Just send it back if you don’t like it. If you buy online you can return anyway and you can return to store within so many days too
I could but I've also seen red, navy, two pinks, golden beige, and natural. I only want to buy one or two (and I've already decided on black) so I would rather know a bit more about the color before purchasing and possibly having one of the other colors sell out.
I personally hated the colour of khaki cuir and sent it back. Reminded me of what comes out of a babies nappy and wasn’t a pleasant colour to look at for me. Navy is lovely in real life, pebble is too and blush
I thought these photos were accurate on my creen. It's more brownish than greenish.

You can always touch up the corners with dye instead of completely trashing it. Shrug.
I **do** think the Khaki dye is unstable with this leather. I eventually got one when it was 40% off bc my SA thought it was more my "color" than the Pebble, My store had 2 in stock, both MIF and both a lot rougher in texture than any of the other colors. I have so many that these little things didnt matter to me but if u are going to use it as an everyday bag, I would steer elsewhere.
It is more brown than khaki. I really disliked it in person. Each cuir bag is different. I’ve had multiple feel like plastic, one felt buttery soft but was damaged. The corners will wear on all soft lamb/goat skin bags and other leathers. For my workhorse bags I use the nylon le pliage so I’m not so fussed about the corner wear when it happens. A similar in slough but much better quality is the bridge Unica bag. Which doesn’t get corner wear at all. Half the price, made in florence, Italy but leather artisans that know their stuff. Not mass produced like these bags.
Hi, just sharing my experience with the cuir, if you don't mind. I have had seven cuirs in the past five years or more. I had rehomed some but not because of quality issues, but either of colors or size that did not really work with my wardrobe. In fact, Longchamp is a brand that I have had zero quality issues to deal with and I reside in a tropical country with high humidity and heat (not at all kind to leather).
I do have the Khaki and it is a bit of a chameleon; brown tones more prominent indoors and gorgeous khaki under bright light or outdoors. I tried taking various pics to show the brown tones but my camera is capturing the khaki instead. The white rectangle on my pic is the brown which the bag sometimes look like. I am a khaki lover and for me, this khaki is versatile as it is not a flat khaki but of course, we all have our own preferences.
I do treat my cuir bags with Loving My Bags leather protectant before I bring it out for the first time. Then, if I feel the leather is dry, I condition it with Loving My Bag conditioner. I must share I don't find the need to moisturise my cuir bags frequently at all. I do find that the leather of certain colors feel more dry as compared to other colors, for instance Vermillion and Cherry Red. Other colors like black, navy, pebble, mocha, amethyst are fine.
I gifted my mum the Mocha cuir many years ago and she uses it daily. The bag has hardly any signs of usage. Coners are intact, no scratches whatsoever. She does not abuse it but she does not baby it either. A dark color helps too, if it is a light color like Powder, I am sure it will show wear pretty soon. No issues with my Khaki too.
I used my medium Cuir for travel and highly recommend it. It is a light bag. I do prefer to use it with a thicker strap when I travel as the weight distribution is better. But I carry a thermos flask (about 800ml) of water/umbrella/scarf at all times so that probably contributed to weight too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the great pics. Looks like a nice color! I am thinking the small size since I don't carry a ton and sometimes there are bag restiction on size at some of the more popular tourist sites we visit.
I had the exact same problem with my camel Le cuir. Even sent it back to Longchamp for a replacement (where an SA told me that the bag I received must’ve been defectively sealed), but even the new bag has problems! Such a bummer. I would also not recommend the bag
You are most welcome. The small is a great size already. In fact, my current cuirs are all small as I realised I just cannot fill my medium cuirs as a daily bag. Too big for me. I can only use the medium when I'm travelling.
Does anyone know if they will continue to make this bag in small for the spring? I bought a couple colors and am not overly happy with either so I'm hoping to see some new colors in the spring. It just seems like there are a lot of clearance colors at places such as Last Call and Saks off 5th so I didn't know if that was indicitive of no longer producing the bag.
All colors except black and blue and some reds are seasonal, so they only produce limited quantities. The ones on sale, once gone, will be gone.
