Ruelala has some Cuirs on sale, but I hesitate to even look. I’ve read before in various forums/reviews that Ruelala have sold fakes. Don’t want to risk it and waste my time.

Anyone bought their Cuir from Ruelala? Thoughts?

Thanks!

Cuir owners, help me out. I'm thinking of going from medium to small...
I have a medium in, I think, red lacquer? Anyway, it's a great bag, but it's big. I'm thinking of a small cuir - for those that have both, does it really feel smaller? I know that's super subjective. I've looked at the stats, but volume is hard to estimate. I've heard it's similar to the small long-handled nylon in what it holds.
The medium is so big, I've packed for an overnight trip on it!

I wouldn't say the Small feels smaller - it feels like everything is closer together within the bag instead of so much space in between items in a Medium. The Small is somewhat similar to what the Small long-handled nylon holds.

I have more Smalls than Mediums because I find that the Small fits my day-to-day needs. I started off with 2 Medium Cuirs before buying my first Small because the Cuir is so smooshy that even when it's a Medium, it doesn't look too big and yet it offers the flexibility of more space. Now with my 2 Mediums, 4 Smalls, 1 Large long-handled Cuir and 1 Mini Cuir, I feel like I have enough flexibility with space that these Cuirs offer :D

I would definitely try a small cuir. I have a medium and a small, and I use the small more. The small fits a lot, but it’s not as saggy and bottomless as the medium. It’s also cuter and easier to get to your stuff. The medium functions like a large tote. I didn’t use the medium much bc I didn’t want to deal with all that lambskin on daily errands. My small cuir leather is not as soft as my medium cuir, so it seemed less luxurious, but more durable and carefree. I know it will soften over time, and it still had a great smell, so I didn’t get too upset about the leather difference. The small is great for travel, daily use, and looks cuter/dressier. The medium is great if you need a tote, but you don’t want the look of a tote.

Thanks! That helps. I think I feel the same way about the medium.
I didn't realize the leather was different for smalls though... It's not just because it's a different color?
