I have bought two medium short handled LE pliege from Bluefly today. Someone told me after I had ordered that bluefly sometimes sells fake bags. While I have not received the bags I ordered to post pictures for anthentication (but will post as soon as I receive), I just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience or know more about whether bluefly ever sold fake longchamps? Your response will help to ease my mind tonight greatly, thank you!

MYBAGLOVE and RX4DSOUL:

I was quite taken aback by the comment of MYBAGLOVE. Please review your post and edit your post. It seems that you got the websites and sellers mixed up. You said that you got the fake bag with the label 1899089001 is not from Longchamp de Manille but from the other seller. The authentic Longchamp bag that is Le Pliage Medium Long Handle in Fucshia with the code 2605089455 is NOT from thebagfinder but from Longchamp de Manille. They still have the photo of the tag in their website under the sold section. I managed to check out the entire sold section, and Longchamp de Manille has a pretty amazing collection of sold bags, including hard to find ones! I definitely think that you got it all mixed up...the Fucshia is from Longchamp de Manille and the fake bag is from thebagfinderph. Please edit your post here in tpf to avoid any confusion and mistaken accusations.


RX4DSOUL:

I guess it should be thebagfinderph who should be in the "Hall of Shame" section and not Longchamp de Manille. Longchamp de Manille has sold some bags that I have drooled over (i was looking at the website and their photos of sold bags are just stunning), and should not be known as sellers of fake bags. On the contrary while looking at thebagfinderph's website, I find it strange that she's selling the Le Pliage at just $91! Plus, thebagfinderph's website claims that the Longchamp bags are from Longchamp's China factory...isn't this an overused alibi used by sellers of fake? hmmm...sounds fishy right?

I hope we get this straightened out...it would be sad to see tpf giving out false information, when, in fact, so many bag lovers around the world, like me, rely on authentication tips here.

By the way, here's the link of the photo of Longchamp de Manille that I found in their website showing the serial of the Fucshia bag, proving that this bag did come from them, and not the fake chocolate brown bag.

Hi to everyone,

This is Raine one of the owners of thebagfinderph and Iam afraid there is some sort of confusion with the authenticity of items.

We adhere to selling only authentic bags and have a 100% money back guarantee, There is a stiff competition among online sellers now specially as Christmas season is coming in, and it saddens me that such a comment would be found in this forum, without a 100% proof that the bag was purchased from us.

We do sell personally from bazaars in Rockwell and not only online, I don't think we would risk that much personal info just to sell fakes.

I respect the expertise of the purse forum and its members, and personally get info from this site with regards to bag authenticity.

For all our buyers, thanks you so much for trusting us.
Our website still has guidelines and links to know if your longchamp is authentic and we try to research every now and then for updates.

A new way is to type Longchamp + the serial number at the bottom ( the longer one ) at any search engine and it must show a link to a page of the exact color, size, handle, design of the longchamp you purchased.

Thanks again.

And thanks purse forum for this blog for sellers and buyers of bag alike. :smile1:

i think it's also possible that the seller doesn't know they are selling fake bags. i saw a lot of site where they even put "money back guarantee", thinking they are selling authentic items when in fake fact they are fakes. some sell even lower than the prices in europe ( o well, just a thought)

Dear bagfinder :
That is why we constantly remind our sellers to follow proper format to avoid confusion. I only help to authenticate items as they are presented. I do not presume to tell members that they have mixed up their items, after all, they are the ones with the items/they are the ones who did the purchasing, not us. We do not know the sellers personally or are connected to them that is why we remain objective. That is also why when member Thestig said you were the one with the fake item, I did not immediately echo her sentiment but instead I gave the responsibility to the member who had the items authenticated in the first place to sort out her items.
We have our own system of detecting counterfeits and we are independent of any seller.
Again, we will wait for the member to sort out confusion.
Please be reminded that sellers are also not allowed to promote on authentication threads. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the urgent reply.

Yes sometimes Its not the sellers fault alone, Alot of people have been bringing in longchamp stocks in bulks, selling in sites such as Ebay and Sulit.

That is why we urge our buyers to buy from sellers who take time to explain if possible personally what they are buying, alot of sellers online that we know just mean honest business, a reason thats why we offer a money back guarantee. Mind you, some of them don't and it would take a long argument before you can return an item.

Sites like this are every helpful for us as sellers and buyers too, Counterfeits are everywhere and they never fail to think of ways to come closest to the original and bringing in information is very helpful

Our bags are cheaper from stores because compared to the old stocks and 1st few batches of longchamps that came in, the brand now mass produces in China, meaning lower labor rates, and most suppliers can bring in items without tax. this is only for the le pliage, but for all other designs prices are almost similar to stores and still carry the france and tsunisia tags.

Bags are bought by suppliers in factories by bulk, yes some are cheaper because they have a possibility of being an overun item but not all of them. The maker and quality are all the same and all bags come from one and the same factory in China.

But all in all, If your not sure, dont buy the item, or further more do alot of research, compare, most of out buyers bring their own personal bags bought in duty free or abroad and scrutinize every inch of it.

Thanks so much for taking time in replying to my post.
And please do update us with further information with regards to authenticity.

I will also try my best to post new items in this blog. :smile1:

Previously I had a patch poney authenticated and was it was fake. I have seen that exact same tag in three different sites. Can the tags of authentic patch poney bags be similar in different bags as well?

TIA.

Possibly all three were counterfeits and came from the same producer/manufacturer of replicas...
