I would say I use them equally. Red is almost like a fun neutral to me. It goes w most of my wardrobe. And, as I think someone said earlier, the red on this bag is *really* nice. Not too bright, not too dark ... Just a really true beautiful red. I love it!

Sorry! I'm no help. If anything, I'm more of an enabler!

So I went into Nordstrom today to get the black Cuir . . . but somehow walked out with Natural (pictured here with my small navy Neo in the background, mmmm).

I think I need to go back and exchange it for the black as originally planned. I already have a vintage LV crossbody with a vachetta strap the same color as this bag, and I'm afraid that this bag would make my LV obsolete before I've even had a chance to really enjoy it. Furthermore, color transfer. FURTHERMORE, it just doesn't go as well with my wardrobe (although it's not like it clashes - it's a really easy warm neutral).

The problem I'm having? This bag is just so scrumptious! Somehow this color feels more special than the black; the black almost felt like a gym bag to me when I tried it on. This natural color is pure Katherine Hepburn in Out of Africa gorgeousness. Also - I DO have a large Le Pliage tote in black, as well as a black Balenciaga City (which is not crossbody, and not great for travel, but . . . it IS black).

Any advice for me? What would you do - keep or exchange? View attachment 3442174View attachment 3442176View attachment 3442177

I have this exact bag and I LOVE IT. I know what you mean about it being special. The color is really gorgeous and the leather is fantastic. I also considered black, and while it is lovely, I get so many comments on this bag. It's hard to change out of it once I start carrying it.

I'm so glad to hear this! I am so glad I went with this color, and I haven't regretted it a bit. It's not every day that you find such a perfect buttery caramel! I thought i would go back and get the black too, at some point, but I honestly haven't felt the need. Although if they bring Bilberry back . . . :nuts:

Thoughts on the latest Cody? It's a Bloomie's exclusive - just got the email!

I love that it's full leather, instead of leather and suede like the other Codys, but I'm not one for understated bag colors. If they release it in brighter tones…I don't think I'll be able to resist (; Love the tassel on the zip and I love the zig zag stitching though…give us more color, Longchamp!

I have the blue/black one and I love the zig zag woven detail. For myself, I prefer the more subtle color blocking (and the blue is more navy) but this could look fun with some brighter colors. I'm not thrilled with how the tassel pull hangs but I haven't even used the bag yet.

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. View attachment 3436953View attachment 3436954View attachment 3436955View attachment 3436956View attachment 3436957

I had a Cuir Le Pliage custom built for me at the factory. All the tags of course state Made in France. My zipper pull looks exactly like yours. I think LC's supplier is just being sloppy and LC isn't concerned about it. I would have hoped for it to be "shiny perfect" for such an expensive bag, but whatever. I don't even notice it anymore.

Hi ladies, can i check the length of the strap of medium cuir bag? Is it the same as the small nylon neo?

I have both and the strap of the small Neo is about 3 inches longer.

Keep in mind though that LC Neo (and apparently Cuir) strap lengths don't seem to be very standardized. I have owned four small Neos, for instance, and the strap lengths have varied by several inches depending on the country of origin, made in France, made in China, Tunisia, Romania whatever. It's unfortunate but other members have pointed this issue out too. You never really know what strap length you'll get if you order online.
