Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir - your opinions

[frenziedhandbag]

Thanks for the info! That is really good to know for future reference regarding any strap alterations made. Regarding the strap, it also hits me somewhere at my hip and I can't stand how it bounces with each stride I take. It's uncomfortable, interferes with my movement, and doesn't look flattering...it looks sloppy and ruins a 'put together' vibe.
Anyway, curious to know how the shorter strap works out and will be awaiting your updated post on that!

I surely hope it is just a country unique policy and not an international policy. I have the exact same thoughts. I do love my cuir but I don't quite enjoy how it bounces against me when I walk. I'll definitely update once I receive it.

No, I don't. Blackrocks is a thick, sticky, waxy paste and I just use it on the corners, and sometime overall on bags with a smooth leather.
I just use leather conditioner and cleaner on the rest of the bag. (I use Leather CPR but any good one will do. I can't remember which one Longchamp recommends and I know some brands are easier to get in different countries)

Thanks! I think LC uses their own conditioner which is actually Saphir (the LC bottle says Saphir)

Regarding the length of the straps, I also had the same problem. Bought a new LP Cuir medium and the strap was longer than my other two cuir (and they were on different bag sizes - small & medium). So I ended up using my lemon cuir strap (which is shorter) on my medium arizona and just think of it as a "personalized" version..

I didnt like the knot. I shorted the strap like that.

I don't think the bag looks too big on you. It's a great colour and it slouches so pretty. [emoji4]

Oh, such a good idea! Like a hobo, but better!

The bag looks great on you! [emoji8]

I think it works for you. Not overwhelming at all. The length of the bag looks more proportional as a shoulder bag and it is slouching ever so nicely too.

This is a clever idea and looks very neat too. Thank you for sharing.

 

[Summerfriend]

I love it!

Thank you for the lovely responses.

With the long strap it looked like a travel bag and very huge. And in this way it's like a hobo. Like you said honeybunny

 

[Claraloo]

But i think about getting this colour in the small size too. It's so cute. That's insane
