I need help with a couple of bags I bought at a thrift store.
I need to know if they are real. I have always wanted a Longchamp bag and found these two.
The larger on is a raspberry pink/red and the smaller is an orange. Both have a print appliqued on them of a woman running and also a woman haling a taxi. Longchamp is appliqued in the middle.
The leather is a textured brown leather with sueding on the back. The back of the top flap says 'LES PLIAGES LONGCHAMP TYPE, MODELEDEPOSE MADE IN FRANCE' the 'in' and france' both are missing their N.
There are no tags sewn inside.
I have searched the Taxi pattern online and only find one website that appears to be selling fakes.
Did Longchamp make this pattern and how can I know if it is real? I am going on a European cruise in Sept and don't want to carry a fake.

They're fake. The tip off is the pattern on the leather and the double seams. I'm not an authenticator, so I can't tell you if these patterns were ever made by Longchamp. But if you find an authentication guide that tells you how to look at the pattern on the leather, you can double check.
 
Hi there! I very stupidly bought a beige Longchamp Planetes medium tote from eBay without first consulting tPF and it arrived a few days ago, unfortunately I believe it's fake. The seller is adamant that it's real but I compared it to my larger black Planetes tote that I bought from Paris last year and there are several obvious differences. Could these differences be due to styling changes/age of the bag? I told the seller (mommysellsthings on eBay) that i am taking it into a Longchamp boutique to have it authenticated and she said that their opinion would be "worthless" if they aren't familiar with older bags...

There's a long list of things that give me pause, but here's a few of the most obvious ones:
- zipper isn't YKK
- zipper pull doesn't show level of detail it should, i.e., you don't see the horse's reins. The connector also looks cheap and thin, almost like a paperclip
- horizontal line under Longchamp logo on flap
- paper tag looks wrong. no interior tag either.
- "leather" doesn't feel like leather, and there's a stamp on the underside of the flap

shouldn't this say "Planetes"? Also, current selling price is $155, but she says she didn't buy this recently - "found it in the back of her closet while her kids were at camp"

This is fake unfortunately. May i suggest buying one in Europe on your trip? Getting one from the Longchamp boutique will make your trip memorable and your money worth it.
