Hi, I just got the Les Planete LC bag yesterday and was reading this thread this afternoon earlier on the LongChamp bag differences. Other than the leather grain - It's crocodile synthetic so the grain's different and the heat stamp shows 'Long Champs',the 'modele depose' (has the accent with the 'e' parts) but do not have the 'made in france' part. The hardware are fine.

I was just wondering if the Les Planete LC bags come with any plastic tag or not since I didn't see any in my bag.

^ if it says "Long Champs" as two words with s at the end, there is no way that is real. The company name is Longchamp.

I need pictures if you want me to authenticate. I do not give tips on how to authenticate because that helps counterfeiters.

I just received a large brown chocolate but it looks HUGE! Its measurement is 13"W base and 19.25" W x 13" H x 7.5" D! I have seen large longchamp but not as huge as this one. I wonder what is the size of other large longchamp le pliage? I also notice the quality of this longchamp bag(made in China) isnt as good as the one I owned(one that is made in France).
The Leather of the new bag is rough, but my other bag has very soft leather.

^ those are totally different styles. they are supposed to be different. the red is medium, the brown is a size large. so yes it will be much larger.

I am confused about your problem. You don't like the size? This is like complaining the LV speedy 30 is too big because it is not the same as Speedy 25? :confused1: if you are asking if it is authentic, both are real.

If you are asking if there is a size in between, yes, there is. The brown you have is the old version (2724) of the large bag. Go to the Longchamp boutique and they will have the new version of the large bag (model 1899), which is a little smaller.

no..I don't like this size at all. Do you know what the measurements are for the smaller bag?
Thanks

Dear ballet_russe,

Thank you for your message and for the interest you show in our product.

We have recently changed the size of our "Le Pliage" large tote. The previous large tote, reference # 2724089, has been discontinued in our boutiques, but may still be available in department stores. It was about 1 1/2" larger than our current large tote, reference # 1899089 and had handles that were about 1/2" longer. Our current large tote can still be worn over the shoulder and may be used liked the previous style. Its size was recently modified as per customer requests and suggestions.

Respectfully,
Customer Service

ballet_russe, my mistake about the company name in my earlier posting, the heat stamp shows the company name as one word without the s at the end.

Just wondering if the planetes bags comes without the plastic tag since I do not see the "made in france" part?

it depends on the age of the bag. Older ones have no plastic tag, but it should say somewhere, where it is made. I cannot authenticate unless you show pictures. :yes:

Ballet_russe, I will take pics and post them up later. I can't see where it is made and the bag is brand new from the LC store in Paris, courtesy of DH's friend.

Edit : Ballet_russe, I found the plastic tag, its made in tunisia - my apologies about it. I didn't see it the first time, I think its due to the dark colour of the bag (Ebony colour)
