apparently so. must be a bit "vintage" because the style doesn't look current.

everything (hardware, logo, etc) looks as it should

Hello,
Calling all Longchamp experts! If someone could authenticate for me that would be much appreciated. Are there enough pics? Please let me know if anything is needed and I will contact the seller. I couldn't find anything on what pics are needed for longchamp's so please let me know.

looks good to me! the shape, pockets, and zipper hardware are all correct. i love this bag!

i've never heard of a fake Legende, but there is always a first so you are doing the right thing to double-check.

Thanks so much ballet_russe! Appreciate your help!

perfect! I'm 100% sure it's authentic. one hint for checking authenticity: make sure the "modèle déposé" on the heat stamp has the correct accents. yours passes the test. (and everything else on it looks perfect too.)

Now about your bag... It's from the Planete collection. The bag you have has a shape is identical to the Pliage medium "shopping." Planetes are similar to Pliage, but they are made out of a thicker material and their straps always are the same color as the body.

no problem. thanks for letting me know you checked the thread!

Hi ballet_russe,
Can I trouble you to check this one out too? Do you need more pics? I'm sure it's fine but it seems really "slouchy". I missed the other one and emailed the seller but they never got back to me . I'm so surprised how different the duck blue look in different pictures. If this one is good, I won't let it pass by!!! TIA!!

sorry for the delay in responding! That one was real too. The Legende bags sometimes look slouchy when they aren't stuffed full.

id agree that the 1st and 2nd look authentic, irl, id say the color is somewhere between those two. the 1st pic was way too bright, and the 2nd one is pretty dark
