Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir - your opinions

[schmurse]

Ladies, I went out today on an impromptu trip to Longchamp in SF. My SA called me yesterday to say the bags I wanted to see were on hold. Had to see them.

PAPRIKA - I walked away with the new Paprika in "new" medium! It is my favorite one now, second to my "old" medium Navy Cuir. Oh goodness, you guys are in for a surprise when I get around to posting pics! Paprika is divine, just the right amount of orange and hints of red. Darker than tangerine and totally wearable, even for everyday. PAPRIKA - pics soon. I promise!

YELLOW - insanely gorgeous as well! I don't know that I could ever carry a yellow bag but if I were to, this would be it. It's bright but not shocking and still has some mute-ness to it.

SANDY BEIGE - Ewe. Just, ewe. Much better off with either first season's Caramel or second season's Camel. Sandy is dull and blah with absolutely zero depth.

NEW NAVY - I'm surprised but its actually very very close to first season's old and darker Navy! It's not as dark, and the old Navy has a little more depth, but its nice if you're wanting a Navy Cuir.

Pictures!!

By the way, do you know if the gun metal color is coming back? I'm hoping someone will post pictures of the new navy cause I really really like the old navy but I'll probably have to settle for new navy :-/

What do you mean by Gun Metal "coming back?" It's still in stores... what size are you looking for? Last week Longchamp SF had the new medium in Gun Metal.

Pics soon!

It is??!!! I don't have a Longchamp near me so I've been stalking the website and checking out Nordstroms and Saks. Apparently the stores by me suck and the Nordstrom SA had no idea what I was talking about... Tried to tell me the plain old Pliage was what I wanted.

I didn't see gun metal on their website either... Was it a different name? I'm looking for a medium.

Presenting, Paprika.

Darker tangerine orange with some hints of red. Like I said, very wearable. I can see myself wearing this gem in both spring and summer.

Where are you located? Can you call the SF Longchamp boutique on Grant Ave? My SA there is Asya - ask her if she has some. Are you looking for the "new" medium or the "old" medium? I was there a couple weeks ago looking at some of the Gun Metal "new" mediums so it shouldn't be too late if you want to get one shipped to you.

I'm on the other coast but have family in SF
New medium for sure! Old medium seemed a bit big for me (your photos helped me decide, so thank you for all the photos!)

Love the paprika too!

I'm new to Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir thread (i'm balenciaga girl) but today while wandering in Florence saw a store that carried Longchamp and i'm in love now with cuir line.
The down point is that they had very few colours but i luckily there was onei fell in love with. So bought small le pliage cuir in grey. They told me it is new season colour. But is it? What is the correct name of the colour?
I'll post pics as soon as i'm home. Loving my new bag!

Thank you so much for the report!! I've been waiting for the navy. I can't see it in person until next month so I am holding off, but I've been waiting for navy in the new medium size for months. It will be my every day bag! Can't wait to see your pictures. Any other comments on the navy? I loved the old navy, it was just so beautiful and dark and sophisticated.. I just wanted the old navy in the new size, so your comment about the old navy having more depth is making me very curious..

ETA: oops, I see you did post pictures, I didn't realize there was an entire extra page of new posts in this thread haha

Purple? Not, not sure yet. But a purple would be lovely. Have you considered a Burgundy Cuir? It's from the same season as your Gun Metal and its a purplish Burgundy. Really pretty! It's more interesting than a regular Burgundy, I feel.

The new navy is nice! Very nice and still sophisticated. It's just not as dark and not as mysterious as the old navy, IMHO. I compared it to my old navy, which is the bag I carried into the store, and it was similar. Not so similar (or different) that I would sell my old medium old navy and buy the new medium in new navy, if that makes sense.

Hi, REREsaurus, I'm new to Le Pliage Cuir, and dying to get a sling one (with long strap). But I'm confused with all these 70+ pages of information. What is the "medium" size? I definitely want one bigger than the "small". What's the next size up? Is it the one costs $595? Who is the best online retailer for this model? I'm at Seattle, there's no official retailer here anyway. Thanks a lot!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing it next month.
