I have another question. Can anyone explain the difference between beige and golden beige? Saks off 5th have them both on sale but the pics look exactly the same online.

Hi everyone! I recently bought a le pliage Cuir crossbody in color blue (pilot) with a discount.
I really like this bag (shape, look, softness) but I'm wondering how it's gonna hold up and look after a few months/years of use.
I know that this type of leather is prone to marks, i worry about color transfer and rain stains also since it's not waterproof. I'm on the lookout for a crossbody bag that's holding up good through years and one i don't have to worry about.
I still haven't used the bag and can return it for free, so if you have this le pliage cuir crossbody for a while, can you please tell me about its actual condition ? Is it aging well ? and do you think it is worth keeping ? I'm also a little disappointed bc the bag is made in china.
Thank you so much in advance !!!

I don't own one but have thought about buying one, I remember seeing this video, maybe it will help you:
Hello, Thank you i saw that video too and the lady seems so thrilled by the bag it's so cute! But she said that she just bought it so no wear and tear...
My corners have worn a bit but otherwise looking good for two years! I do think if you want a bag to look like new, you should go for a stamped leather bag, like saffiano.
I love that girl’s videos, her joyful attitude about bags is highly entertaining. She updates her opinions at least once or twice a year, kind of gives updates; (or at least when I was watching YouTube regularly) you might check her other videos to see if she’s done a more recent check-in with that one.
Ah sorry! I also remembered Joshie Michael talks about the crossbody on his YouTube channel...he mentions a bit particularly on this video, at around the 24 min mark:
Hi, I have this bag in black and had used it a lot for many years now. Quick errands, kiddy outings, travels and even as a bag in bag during recent travels to house my essentials all in one place.
Your concerns about color transfer/stains are valid as Pilot is a lighter color. Perhaps you wish to consider using a leather protectant? I use Loving My Bag products. I know a lot of ladies here also use Apple Guard Rain and Stain Repellant. I use the latter on my nylon LePliages instead. As the strap length is adjustable from the inside, maybe you can adjust the bag to hang higher up so that it does not rub against dark colored clothing? In terms of leather wear, I have had excellent experience with mine and seen no corner wear. Rest assured that Longchamp quality is consistent regardless of where the bag is made. For what it is worth, I have a small cuir in Pebble and there is no wear/color transfer/stains on it. I do avoid wearing the bag crossbody if I am wearing dark jeans and prefer using a short LC strap with it though.
If you feel more comfortable with a darker color, perhaps you can check other retailers for discounts. Otherwise, may I also suggest the Foulonne line. This line wears like iron. Hope this helps.
How long do you have the bag? Thanks i'm not a fan of saffiano leather.
I watched many of her videos, she shows her longchamp cuir crossbody in her updated 2017 bag collection but doesn't go in details. Altough, she appears to have many bags to alternate with so hers doesn't look damaged.
He has quite an impressive collection, does he even wears them? Lots of Cuir limited edition, i'm so jealous haha !

Thanks for your products advices but I live in France and I don't think the brands you mentionned exists here but i'm gonna look what i can find.
I wear mostly jeans and sometimes dark coats that's why i'm a little worried about color transfer. I'm 5'8" so i'd like to keep the strap at full length and I would enjoy a black one but they are never discounted here since it's a color Longchamp sells all year round (but maybe preloved?). I was at a Longchamp store today and it seems that only limited edition bags are made in France. I have a Longchamp Pliage Miaou and it's indeed made in France.
I looked up the Foulonné line but nothing caught my eye except for the SLGs ! Thank you anyway

Ah, I see. Indeed, black is a classic color that does not go on sale. I hope you find something that suits your needs. Best of luck!

I watched her vids for yrs and she will do request videos. She is also a member here but does not come by often.
No, he doesn't.
