Authenticate This LONGCHAMP! -- Please refer to 1st post!!

[rx4dsoul]

Hello, I just purchased a Longchamp Darshan in Rose from Saks. I read above that the Darshan series is made in France. This one is made in China, but seems authentic enough to me. I've handled some Darshan bags at the store, before they all went on sale and this one feels real to me.
Please help? TIA

I had a cousin pick me up a Darshan when she was in Paris and it was still made in China.

E-mail from customer service :
The line Darshan was not a Limited Edition, it was a seasonal line for our Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
Some Darshan bags can be made in France and in China as the LM Métal bags too.
We guarantee the authenticity of Longchamp articles if they have been purchased at our official boutiques or authorized distributors.
Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Hi...i can see the tag inside and it seems all wrong...aside from the ridiculously low price I also took a look at the other LC items on sale from this seller and at one glance the items look suspicious -the graphite is a fake, the raisin is as well, some items that show the tag have wrong codes and those that dont have other details wrong.

Hi can anyone help authenticate this Tree of Life?

Am not sure if this was produced in this color. My sister bought it at a local store for US$110. But when she was checking the website, she could not find any "Tree of Life" in this color?! A hot red?

TIA

This picture is upside down, sorry

If she got it from an authorized outlet then chances are that it must be authentic. try emailing the company to ask if this color was released...i thought at first that only navy and white existed but then i saw a pink...
btw, color and tag matches red garance ( a hot red )...

Hey guys,

I'm trying to decide between two Longchamp Large Le Pliage totes on eBay but am unsure as too whether they're real or not.

I've read up on it, and apparently the first one is a light colour so it should have a white interior and lining? But the seller has posted SO MANY photos that it seems like it is authentic. And the second one has a stock photo of the full view of the bag, and then only 2 photos that are up close..

Please let me know Thank you!

We can't authenticate by just looking at the pictures but I'm afraid to buy from this seller as all the bags has the same price irregardless of size. FYI, Rustan's SA don't know a knock-off if they see one. The only reliable SA with actual technical knowledge of their brand here in Manila is LV.

Thanks! That was my main concern too. Apart from the fact that her bags sell so cheap. But sometimes, expensive does not necessarily equate to REAL and affordable to FAKE. So, it really does help the buyers when we get some feedback from experts like you guys.
Thanks again!

Great work!

Thanks!
By the way, regarding some of those sellers on ebay.ph who were selling darshans and metals, some of them had the right china tags and the right france tags, but wrong other details so it really was right for you and the other experts to call them out as fakes.

Is it possible for an real long champ to have Longchamp France on the zip pull? Everything else looks fine and its hard to take a picture of it because its so shiny and the picture doesn't show it well.

Hi everyone! Can you help me authenticate this Longchamp Le Pliage? This was preordered and purchased online. Purchase price Php4300 plus shipping. I compared this to my LP cabas and LM nylon. The following points are bothering me:
1. The flap's leather is rough to touch. And is hairy.
2. The care card that came with it was lighter than the care cards that came with my Cabas, LM, and Planetes.
3. The handles don't look right.
4. The bag is heavier than my other Longchamps of the same size.
5. The zipper doesn't move as freely when pulled.
6. The flaps leather is patchy colored.
