Thanks. It looks to be the winning bidder from the original listing so she's probably just using those photos. No response yet, but I'd like her own photos of the bag. I hate to be suspicious but I've found it to be best to err on the side of caution with eBay.
 
Hi everyone,

This auction was recently listed and I am in the market for this style. The funny thing about the auction is that the photos used in the listing are the same ones used for a bag that was listed a couple of weeks ago (see the second eBay link or item number 220516466651).

It is authentic Longchamp Cosmos. :tup:

It is the same bag! Here is the answer to your mystery... Seller wolfemr bought the bag from jagsmomma2008 and is now reselling it. If you check the feedback of jagsmomma2008, you will see it is clear.
 
Thank you! I noticed that later last night. At first, it didn't look to be the same buyer from the original listing because of the anonymity of the eBay user names, which is why I was perplexed. If I can get this for less than half of the retail cost, I will be so happy. I really regretted being outbid.

Ballet_Russe, you mentioned the Longchamp sale in January but do you know in general what sort of discounts they offer? (And ps. I won that vintage Longchamp that was listed in Australia, which you helped verify, so thank you!)

Does anyone know if the real Planetes bag handles have tubing in them? I wonder if mine has that tubing because it is a defect and not because the bag is fake.

Many times a REAL item might have a defect that makes one think it might be a fake, that's why is is VERY important to always check here with purseblog and have detailed photo's.

This is one of the best if not THE best verification spots I have ever seen, I have learned TONS from my time on this board.

^ um,that post of Bell78 was from 1 year ago, no....?

if you are wondering it is not a "defect" on the Planetes. They used to have tubing in an old style but no longer have tubes the way they are made now.

. Pliage has never used tubes.
 
^ I agree, take to a boutique is only official way. If you can take more photos, I can tell you more why it is real. Show me the lining and the tags inside.

It's real. I don't understand why you think it is fake. :confused1::confused1::confused1: Vintage line is made with cowhide. Maybe you prefer the "nice expensive bags" made with calfhide. You get what you pay for. :shrugs: Here is the link for info:

My camera is not picking up the detail - i will try and upload some later.
This is what it has:

1. longhchamp tag that says "made in morocco"
2. A plastic tag under the tag above saying: 0643834 NAM KNG/03 2929139005 with 2 washing symbols
3. Zips say "longchamp" on them but exterior buckles dont


How does this all sound ?
 
That is 100% perfect! buckles don't always have logo. for example, my Legende doesn't have any logo on the buckes anywhere.

The tags are perfect. Not all Longchamp is made in France. The other countries I know of for Longchamp are China, Tunisia, and Morocco. Real bags from recent collections have 2 tags. One is leather and has the Longchamp logo, and the one under is clear plastic.

I have NEVER yet seen fake Longchamp of leather. I have also never seen a fake with tag inside.
 
ok thanks ballet_russe! :-)
I had told the seller i thought it may be fake and she was pretty disgusted with me!! So sounds like i have the genuine article afterall! I better start enjoying my bag!
Thankyou so much...
 
Hi girls,

Please please help authenticate this bag. I'm just wondering as well how come some bags do not have tags inside? Thanks :)

Hi, this forum is great, I have learned a lot about real and fake pliages and planetes today while looking for info about an ebay listing. I have also found this supplier's site describing bags that resemble longchamp le pliage:
http://www.dhgate.com/newest-longch...idery/p-ff808081250bd25d012533c849570a35.html
[embroidered bags]
and another page on the same supplier's site about plain bags:
http://www.dhgate.com/new-arrival-f...e-bag/p-ff808081259b57640125ac8a8ac44998.html
These pages have helped me verify a knockoff rather than authenticate a real longchamp.
