Oh my this thread is informative!! I just ordered a foulonne in cognac on eBay (new and unused from someone here in Canada for a great price!)... I hope I like it... Have never seen one in real life!!!! It seems most people posting prefer the cuir so I may have jumped the gun but perhaps this model will be the ideal work bag?!?!

Foulonne is nice too, just different than the cuirs! I like them both. Foulonne bags are more structured but still lightweight. Hope you like yours.

I have several Foulonné pieces and am very happy with them. Very sturdy and you hardly see any wear and tear on them. Waiting for my first cuir...which I expect to be much softer but also more delicate.

The mini seems quite pricey for the tiny size.
Thanks for the thought and maybe one day I will cave in provided I can get the mini in raisin, bilberry or amethyst or navy or some yummy colors :p

Wish me luck ;)

I know what you mean. It does seem small but packs a lot. I like using it as a bag in bag with my essentials within so if I need to leave my bag behind, at least my valuables are on me. When travelling, it keeps my passport close to me. But, the wallet on chain is already a very handy option so perhaps it makes more sense to snag the mini on sale. Good luck in getting a color you love. :smile1:

Well, this is the Cuir thread, so that's probably why. :laugh: The Foulonne is gorgeous; hope you love it.

Lol I didn't clue in which thread this is!! I received the foulonne and it is absolutely beautiful... Smaller than I was expecting... Almost in between the size of the 2 le pliage that I carry...this will make a great work bag foImageUploadedByPurseForum1465141219.310622.jpgr me... cuir is definitely next on my list!

Hi everyone, I'm new to PF longchamp [emoji5] usually in the LV thread. I've bought longchamps and it's great for travel. My very first longchamp cuir in small, grey colour was purchased in Paris when I was on holiday about 3-4 yrs ago and I love it! It's great for travel, leather is buttery soft. I don't baby like longchamps and my grey small cuir seasoned extremely well.

Recently I went to Barcelona and gotten the medium size in red. I actually went in with the intention to get the cross body mini for travel in replacement for my LV pochette NM but fell in love with the red colour and got the medium size for work (fits A4 documents perfectly). But this time round I felt the leather was slightly stiffer but never thought much since I was rushing for time.

I got back home and did not opened up the medium cuir till Yest night. It felt slightly sticky?? Or stiff? I thought maybe I have stored it too long (came back from my hols on June 2nd till now) and should take out and use to break the bag.

Alas, today is my first day and when I'm in the car otw to work I noticed peeling on the handles?? [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] its brand new and never been opened before till Yest night when I packed my bag.

Do u know if longchamp does exchanges though I bought the bag in other countries?

Nevertheless it's a lovely red still. True blue classic red.

I've had Longchamp le pliage cuirs for 2 years or more and haven't encountered such a problem. Leather never became sticky. Did you store in a very hot, humid place? It's very unusual for the handle to appear that way.

The leather used for the cuir has changed since it was first released. It used to be super soft and I guess more sensitive.

Maybe sticky is not the right word, it was tougher? And stiffer than my older cuir. I store it in my cupboard it its dust bags. which is away from the sun so it should be fine. My LVs, Prada and Ferragamo are stored together and nothing happened to them. Furthermore I just got back barely 2 weeks only. I'll probably bring to my local boutique and see what can be done.

I did use the mini crossbody during my trip and it's a great small convenient sling. Was very happy to see that the straps can be adjusted inside by tying knots and I used it often throughout my trip.

Nothing wrong with my crossbody cuir, I bought it on the same exact day and same shade as my medium cuir [emoji1] I even spilt soup on it during my trip and the bag wasn't damaged!
