Wow! I hope they do something like that again. I’ll be all over it! Nada purple tone bags in my collection now. That needs to change!
Hello, All! I am considering purchasing a pre-owned small black Le Pliage Cuir bag, but it is the older version with the brown lining. Are there any significant differences between the older version and the newer that would make the newer version a "better" purchase?
The leather for the newer version is sturdier but still soft. As a result, the bag doesn't "puddle" when it's empty. That's the number 1 plus point. The strap for the newer version is shorter and wider too - not a big deal since now LC sells straps separately. Personally, I prefer the newer version due to the sturdier leather
Thank you for your input! I think I might also prefer the sturdier leather.

The new strap which is shorter and wider works better for me too. I like to wear the cuir as a shoulder bag.
Me too! But I am still able to use it crossbody with the new wide strap If I really need to. Eg, for travel. Not to mention, the strap is soooocomfy!
Thank you for your help @frenziedhandbag and @viewwing ! I typically carry my bags by hand, but it's good to know the newer strap is comfortable and easy to use.
I do carry the cuir on my arm too. It’s also easy to do that n doesn’t cut off blood circulation on my arm. Haha!

I've never succeeded at this! I would love to see a photo of how you carry yours. Does your arm stay bent the whole time?
I can't seem to comfortably carry bags on my arm and straps never stay on my shoulders...so handbags have always been only HANDbags for me!
I alternate with arm n shoulder carry. Here’s me with my pink small cuir.I've never succeeded at this! I would love to see a photo of how you carry yours. Does your arm stay bent the whole time?

Lovely and so elegant! Such a beautiful color, too. I'll have to give the arm carry a try!
You should! if it doesn’t work, the wide strap stays on shoulders really well. But honestly, arm carry is the look I like best for the small cuir.
