I bought this bag pre-loved. I don't know much about it. It was described as vintage, so it would have been made before the clear tags with serial number.

It's from the canvas luggage collection from the 1980s, here is an ad that shows that collection from 1985
By the way, I recognize your name from YouTube.
Hello! I bought this bag from Mercari. I was so excited to get this color in excellent condition, that I didn't do my due diligence and look over thoroughly and now I think it might be a fake. The red flags to me are the lining for the top zipper which is a different color from the bag - it wasn't that visible to me in the seller's photos and the handles, they are stiff and thiner comparable to other Le Pliage's I have.

It's authentic.
It's a second or remainder made specifically for the outlets, hence why it has the brown zipper.
One of my pliage i bought at the outlet also has a brown zipper. There are other indications that it was made for the outlet but I am not going to reveal it here.
New to this LC Authenticate thread...please let me know if I'm posting incorrectly and I will learn from my mistakes.
Longchamp Medium shoulder? Pied de Poule, from fall'22, purchased on Poshmark from preciousandfew, who has great reviews but since its been so long since I purchased a Longchamp I just wanted to triple check here too... The last time I purchased a Longchamp was in Spain 7+ years ago and this tote is smaller than my black le pliage medium tote but again I'm not up to date with what's been going on at Longchamp just loved this style, etc.
16.5 inches x 10.5 inches x 6.5 inches deep

All of your close-ups are blurry which is usually unacceptable. However, from what little i can see I don't see any red flags.
I'm so sorry and will retake photos but apologies if my hands are still a bit shaky. I must have had shaky hands but tried to be as still as possible when taking these photos. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.

Sorry if I missed you @seton . This is the bag/pouch I bought from @mic627bag on Poshmark. The only irregularity is that there are two leather Lonchamp 1948 tags with numbers I can't read on the back and a transparent "made in France" tag under each one. They're each sewn into the side seam of the bag, one on each side.
There's also no writing on the back of the flap, but maybe that's age or model.

i want pics of all the matetial it came with, clear pic of the base of the straps, the tag flat on a surface straight on and not from an angle
