Hi Ladies,

Just got this and wondering if it's real? The leather feels really soft - and it's definitely leather (I held a flame to it!!! Eeek! But it passed the test :smile1:).

Also, anyone know what model/style it is? I'm not really familiar with the leather bags. It's approx 11" x 7.5" by my measurements.

Thanks!

Is this authentic? The pic doesn't help much but have heard that fakes will look shinier. This looks good?




I'm going to meet the seller in person to inspect and am trying to compile a list of things to check - reinforced buttons, non-hairy/flaky leather lining, zipper. What color should the taupe lining be?

Hi, i just received my pliage today which i bought from ebay...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Authentic-LO...e-bag-/180550541425?pt=AU_Women_Bags_Handbags
it's a white -M long handle
(CH<3Longchamp has already said that it's real)

but one thing is bothering me...the embossed logo, it's not deep enough (i compare it with my other longchamp) and it doesn't seem that it's embossed when i look at the back of it....
i attach the pics here, what do you think? TIA again

Be careful with that flame test. They use it all the time in the markets in China. Bags that are clearly not real leather pass the test.

That said, your bag looks real to me. I have both real ones and fakes. SOme of the fakes are pretty darn good copies, too. You were smart to inspect it carefully.
