Need Help - LP Cuir Mini or Cuyana Mini Bag?

[SleepyInSeattle]

I am in search for a small black leather crossbody that’s minimalist, lightweight, and comfortable. I have a sensitive shoulder so I’m finding that for crossbody I need something small. Multiple wear options is a nice plus, but not necessary. I also don’t want to spend more than $300. I’ve been looking and so far the Cuyana 3 in 1 Mini Bag and Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir Mini appeal the most to me. The Cuyana costs less and seems the most practical and comfortable, and I’m a mom with a toddler so the belt bag option’s convenient, but it’s unlined. I really love the design of the LC. I like that the LC is lined; I do wonder how comfy it is with that skinny strap, though. Do any of you have either of these bags, and can you weigh in or help with recommendations? Thank you!

I have the LP Mini in Cherry. I love it to bits! It weighs absolutely nothing when empty, the strap is easy to adjust from crossbody to shoulder carry and it fits a ton. The leather is also very durable. I've never had an issue with the thin strap because the bag itself is so lightweight.

Thank you!

I saw the LP mini ar Nordstrom’s this weekend, and it’s so cute in person! I was tacky and tried it on with my stuff in it, and you’re right, it’s light. They also had the Neo version which is so pretty.

I don't have either but do love the LP.

Lo & Sons has a bag similar in dimensions, price, and versatility to the Cuyana called the Waverly. It’s lined and has nice pockets.

I ended up getting the Cuyana 3 in 1 (my shoulder got worse so the belt bag option ended up selling me), and wanted to give some feedback to anyone interested.

This bag is lovely. Very lightweight, a nice size for a few essentials. The leather is lovely. The 3 wear options are great. I mostly wear it as a belt bag. It has clean minimalist lines, which I like. This may be my favorite bag.

That is nice. Looks good as a clutch too. I love the contrast of the brass stud.
