need any more pics? If so, of what? Thanks, ladies!!

definitely authentic. notice how the leather has tiny diamond pattern on it. real Le Pliage will always have that (and fakes usually do not!)

are you talking about the black one i posted or the tan one? i hope the black one!! thank you kathryn!

yes sorry i saw only one first time too. Both are real Longchamp.
tan is Les Pliages collection type "s" style
black is Les Planetes collection large "shopping" style

you can continue to feel good. your bag is perfect. Things that your bag has right (and where fakes are often wrong often):

• lining that's a different color than the outside
• diamond criss-cross pattern on leather
• straps are thin and not too round. fakes often have "long" handles too short and are stuffed with plastic tubing.

i'm not 100% sure about this one because i can't tell if the horse is centered over the button but here it is:

real! remember, the leather grain is the most important thing to check always. the horse looks centered to me.

please beware of these fake Longchamp scammers. I think it is the same person with 2 IDs.

Can someone have a look at this? I have been researching Longchamp and it is real close if it is fake. the one thing that concerns me is the lining. It appears to be a leather type lining.

also, are Longchamp's supposed to have a number of some kind? I couldnt find one on the tag.

I had a hard time taking a photo of the tag. It has the jockey, then in an oval it says LONGCHAMP PARIS 1948 then under the oval it says MADE IN PARIS.

I had trouble with the side snaps as well. Those say: ORIGINAL PRYM 648

thanks!

Oh, 1 more thing. The toggle on the clasp is a matte or satin silver, not a shiny silver.

Thanks!

 

[ballet_russe]

^ it's real. It's a Longchamp Roseau split cowhide tote. Older ones are not lined with fabric. Older bags also do not have serial #.

The color of the toggle varies with each season. They have been gold, matte silver, shiny silver, and mother-of pearl at different times.

Thank you so much! I am doing a happy dance now!

Hello...

Could you please help me to authenticate this Longchamp bag (for a friend of mine)?

She was trying her best to take these pictures, I am not sure if the below are enough.

Many thanks in advance and I am truly appreciated your help(s).
