I came across Pilot Blue cuir crossbody whilst browsing and realised it is not so light a color after all. Anyway, should you like khaki, it is also on sale via this French website.

Thank you i just ordered the khaki one, it should be arriving next week. I was drawn to the pilot blue originally but I'm gonna see how that khaki is looking in person.
That's wonderful. I hope you like it as much as I do. I am finding mine pretty versatile, pairing well with blacks/whites/blues/greens in my wardrobe. Worry free color too.
Did you treat the bag with water repellent ?
I will give an update when I receive it (fingers crossed for a MIF one!!).
Yes, I did. A very thin layer of leather protectant. I live in Singapore where it is very humid and rains a lot too. The cuir leather is actually not as delicate as it seems, despite being lambskin. I've been caught in the rain at times but a quick wipe down does the job and the bag does not get water stains. Singapore is crowded and I've had people bump into me and there are no scratches to the bag as well.
I look forward to your update and really hope you like the color. Longchamp does not do that many green bags and I've waited a long time for a green that is wearable.
I just went to check mine and it is MIF. I hope yours is MIF too. Crossing my fingers for you. [emoji172]
Thank you for your detailed answer, that's sweet of you
you're lucky to have a mif one! Glad you enjoy it and i'm impatient to receive my khaki and give an update here!!
My pleasure to share. Truth be told, I hardly check the country of origin for all my LC bags as they really don't vary in terms of quality. All excellent [emoji5] However, I do understand your preference for a MIF. The waiting is always the toughest but you're not alone as we are all waiting alongside with you. [emoji6]
Like you said and according to Longchamp, the quality remains the same nevermind the manufacturing country but still.... i live in France in addition so i'm even more frustrated that a "local" brand sends me a purse MIC.
Aww, you're so kind !
) I should have bought the bag at the Longchamp store I was in last wednesday, the price was also discounted.
I throughly understand. It is only befitting that you prefer a MIF since you reside in France.
I'm in the same shoes. I was at Barcelona last week and visited the LC boutique. Tried on a style that was unavailable in my country. I was taking my time to consider it but my husband whisked me out of the store. I missed the boat and now fervently trying to hunt down this discontinuing style.
Hope u find it. Lmk and I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
Haha the first thing I thought of when reading your original post was the Foulonne tote and I guess I was right. I do hope you can track one down because as you know I highly recommend it.
Keep us posted.
You are brilliant! Spot on without the hints even. [emoji106] I hope I can secure one too. The black is already out of stock on UK website. Limited qty on the other website. I have to consider whether I'll be happy enough with Navy if I can't get the black. But the leather grain on the black just looks so beautiful. Keeping my fingers crossed and checking my mail fervently for these two days.
Hey, i received the crossbody in khaki... I like the color, had no luck it's a made in Romania one.. And seems like a kind of poorly manufactured one, some threads are showing at the ends of the strap and the strap itself looks like formed of 2 distinct pieces. It's nothing obvious you have to look into it but I don't think I'm gonna keep it. Here are some shots of the details. I don't have these issues with the blue pilot one!

Fwiw I’ve owned three of these mini Cuirs and all of their straps were made with two pieces of leather with a seam, as you show, and all the strap ends inside the bag were basically unfinished/not sealed (looked like yours).
