This is the thread that I am looking for! I bought a Cuir Bag in Black. On the 1st day of using it, it got rubbing on the corner same as the one in this pic. I reached out to LC and they replaced the bag. Then, I used the replacement bag. Same thing happened! It got rubbing on one corner. It is the corner that rubbed on my jeans when carrying the bag. I already contacted LC & wait for their feedback but I am pretty sure that if they allow to replace the bag again, this would still happen. They do not allow return and refund so my only option is to accept that the bag needs extra TLC. I checked the purseforum and saw this Z-coat on corners.

Do you suggest applying this on the rubbed corner to prevent further damage? I am afraid the corners would have holes in the corners after some time.

Do you also suggest putting Z-coat on other corners that do not have damage for protection?

Will LC customer service no longer entertain my queries or future repairs needed in the bag if I put Z-coat?

I have the cuir in a fuschia colour. Colour is a bit rubbed off from corners too. Not sure if it started from the first day though. Used it for 3 weeks last summer. Babied it. Too scared to use it anymore.

Its odd, since my cousin had a large size cuir, and a dark forest green. Its her everyday bag. Its all slouchy and soft now, but the colour seems fine on her bag. I didn't get a close look at the bag though. Could just be the colour evenly wearing off everywhere on the bag...

Has anyone tried to fix the sealant on their Le Pliage handles? One of the handles (the chap area) is really breaking down and since they want to charge me $50 to replace handles and the bag was $60ish, I would rather just try to do something on my own. I have Googled this, but can't find anything. Help please! My royal blue SLH tote looks great except this chap (a second one will need it soon, but not as bad as the first).

I have used a beeswax based leather preserve like Obenauf or Weatherproofing and it helps to keep them from getting suede'd to an extant. I believe that you can buy resin kits for handles but I have never tried them myself.

Thank you. I'm going to research this. I also found some Coach owners use leather glue and edge kote when they rehab their vintage pieces so maybe I can try that.

Can anyone suggest a bag organiser for the longchamp le pliage that’s not expensive but one that is not the typical rectangle
Shape that sits at the bottom of the bag? I am looking for one that covers the whole inside of the bag all the way to the top. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! Seems like it’s a been awhile since we discussed care for the Cuir line. What’s the current best practice in terms of waterproofing and conditioning? I know Apple Garde is popular, but I’m wary of it after reading from @viewwing that it ruined a non-LC lambskin bag. TIA for any tips!
