Thank u for the info. Hopefully one day I could see it irl. Too bad to get the cuir model I mostly need to find it online. 😔
Ugh, yes! And longchamp has not been very responsive (or honest about it). I had color wear on the FRONT of my brand new camel bag, after only a couple uses. Longchamp blamed me...said I must have scratched it!!
Actually it's just a matter of personal preference. I don't mind at all as such goes with owning a very soft lamb skin bag. The corners are very pointy and unlike for example, balenciaga, there isn't any reinforcement or corner piping that will make the bag less sensitive to wear. The minimal design will have to change if you want something more durable. And that won't be le pliage anymore. Sometimes I hate that I have to take care of them - I have more light colors than dark- but i just think that if I wanted a leather bag that I can put down on the floor or carry even when I'm in jeans, then I use something else.
Mansure Gavriel is another bag that I'm interested in but I think it's more high maintenance! It scratches easily and no matter what you do, the color will change over time! Not sure I'm ready for such a bag.
Are these large totes in all-leather (cuir line) no longer available? i only see short handles with cross body straps in store in Singapore. Would have loved to get the leather with long shoulder straps since I prefer wearing them that wayHello,
I received the Large size my friend got from frankfurt but its really too big for me.
So I exchanged it for the long handle tote bag instead, which is the last piece available in Singapore.
I actually still prefer the Medium size with strap so I'm trying to sell this away .
Asked someone to help me buy the medium size from paris so hope she comes back with it!
Just wanna share the pics:
Nordstrom released 3 colors last year but they are now sold out. You can wait for the next release or maybe stalk eBay for it.
These are rear. They originally made them then discontinued the style and only made the other style cuir bag. Like the other poster said they did do a LE release of this style again exclusively with Nordies(specifically during thier anniversary sale in july) and it sold out fast. I grabbed two one in black and one in a camel color, ended up returning both. I didn't like the color of camel it was too orangey for me and while I did like the black I couldn't really justify it since I have a million black bags.

Ah ok, thank you. I am most likely going with the small cuir bag because the medium seems too slouchy to me. Need to check out IRL
If the medium cuir is too big this tote will be too huge for you. I feel like it was larger than the medium nylon tote but smaller than the large nylon totes. I have the small cuir and while it looks small it holds a ton. Also the leather tote would probably become very slouchy looking I'm because the bag doesn't have any real structure too it. The older ones the leather was much thinner and softer then what they are currently using for the cuir bags, imo.
Yes I think so too. I own the large nylon Le Pliage and love it. It's perfect for traveling and also for work when I am carrying my laptop (Macbook Air 13") but I find it slouches too much IMO when it's less full. I am assuming the leather one will slouch even more.
I do wish they had the same long shoulder handles in various sizes with the cuir. Not a fan of carrying heavy bags/laptop cross-body because large u-know-what

Have you looked at Le Foulonne tote? It's more structured but still lightweight and has long handles. Not sure if you're looking for something larger though.
All the cuir handbags are puddly, no structure.
Seems so. Not a fan of the Le Foulenne for some reason. And yes, the size is very in-between so not large enough to carry my laptop but not small enough to be a weekend crossbody.
i am going to check out the Cuir range in-store and most likely pick one out this weekend.
Thanks everyone!
What would be the best way to store an LP Cuir? Store it flat and not completely folded? Or stuffed? I have one of those pillow stuffers sold locally. I don't use my lp cuir that often and would like to prevent those creases/folds. Either way, planning to store my bag in large dust bags as I have spare at home. Appreciate your advise cuir lovers! 
Saw these guys today the leather was good. I like the pinks but they don't really suit my style. I was disappointed by the color in back which I believe is the new color natural, I've been wanting a nice tan bag and the color they had before camel was too orangey this color is too pinkish.
