Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir - your opinions

Thanks everyone for the replies. I recently tried to source for a medium cuir online from last season (because this season's colours are just not for me) and was about to purchase a bag but had a nagging suspicion that the bag I was looking at might be a very good fake. I mean, the seller seemed honest enough but I was not convinced but I did not have sufficient photos to possibly get it authenticated at the LC thread. Hence, I am just posting some questionable photos here with hopes of getting some advice from you ladies who own cuirs.

The bag seems pretty ok material and colour wise but the questionable one is the back of the leather tag. I remember the leather tag should follow the colour of the bag, but this one is in white. Does anyone here have a similar leather tag with a white backing? (See picture 3)

Thanks!

Hi there, I just checked mine and the back of the tag is the same color as the front of the tag (although it's a slightly duller shade). The tag is the same color as the exterior of the bag.
 
Thanks for the reply. I am pretty convinced that it's a fake instead of a manufacturing defect. I am not sure if LC ever had this shade of red either. Many ladies have bought from the seller, probably thinking it is authentic and they are getting a real good deal.

Hopefully the ladies will be more vigilant when shopping online, esp for preorders! :(

Here is my Blue Cuir with the back of the leather tag also blue, albeit a duller shade of blue than the front of the tag.

Posted in this forum a few weeks back asking for opinions regarding the le pliage cuir and i would just like to say...
I FINALLY WENT AHEAD TO BUY IT :D
well actually my friend did. It is currently with her in France while she's holidaying there.

The blue was sold out unfortunately so i got the black instead! Figured it would be easier to match my clothes anyway.. + it is MIF so i am really happy.

Coming from Singapore, 330euros before VAT refund is really such a great deal! Am so excited!
Will post a picture when i finally get my hands on it hehe.

Yes they are! Everything is more expensive in Singapore.. :( Envious of tpf-ers who live in Europe. hahah
I got the small size because i'm quite petite and don't carry that many items around anyway :D

It seems the Blue will be carried over to next season so you can still get it in the future. Well done on the MIF Black! :smile1:

yes that's what i heard! Hmm.. if i am lucky i could get it at a discount during the end of season sales.. But i doubt there would be any left! Despite the higher prices where i live, longchamp gets snapped up real quick!

Congratulations on your new Cuir! You will love it and hello to a fellow Singaporean. I hear you on the much higher LC prices in Singapore. Please check your PF inbox. Will be PM-ing you in just a bit.
