Name/item description/specific item FIRST:NEW Longchamp Le Pliage Shopping Tote Bag Sunshine medium/large tote 2013 color
Name of the seller: unxpected-sales
Item no.: 321234241945 (was "buy-it-now" so no longer live).

I couldn't get a good picture of the zipper but the YKK, T and 45 are there. But the inside tag has a color number that comes up as Bilberry, which this obviously is not. :nogood::nogood::nogood:
Any help is appreciated. Thank you again so much!

Your last photo showing the tag...I see the zipper material behind it ...can I take a closer look at that (same view) please. Thanks.

Yes, these are what I need. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I agree...the bag is Fake. Substandard materials despite the tag. This is what I meant on the first page of this thread - regarding items with "transplanted" tags. Sorry you had to find out firsthand.

Well, boo. I have never seen one in person up close (I live 5 hours from anything nicer than Target!) but I thought a few parts seemed a little cheap. Seller has 8000+ feedback, too. Back it goes and we'll buy from a store on our Vegas vacation in 2 weeks.

Thanks so much for your time.

Hi! Can you please help authenticate this bag. Longchamp x Mary Katrantzou

Seller is not on eBay.

I put "purseforum" on all photos so that no seller can steal or use the photos.

Also note about the zipper pull... someone told me that you can prolong the gold tone of the pull if you put clear nail polish so I did. This is my own bag, purchased earlier this year. Thank you!

It is Authentic.
I wish you didnt apply anything at all...Longchamp hardware are very hardy...tarnish doesn't settle in right away (maybe years) unless of course one has purposely exposed the bag to constant (minute by minute) extremes of humidity. When they do show signs of wear, it seldom manifests as rust...rather more like a burnishing from the original finish. Chemicals from the polish might damage the metal finish. I hope it wont with yours. :)

Fyi....Most of the rapidly deteriorating hardware I've seen are the ones on counterfeit items. :)

Thank you so much! I did the same on my other longchamp (bought in store) which I use a lot, and even if I put polish on, the gold has faded into silver tone. So is there really a way to prolong the gold?
