Does anyone have experience using their cuir for an everyday travel bag? We are headed to Paris in the fall and I am hoping to use mine daily on our trip. I am curious what experiences people have had using this as a travel purse and if it is protective enough against pick pockets.

It is secure in that it zips closed and then you can button the snap, too. There are no outside pockets. If you carry it crossbody you can shift it around to the front so you can keep your hand on it if you're concerned. I think the light weight of a Cuir makes it a perfect travel bag.
Hey y'all. I haven't been around in a while but I pulled out my old natural color medium Cuir this week and fell in love again. I decided to finally order the black small and had a 20% offer from Sands Point, so I went for it. She arrived today and I'm a little disappointed because it looks like they sent me someone's return. 
No box, just folded (badly) in the dustbag and the strap attached with some kind of zip ties. 
On the other hand; she appears cosmetically perfect so I guess I'll just use some leather cleaner/conditioner on her and call it a day. Has anyone else gotten a badly-packaged "new" bag from Sands Point??

I also have the Cuir in the Natural color, the large size and I love it!!!! Btw, never had a badly wrapped package from SPS, and I’ve purchased from them several times. Did you call them about it?Hey y'all. I haven't been around in a while but I pulled out my old natural color medium Cuir this week and fell in love again.

Hey girl. No, I didn't call them. The bag looks fine; no wear or "residue" or anything. It was just packaged poorly... not folded correctly and no LC box. The strap had some wide white zip tie things. Honestly, it's been a while since I bought an LC so I might not remember how they come. (But I do know this one was not folded correctly.
) I applied some Cadillac leather treatment on her and cut the tags. She's just fabulous. Now I've got the bug again.

I have several cuir items purchased from all over the place, and I don’t recall a cuir handbag ever coming in a box. I’ve only ever received cuir SLGs in manufacturer boxes. Even pristine, untouched, never seen the light of day cuirs from the LC section of Galleries Lafayette in Paris were just folded in a dust bag.
I kind of appreciate the minimal packaging.
Yay!!! Glad you’re happy and feeling the LC bug again!!!Hey girl. No, I didn't call them. The bag looks fine; no wear or "residue" or anything.

I also use Cadillac on all my leather bags. Keeps them looking like new! Enjoy your lovely Cuir!!!!!Wow, your first post since joining in 2015... I feel honored!!
My issue was not so much with the lack of a box, but more about the condition of the bag. Did the pristine Paris bags have big white zip ties on the strap? Just wondering if that's the way they are packaged now. Thanks!
I just received my new medium cuir in red lacquer. The colour looks so rich combined with leather. Planning to use this as one of my everyday bags for work but without the strap. Will use the strap only for weekends or when on holidays.Do you use the bag without the strap or with it?
Congrats on your beautiful bag. Love the red lacquer color! Personally I prefer the look of hand-carried Pliage bags; tres chic.
Lovely!
I carry mine with the strap for added flexibility! I do hand carry too but with the strap hanging down

For those that own the le cuir crossbody, do you find it awkward to get into since the zipper is at the back?
