag on the ground!
I looked at the Quadri online but I prefer the style of the LPC.
Thanks very much. Did you buy the organizer from Ebay? Your previous pics helped push me over the edge to make this LPC purchase. I wonder if What She Buys will price match Sandspoint. I just got my bag on Friday, so I would return and rebuy to save 25%!I got the email from Sandspoint this morning. I should have known the sales would hit as soon as I bought my bag.
