Been debating getting this bag or another mbmj since both brands have great leather.
Could someone please tell me if the Le pliage cuir stands up shape wise by itself if u carry it on your shoulder instead of cross body? I.e. if I remove the cross body strap, will the corners of the bag stay up so that it looks like the regular Le pliage shape or does it still sag down? Thank you!!

I love them. I use the small black one for work. Its so practical, light as a feather and holds heaps. Some people might prefer something more structured or with more buckles etc but I love its simplicity. Its a very classy bag. I haven't used the camel one yet but I intend to use it more on weekends and for travel when I need to carry more.
Here's some comparison photos.
Thanks for the review. I am looking for a work bag and the black one looks good. Definitely gives me something to think about
My gun metal sags a little, maybe bacause of the metal hole.
sorry for the crappy pic of my gun metal.

Hello 
Does anyone know if Longchamp has discontinued the navy cuir? Their web site does not show the Le Pliage Cuir available in navy. I've just recently been exposed to the Cuir line and I really like the pics of the navy posted on this thread. I haven't had a chance to go to a Longchamp store to find out. Also, how big is the large Cuir compared to the nylon Pliage. I've read the dimensions and it seems like the large Cuir is comparable to the nylon travel version. Could I be right with that assumption? Also, I am 5'3", 100 lbs. I own the nylon Le Pliage in large (both long and short handles) and am fine with the size, especially when it sags a bit. Any thoughts, advice or suggestion from all you experienced Longchamp ladies (and maybe even gents since Josh Duhamel has one 
) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

After months of searching I finally found the small Cuir in navy on the Bloomingdales website! It arrived last Tuesday and I couldn't be happier...exactly what I was hoping for; a lovely deep navy almost appearing black in some lights. A quick search shows they still have the Cuir tote in navy available. I am not sure what style you are looking at. I am 5'2 110lbs and the small size was perfect for me. I tried the medium and large and they were too large for me, but it depends on you and how you like your bags and what you plan to use them for. Good luck!
I'm 5'4" and around the same weight as you, and I just recently bought two of the large le pliage cuirs. I did mean to choose one of them and send the other back, but I love them so much I've kept both!
The large one with long handles is the size I have and it is exactly the same size as the nylon large totes. Perfect size for me - not too big at all, but I do like big bags. It's incredibly lightweight. Hope that helps : )

That is beauutifulFinally here is a pic of my beauty
It is the small cuir in marine blue ( I think the english name is navy blue).
I lover her so much.
I think bags actually looks pretty nice when they sag. Especially lv monogram speedy
"Oh where of where has our little Rere gone..." I was wondering
.. and my question has been answered!
I was in Sydney last week, and saw Le Pliage Cuir... I'd been wondering if Longchamp would ever do that style in leather, as - like Rere, I'm a leather-freak.
So, umming and ahhing between the Sapin (amazing Forest Green), the Gunmetal and the Canard (like the Balenciaga Canard), I fell upon this thread, saw Rere's photos, heard her "Aria for Le Pliage", and immediately wandered into the Perth Hunt Leather store to feel them again.
I left with the store with the Gunmetal in the Medium, worrying about whether I should have bought the next size up.
On returning home, I cannot believe how much I could fit into this size up from the smallest size: the usual suspects of wallet, phone, key-pouch and sunglasses, followed by... three pouches - each the size of the Balanciaga Make-Up; a magazine; a book; another book (just because I wanted to see how much it would fit without exploding); a scarf; a water bottle; and - finally - my mid-weight leather biker jacket. And the bag still managed to zip up without any strain on the zip, with the little corners still sagging slightly with some leftover space.
Unbelievable.
Then, when emptied of everything but what I would take out at night - keys, wallet and book (because you never know when you are going to get caught out waiting... and I still haven't switched to e-books
), the bag simply dro-o-o-o-ps to perfection.
It's so capacious as a travel bag or work bag, and looks gorgeous when there is next to nothing in it.
I am officially in love with this leather version of an old Longchamp favourite... and it's completely satisfied my three-year-long desire to own a Balenciaga Maxi Twiggy in Anthracite at a fraction of the cost.
Coming from the same place as Rere, I've had to forgo my passion for heavily distressed leather, but this hasn't been too hard with the incredible softness of the Longchamp Le Pliage leather.
I think I am going to go back for the Sapin or the Natural - I just adore the the Le Pliage Cuir. It's a great leather bag for a pretty good price with excellent workmanship... very happy indeed!
