is cuyana the next longchamp?

i absolutely love my longchamp le pliage.  it has been by my side through college all-nighters, coffee dates with friends, and trips around the world.  it is the perfect day bag, school bag, and carry-on.  after five years of daily use, i can confidently say that it was worth every. single. penny.

however i've been on the market for something new, something timeless, and something that is sure to last the next five years without breaking the bank.

cuyana classic leather tote in caramel

i'm not sure if this leather cuyana is the answer to my answer to all my problems, but i am totes (#punny) crushing.  it is just so so so lovely, and it has been on my radar for the past six months.  my birthday is next month... hmm potential birthday present to myself!? me thinks so.

p.s. did you know that longchamp has a great after sales service repair policy.
