I'm wearing a lighter colored outfit today and wished I had a Brandy as it will complement the pinks in my top.

Hello Purseforum and the beautiful Mademoiselle lovers! I joined this forum only to be a part of this passionate thread which i saw only after getting my bag! I am a fashion blogger from Mumbai, India and wanted to share my interesting mademoiselle story. It was 11 May 2017, Lonchamp had just launched here and invited me for a collection preview! I was asked to pose with my favourite model and i liked the mademoiselle. See the pictures in a full length dress from that day which also went up on my instagram ( @ilawise26). Fast forward 2019, i saw a sale happening since the brand which brought LC here is closing down! I happened to pass by the store 2 weeks ago - and my eye fell on the mademoiselle again! I posed and i pondered and felt that it was calling me . Tried the red which didn't suit me. There was cognac but priced higher , however this is the color i liked- i guess its the Mimosa. Since the large Hobo doesn't have a crossbody strap i also got me a logo strap which is so my style! See the pictures from the store . It is actually my first luxury purchase and its currently sitting pretty inside its packaging coz i do that with all new purchases , haha !

Hello and welcome to tPF!
Congratulations on your beautiful Mademoiselle. It seems that it was meant to be and the color looks perfect on you. I remember when the Mumbai boutique opened two years ago and I actually posted some instagram pics from the event you mentioned here and here. It’s too bad the store is closing. I hope you still have the opportunity to continue your love for Longchamp.

Hello and welcome to tPF!
OMG! What a pleasant surprise that you shared my pics in 2017! I am so glad to have stumbled here . I do feel sad that LC has to exit because of the group that brought it here. But i do think that there are many luxury takers in the country and if LC thinks its viable they will be back. Lets hope for the best! I was wondering which country is cheaper so far for LC bags? France? India was exorbitant actually! Also, i am secretly eyeing the Cognac in small too while stock lasts
what do you think?

I am always in favor of owning multiple Mademoiselles!
It's my favorite Longchamp style by far. So I say, if the bag works for you, go for it while you still can.

Is the Cognac also a Hobo? You may want to get the Crossbody so that you have 2 different sizes
I so agree with Mademoiselle being an instantly recognisable bag from LC besides the Le pliage! Perhaps the reason why i am drawn! The store closed down but the online store is still open and the description is confusing ! I placed an order lets seeI am always in favor of owning multiple Mademoiselles!
Hey hey! Its funny but the online description calls it Crossbody however when i see dimensions , they match the small Hobo. I am really confused though i have placed an order in the fear of losing it! Lets see what i finally get in mailIs the Cognac also a Hobo?

Looking forward to your reveal!
Hello lovelies! The Mademoiselle Cognac arrived today. Its packaging was rather sloppy by the local ecommerce website- just came in a dust bag! No care instruction card and no tag. From the looks of it i feel its a Crossbody after all . The description said so but the dimensions were otherwise when i matched LC official website! I am a 5"6 and this is how the bag looks on me. Surprisingly this small bag fits in a small umbrella, phone, camera, my tripod stand - I am amazed! What do you think ? TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT? The packing was a bummer and what exactly would be the authenticity proof here? Please guide me? I can request the website accordingly.

That's the Small Hobo you've got there.
Your first Mademoiselle (the big one, with one longer shoulder strap in post #467) is called the Medium Hobo. This one in Cognac is the Small Hobo. The Crossbody (the smallest size available) has no pocket on the front under the flap (see pics below).All three of my Mademoiselles are the Small Hobo and I think it's a great size; roomy enough to work as a day bag, yet versatile enough to work for casual nights out as well. I think if you like the bag and it's in good shape--no damage or flaws--you should consider keeping it. The size suits your frame well. Congrats on your Mademoiselle!
Oh dear! You are such a saviourThat's the Small Hobo you've got there.

. I was at my wits end comparing pictures of small hobo and crossbody and couldnt figure this difference 
. The e-commerce partner is indeed Sloppy with the descriptions too huh! I totally think this is a great size too - you have 3 - speaks for its utility. I love it already - plus i found someone on Insta with the same strap as me with a Cognac and its LOVEEE . Attaching pic here ( Thai actress i guess) . I have written to the E-commerce website anyways to understand what my authenticity proof would be ! Also sorry for the bad lighting at home today! The pics are so gritty! Might share better ones later!

Happy to help. Keep in mind that neither the tag (which U.S. Longchamp boutiques always remove at purchase time) nor the folding green leather-care card are considered proof of authenticity anyway. As long as this shop was an authorized Longchamp dealer (which I gather it was) you should be fine.
