^ please post your own photos here of the bag you receive and we can help authenticate. i need to see the writing on the back, the inside, and the front flap of the bag you receive, not the auction.

posting your own photos and authenticating will help future buyers too. thank you!

the seller shows all real bags in photos, but I agree the price seems too good to be true. It is also interesting, that the seller uses a mix of different photo backgrounds and stock photos..... :thinkin:

Oddly she used the same pics for different auctions. Most of her auctions the pics are tagged, a few arent. I agree with Ballet Russe and if you win, post your pics here.

hi, im planning to buy a longchamp large tote. i've been using the ebay guide to help me check it - everything seems ok except for the inside tag. from what i know, tags should show the model number etc. according to the longchamp site, code for the large tote is 1899..., however, on the bag im planning to buy, it says 2724... does this mean that the bag could be fake? or just an earlier model? TIA!

^ it's an offline transaction thus i cant provide images :(

i actually saw a similar item at magnums.net.. magnums says it's 2724 but longchamp.com indicates it as 1899..

i already emailed longchamp about it. i already have a large tote and the code says 1899 (bought in france) but im just a bit concerned on how 2 bags with the same size and model would have different product codes.

I am confused about what you want to authenticate. Bag on Magnums? An off-ebay transaction?

Magnums sells only authentic items. The are an AUTHORIZED RETAILER of Longchamp bags. :tup: Please use the search to see what other tPF members say about Magnums and you will find much information.

I do not know much about model numbers or product codes. You need to give us photos of the bag for sale if you want us to authenticate. Sorry :shrugs:

^ that's what i know as well.. perhaps it would be best if i just post pictures after i've purchased the item *hope it's not going to be money wasted* :D thanks for taking the time to reply to my query :ty:

by the way, if im facing the bag, should the tag (the one inside the bag) be on the right side only?

The bags in the photo are authentic :tup:, but it makes me worried that seller uses stock many photos and photos taken in different styles and location. I would ask for close-up of the actual bag. If you receive the bag, please post photos for us so we can help you authenticate.

also anyone have any idea why the handles on the le pliage shopping large seem shorter than the older ones? magnums lists a drop of around 12" but Nordies/bloomies etc list around 10"

I think they measure different. They are all the same. I have old Pliage and new and they are same.

Thank you! I did actually buy and it seems authentic. On the back it says "Le Pliage Shopping Modele Depose" and it has the diamond patterned leather. I think my only question was about the strap length. My camera is broken though :( Anyone have a picture of either the straps (large size bag, long straps) compared to the rest of the bag or on their person? I could compare that way and let you all know.

I just want to add. I am only concerned about the size. It seems smaller than the large ones my friends have... is it possible that the straps on theirs got stretched over time and that's why mine seems shorter? I have no idea why this would be otherwise.
Any suggestions? Advice? It seems a bit smaller than the large, but def. not a medium! Are the newer ones with different measurements? is there a tote with long handles, large size that's bigger than the le pliage shopping large?
If it helps, the bag I rece'd looks "just* like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Longchamp-Le-Pl...tem&pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item1c121db984
thanks for taking the time to help out. I'm new to all this! I am a student and want to use it for books and thought the bag would have been a bit bigger, that's all :)
