Is it possible that pliage bags are getting even more lightweight? The bags that I bought a few years ago seem to have nylon that is a little thicker, or is it just me? I bought all of them at shops mentioned on the longchamp website, so there shouldn't be a problem...:confused1:

OK, so maybe this wasn't a very good description:shame:It doesn't look different on the outside, but on the inside it just feels different, and the lining seems to be a little bit thinner... don't know if this makes any sense :p

I did not take the time to do this myself, but I suggest that you check the measurements carefully against the specs on the Longchamp site. It looks more authentic than any of the Longchamp le pliage bags I have seen in China. But some of them have been awfully good fakes. Typically the handle on the fakes is in between the length of the real shopping and the real small bag. I have to say that this handle looks longer than any of the fakes I have seen in China.

I am an accountant with a medical supply co that has a factory in China. I go to China almost once a month - August is the only month this year tat I have not been there. If it comes from China, there is a real good chance it could be a fake. Good quality fakes can be had there for $10 - $12 for a large size.

Check this link to eBay's guide on how to tell the real Longchamp les pliages bag. My guess is that the bay in question is a fake. I checked the real ones side by side with the fakes, and some of those fakes are good. But side by side, you can tellt he difference - better embossed logo, thicker interior lining, etc.

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

Can you please authenticate for me? Here's the link: nyshopper.multiply.com/photos/album/53/Longchamp_LM_Nylon_Graphite_Large_LH_

Thank you.

to CH<3 Longchamp, Ballet_Russe or to any of our resident experts here - I just realized now that I may have bought a fake Longchamp Le Pliage years ago. I bought a Tropicale Lumiere bag (stripe canvas) for a hefty price from a reseller from SG. After reading the "how to spot a fake Longchamp" link posted in the Longchamp thread, I noted that there should be a "Modele Depose Type" written debossed at the back flap - upon checking my Lumiere, it didn't have any at all.

So did I buy a fake? Please verify. I really hope not.
