Hello ladies!
My Longchamp Le Pliage just arrived today, and while I'm *almost* sure it's authentic, I wanted to check with the authenticating goddesses here before I left FB for the seller.
(Sorry for the photo overload, they're my own pictures and I wanted to make sure that you could see the details clearly
)
Thanks for your help!

you're a dear.
Hello everyone,
Can I get some authentication on this listing? The seller actually refers bidders to TPF, which is a good sign, but there are no metal feet on the bag's base, and I can't see any interior logo placement. I am very new to this brand, however, and the bag looks older, so I thought I would check with you before making any conclusions, or asking for additional photos. Thanks so much!

^ joyoflife, I was just admiring that auction! It is a vintage Longchamp in great condition. That pattern, which is called LM, was originally produced in the 1970s and only for Japan, not sold to the market in France. The LM line has the quadrille pattern on leather.
Longchamp reintroduced the LM style in 2008 for the 60th anniversary of the company. There are similar new ones with LM pattern (and mine has feet) but the vintage ones do not have feet.
rare, vintage, and authentic!!!

^ Oops... I should say, that my new LM "English" style tote does have metal feet. The new style LM doctors bag (like "Speedy") still do not have feet.
I noticed on the Longchamp site that the newer smaller LM bags closest in style to the one listed don't have feet, either. It's an interesting bag and looks to be getting some attention on eBay. I'm still after the cognac Cosmos, but feeling tempted to add this to the mix. While I would prefer feet, I love the print and simplicity of this handbag.
TIA!
^ that is real Roseau bag. The style has changed over the years. It has been with many styles of handles, many finishes of leather, many shapes. There is nothing wrong with your bag.
Only recently was the Roseau lined with quadrille fabric. The older ones, like yours, are unlined.

^ you are welcome. In general, you do not need to worry about the leather bags. It is the nylon (Pliage and Planetes) ones that are copied with knockoffs.
