over time i've realised that longchamps are easy to fake cuz firstly, it's made of nylon, which is a cheap material that is easy for fakers to get hold of; secondly, the shape isn't hard to reproduce.
I've learnt the hard way after being given a couple by family friends who bought them from hong kong. upsetting ::C
i've learnt to take note of the embossing and length (even thickness!) of the leather strap for the le pliage ones! i know there are different strap lengths so i would suggest you go to their official site and estimate from there!
