I bought 2 longchamp le pliage totes recently and found that they were made in china - I debated whether to keep them since I got them on sale at a very reputable department store in the San Jose, CA area - then, I went to the same store later and they had the same ones but they were now made in France. So, I told the sales associate that I wanted to exchange them because I wanted the french ones if I was going to pay over $100 for each... I can't understand how Longchamp manufactures their stuff... same bags with one in China and one in France at the same price... crazy. I want the french stuff
