Woww, so gorgeous!! Other colors are pretty too, but i prefer black for travel. Really want it even moree now. Thank you for sharing!
I have a Speedy B 35. Would that be comparable to the Cuir in Medium, then?
Is the Large Cuir the same as the Large in the regular Le Pliage?
Thank you!

Depend which style in Le Pliage against Large Cuir
I have large cuir against large le pliage with long handle strap
a bit similar only cuir a tiny bit bigger due 'boat shape' just wait other chimes in
The size for the Le Pliage Cuir medium to LV speedy 35 are similar.
However the cuir medium is bigger than speedy 35 due the cuir has 'boat' shape (both sides) so slouch more like speedy 35, the difference is that cuir able carrying over shoulder from its handles if you have small frame shoulder whereas speedy 35 a bit structure and need long strap to carrying over shoulder.
See below pic are for reference between LV Speedy 25 and Le Pliage Cuir small size.

You're very welcome, and thank you! I actually had to decide between the black and the indigo, which is a pretty blue. But black is actually be more practical for me.Woww, so gorgeous!! Other colors are pretty too, but i prefer black for travel. Really want it even moree now. Thank you for sharing!
Btw, the leather is gorgeous!The Speedy 35 dimensions in inches are 13.8 long x 9.0 tall x 7.0 wide, the medium Cuir 12.5 long x 11 tall x 6.75 wide. So, the size is very close if that helps. The Cuir might appear larger because of the leather and the actual shape of the bag especially since it's 2 inches taller than the Speedy 35. However, my leather Cuir Le Pliage Tote, is very close in size to my large nylon Le Pliage.

definitely prone to color loss and wear in patches! Although I did not treat mine with a leather conditioner regretfully. I would not buy again based on my experience. Or just put $$ towards monogram LV. They seem to be able to take a beating more gracefully. :/

I have quite the assortment from the cuir line and haven't had any issues, other than my older one w/some corner wear that I mentioned earlier, but that one has gotten the most use. I know LV has it's own quality issues, and a cuir vs monogram LV are so different, in material and price! Bottom line-buy what you love!
I don't think I replied correctly earlier.
Thank you very much for the information. [emoji3]

LV monogram is coated canvas so definitely it will be more durable. I have one but I haven't used as I don't like it anymore. Plus I am not sure I will still be happy when the handles darken after some time.
I don't mind the wear. It does with the material-- the cuir is super soft. same with silk-- feels more luxurious but harder to maintain.
