Beautiful and hope you get your items soon. I am also awaiting a backordered item from WSB, so much so that my second order from them had already shipped and yet no news of the backordered item yet. Shall ask them about it too.
Show us your Longchamp!

Ask away! Then you will be all prepared when a sale strikes. The Cuir leather is really soft, it is foldable though I personally store it flat. I know the downside of not being able to feel and see one irl.
Now, I have a small Cuir and it already stores a lot imo, due to the softness of the leather. It doesn't look bulky either with all that I have inside. That said, I do intend to consider a medium Cuir for my next one as I won't be able to squeeze in anything else extra whereas I foresee I can have a scarf or light cardigan within. Oh, and the leather is so light that once you have one, you will tend to compare other brands with it. Even when the leather is soft and light, it is at the same time sturdy. I don't know how LC does it but my mum overloads her small Mocha Cuir with water, jacket etc and carrying it daily and she is very pleased with it. She is 64 this year. Have a look inside the "what's in your LC" thread. So useful when I was deliberating on the size.
For the Neo though, I initially thought that the medium will be too big but it turned out I purchased the medium instead of the small. Reason being I can have my water and scarf/light cardigan inside and still have room left over. I also intend to bring this bag for travelling hence it makes sense to have more space. The small, however, is really adorable and if I were to not carry much or just out to dinner, the space within a small is more than sufficient. I do really like both sizes and feel they serve different purposes. One thing to consider though is the strap, as it is non adjustable. If it is too long for you, there is still the option of shortening it with a leather shop or cobbler though, as I had learnt from the ladies here. Hope this helps and I strongly urge you to get one of each. 😉😁
Indigo should be the same as the blue you got...probably just different lighting?
Never? Oh dear, what a pity. All right, I will give them a call and probably cancel it then since it had been about 3 weeks but no updates yet. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciated the lady's honesty with me at WSB. Had I waited, I would have missed out on the next best price.
Glad you managed to get one at a better price. Happy for you! Looking forward to hear your thoughts when you get it. I just read through all reviews of it on Nordies yesterday. 😁
Thank you so much for all the info & details, I really appreciate it! I think the small in both Cuir and Neo look the "cutest", but I also like big bags. I love the idea of a soft light weight leather bag. Then there is the issue of which color (I am desperate need of bilberry & can see that in Neo). Ugh! I have a Nordstrom reasonably close to me. When I release myself from ban island, I'll have to take a ride to see the sizes IRL. In the meantime I will scroll through threads looking at which sizes fit what. Thanks for that tip too. However the more I look, the more I'll be tempted (and I don't need help) - LOL!
Agree about the cute factor in small bags but very often, I let practicality rule over my heart. It's great that you have a Nordies somewhat near you and always good to try out the sizes in person. Have fun deciding! That Neo in Bilberry looks divine, isn't it? I have one on the way, a medium. Can't wait for it to arrive!
I love the cuir leather! Soft but strong. Though the feel isn't uniform throughout seasons/colors. My biggest 'complaint' is that the strap size can vary. Le Foulonne is nice too.
I totally agree that practicality has to rule over the heart or else I'd have a ton of bags that I wouldn't use. The only thing that comes to mind is I got the LP LLH & it turned out too big for me for daily use (gasp, as again I like big bags). It makes me wonder if small in both Cuir and Neo would work. Yes, it will be a ball to ogle these bags IRL.
Congrats on the Bilberry Neo, I can't wait to see pics!
I can't wait to see the Cuir IRL. Good to know about the differences between seasons and colors, thanks! Hum, I don't know about the Le Foulonne (or is this the structured leather bag?). I'm sure there will be even more styles, and no doubt colors, that will be added to my wish list. [emoji3]
So bummed I missed it! I was so busy the last 2 weeks I didn't pay attention to whatshebuy emails!
I don't have the cherry in either size but i have the LPC in both small and medium in other old colors. I guess I'll have to wait until the next sale
What color do you have in mind for the medium?
