LMB is very good.
I've seen the LC Saphir used on a variety of their bags and it works great. I also know that a lot of the old skool french posters on the Hermes forum prefer Saphir for their boxcalf kellys.

Agree with LMB. It had been splendid thus far but always good to have an alternative, just in case. I just read some ladies use Saphir on LV products too.

New to the Longchamp club, but officially a member now because I just purchased 2 LP Cuirs (in the same weekend!)

First came across a Medium in Black in mint condition for a pretty reasonable price, so I purchased that. The next day, I come across another preloved Medium in Sun (I've never been on to fuss about scuffs - I think they add character to a bag) at an insanely good price, so I snapped it right up after deciding that it was authentic.

Just received both of them today and I am beyond estatic. 2 perfectly good bags for half the price of a new one. Wheeee!
 
Hello everyone, torn between getting the Cuir medium in Pebble or classic Black. Anyone have the Pebble (grey) and can comment on wear and tear? Will it be high maintenance due to the lighter colour and delicate leather? Planning to use this as my everyday workbag and will be carrying laptop 1-2 days a week to work and back. Thank you for your comments!

Hello everyone, torn between getting the Cuir medium in Pebble or classic Black.

Cuirs are relatively easy to maintain but with a light colored bag, it might require more work. As a personal preference, I will go for black as I tend to baby my bags but you are the one using the bag so really buy something you love and know that you will get a lot of use out of. Sharing my own experience... I purchased a Cherry Red cuir because it is the perfect red with no orange tones and matches so well with my blue outfits which I tend to wear a lot but I find myself using it only once as I need to be extra careful with it... Thus I sold it away and bought a bilberry cuir instead. Loving my bilberry thus far and I am definitely using it more often than the Cherry Red.
 
Has anyone looked at the latest range of Le Pliage Cuir? I've been purchasing a LP Cuir since 5 or so years ago from Europe. Recently, I looked at LP Cuir in both Korea and the US, and noticed that the leather is noticeably different. It felt more like fabric and lower quality than the soft calf leather bag that I'm used to. One was at a reputable department store and the other at a standalone Longchamp shops, so I know these aren't fake... But disappointed that it's time for me to get a new LP Cuir, yet all the options had odd leather texture.

Also, I saw someone mention above the Naturel. I saw that Bloomingdales has something that looks more like camel listed as Natural, but the Natural I've purchased about 5 years ago is lighter and more like cream. Pic shown below of the Natural I have. Do you know where I can get the lighter Natural?

Thank you for that, really appreciate the thoughts. Contrary to what I thought, black seems to be more high maintenance than lighter colours. I am almost decided on the Pebble.
