any updates on long champ repairing the "holes" in the bottom of the Le Pliage line? What is the process like and how much would one expect to reinvest in the bag for these repairs? Anyone have luck with Nordstrom repairing these bags (if you didnt purchase them from there)

I just gave my Longchamp to the Newbury Street Longchamp store to be sent off for repairs about a week and a half ago! They said it'll take 4-6 weeks and they'll call me once it's in. I'll let you know once I get it back. :smile1:

you are such a doll. that is my go to longchamp store too. what a coincidence. let me know! thanks!
 
Does it matter if you take it to a different place than you purchased it from (I.e., I bought mine from Sands Point and I want to take it to a Longchamp store).

No, it does not matter where you purchased it from, as long as it is authentic. So, you have nothing to worry about from Sands Point since they are an authorized LC retailer.
 
Help! Just got my first LP Cuir and because I'm clumsy as hell, I ended up getting a small scratch in front of the bag :sad: It's only a small one but still…

So how do you protect your Cuir bags? I've put couple layers of waterproofing spray on, but should I also put some kind of cream on it? I love the softness of the leather, but I'm afraid that I'll scratch it more.

Can you post a photo of the scratch? I think waterproofing won't keep the leather from being scratched. I love the le plaige cuir but they are too soft, so I do take care of them more than my other bags.. I got a stain on the bottom that I couldn't remove! Such a nightmare.

It took actually more like 7-8 weeks for them to repair the bag. They said they were running a bit behind. Anyways, I just got it back today, and it looks like they just took in an inch or so at the bottom and sewed it back up.

From what I can tell, it looks good. Are you happy with the repair?

I figured that's how they would repair it. Is the inch difference noticeable?
 
I'm thinking about throwing my LC in the washing machine on the lowest temperature... It has a few stains and could use a wash! Should I hand wash instead - or maybe do something to the stains before machine washing it?

BTW I'm so annoyed we don't have a LC store here. I think the only place to get them is the airport! Which means I can't have my corners repaired :(
