Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir - your opinions

[Esquared72]

Hey girl!! Thanks very much. Did you buy the organizer from Ebay? Your previous pics helped push me over the edge to make this LPC purchase.

Hi! [emoji2] I bought mine from Purse Bling, through Amazon.

I absolutely love my Cuir. I use it both with or without the organizer, depending on my mood. The bag looks awesome either way. I hope you find the organizer helps give you a bit more structure and you keep yours...the Natural color is so classic and yummy looking!! [emoji173]️

Here's my new bag; the natural in medium size. She's growing on me.

Thanks for posting could you post some more pics? I'm really itching for a tan/light brown bag. The camel color always looked good in pictures online but IRL it was really orange undertone IMO. Dose natural have that? I wish I had a store near me that carries the new colors. The only stores by me that carry the cuir have a very limited selection and almost never any of the new colors only the classic colors.

Here you go. To my eye, it does have a slight orange undertone, but it's gorgeous. This is in incandescent light in my kitchen...

And this is totally natural light from a window...

Thanks for the pic. I hate buying bags and not being able to see them IRL first especially when I'm not sure about the color.

It is hard, plus most computer monitors display color differently. I had a pretty good idea of the color from looking at other people's pics.

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.

I use a Bag in Bag organiser that my friend helped me order online but I think they may not have it in your country.

Here are 2 pics of my Medium Mocha Cuir without the organiser:


Here are 2 pics with the organiser:

I use a purse to go organizer in my large cuir. I like the organization and I love the way a handheld bag looks with sag at the bottom. Sorry these aren't a great pics, trying to sneak them at the office

I got the email from Sandspoint this morning. I should have known the sales would hit as soon as I bought my bag. 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%!

Well, What She Buys said "NO" to the price match, so I have returned the Cuir to them and will reorder from Sandspoint. Since the savings is $135, I would be foolish not to take advantage of the sale.

Thanks for the photos. Your mocha Cuir is STUNNING.

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.

I have the medium in Cherry, and I use a purse organizer which adds structure, and I use a light weight magazine as a base shaper which works perfect!!! I have several base shapers and organizers of different sizes, but the base shaper was not flexible in this bag, and I chose not to use it. I wasn't sure how I liked the medium Cuir when I first got it, but after carrying it a few more times, I truly fell in love with it!!!!! I like being able to fold it in my luggage when I travel, and the interior lining is pretty to me. I plan to purchase the large Cuir when I find a good sale. Btw, I got my organizers from pursebling.com and the one I use in my Cuir is the Jumbo size. The organizer and the magazine do add noticeable weight to the bag.

Thanks, I appreciate everyone's help. I'm waiting on my replacement bag to come from Sandspoint. I hope they will ship fast!!

I think I may have a random purse organizer somewhere in the depths of my closet, so I may try that one when my new bag arrives.

Oh...and I looooooove that cherry!! I was eyeing it on Bloomingdale's website.

Here you go.

Stunning Cuirs! I need to get my Cherry Red Cuir out... as soon as the weather improves.

I have a medium cuir and love how lightweight it is. If you decided to keep the bag, you can get the strap shortened at a cobbler
