Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir - your opinions

[toujours*chic]

Here is the blue leather tote . The color is so gorgeous. It's almost like a royal blue. And the fact that it was on sale at Nordstrom just seals the deal.View attachment 3431415

Thank you for your beautiful picture- it is nice to see the color in natural lighting. I was hesitating getting the bag because I feared it would be too light but this is a nice versatile blue. I bought the black and the natural- both of which I love. For anyone considering the natural, it is the same color as Hermes gold if you are familiar with that color. It is a nice warm neutral, but not really what I think of as "natural". I was a little concerned it would be too light but it isn't.

Here is the brown Le Pliage Cuir Handbag from Nordstrom. I love the long shoulder strap option. Very comfortable bag to carry. My Samorga LV delightful organizer is the perfect fit for this bag. The bag color is a rich chocolate brown.

Hi ladies,

I'm planning to buy an LC Cuir in crossbody but could not decide on the colour (black or cherry), can anyone please suggest?

Thank you.

Black... Cos I have a black one and find it to be very versatile and fuss free

The natural color Cuir handbag arrived this morning. I like the color. Very neutral and classic.

Ladies, does this zipper pull look weird to you? I got this today from an authorized retailer but the quality of the zipper pull looks cheap and unpolished.

I vote for black. I used to have cherry, it is the best red imho, but I think black is really fuss free and practical.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really doubt its authenticity but I haven't bought longchamp in a few years and wonder if the quality has since gone down or maybe if it's because this is made in China? I have an older LP made in France and the zipper seems to be higher quality.

I just bought a Le Pliage Cuir from the Nordstrom sale and the zipper pull does look like the plating is peeling/worn- this is a brand new bag MIF. This is my first leather LC- I am impressed with the leather and construction but not the hardware. The hardware on my nylon Le Pliage is shiny and looks better that this more expensive leather bag. I am not sure it is a deal-breaker based on what I paid but it is very disappointing.

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!

I have the pebble medium cuir. I like the bag and color, but I don't use it often as it is delicate. I don't think it's so much the color, but the soft leather. I would not wear the pebble crossbody for significant periods of time. The rubbing of the bag on your pants will cause wear and color transfer with jeans. So I vote pebble for style, and black for durability. Actually, I would get a black medium neo instead as a work bag. The neo look more upscale in black bc it's nylon. The cuir is not a workhorse bag. It's very luxurious, pretty, light, and functional, but delicate.

Black cuir owners, just wondering if you noticed your cuir became a lighter black (if there's such a color lol!) after about a year or so of use? I noticed mine has patches of iridescent purple(??) and the area that doesn't see sunlight (in the space between the zipper and the underside of the flap) appears darker than the other parts of the bag. Have attached some photos for your reference.. Wonder if this is normal?
