hi! i now have 3 longchamp pliage bags (in 3 different sizes haha) and those appear to be genuine, the only thing is I'd want to see the stamp on the leather flap and close-ups of the snap buttons and the embossed horse and horseman on the front. the tags should be thick and not flimsy and if "brand new" usually have a longchamp white (at least mine was) tissue paper wrapping it.

veronica, thank you but beware that top of the snap and embossing of horseman are not enough. The counterfeiters are getting very good at copying the logo and hardware. (used bags will not come with tag.)

I am sure those in question are genuine without the close-ups. There are other details I look for, that are OK in the photos. ;)

yikes! i had no idea. those posted fakes are horrible. the material of the pliage totes should not wrinkle so terribly and look so -- cheap. as for the hardware, that's amazing, but how can we tell?? :thinkin: ive just gone to the longchamp stores in paris and then in this small city off lake geneva in switzerland to buy 2 of the ones i have, the third i bought from delfino shop in new york. can we simply not rely on ebay auctions and instead only buy from legitimate retailers?

^ you can use ebay (I buy bags from past seasons there) but if you cannot tell fake from the real, please ask here for help.

i do not want to give away all the details which show whether it is real or fake because that will help counterfeiters. (I think Megs said once in the Authenticate forum, that it is good to keep some things secret... :winkiss:)

Hi I just recieved an "authentic" LongChamp bag on ebay and doubting on the authenticity.. Im not sure if LongChamp really does this but the front button is a golden color and the round zipper is bronze. Can they do both and it will be authentic or is this just fake?
Thanks!

Please, if you want me to authenticate I need a link to the auction or photos.

Yes what you say is possible. If you will search tpf, you will find that there are posts saying how snaps are always gold and zipper hardware color depends on the bag style
