FWIW, I just got a medium Darshan from the S/S11 collection, and it was made in China.
Also checked out the large Darshan with long handles at my local Nordies, and it was also made in China.
I bought one in red recently and mine too has the beige lining. I prefer it to the black lining since it makes it easier to find things.
The red one that I got in 2006, made in France is beige lined.
Just placed an order and asked for the sa to find ones made in France. Seems most are made in china now.
Some designer bags are made in China, there are plenty of OEM factories in China. Coach, Burberry, Kate Spade, even some products of Prada are all made in China.
As long as your mother got the bag from a real longchamp store (not a fashion boutique) then it's authentic. I live in China, hope this helps.

Seems like most of the Darshan bags are Made in China. I have not seen on that is Made in France yet.
I got a Longchamp Victoire MLH from magnums.net and that's Made in France. Then bought another Longchamp Planetes Night Blue in LLH from magnums.net and that is also Made in France. Bought one Arbre de Vie from bloomingdales.com a few months ago in LLH and that was Made in France.

Out of 6 bags I own, all are Made in France include the recent one I bought in Lille. What surprise me that I finally tracked down the pink one I want with the Eiffel (ironically) picture on it, supposedly limited edition and it was Made in China??? I can definitely tell the differences. Leather is very stiffed and the logo stamps are not clean nor deep. Hardware details are poorly done and the whole bag smell funny and not as smooth inside. I guess I was spoiled all these years because I always thought Longchamp are made in France, always and never even bother to check tag till now 
Currently have 5 longchamps with me and only 1 is made from China. Usually the classic le pliage style that comes with drawings on it and planetes are made from France. They are slowly phasing out the normal le pliage to China as according to my SA..hence the rush of people wanting to get those made in France before they completely shift the production line to China.
Just bought a small, long handle Le Pliage tote in mauve from the Longchamp boutique store and saw that it was made in China. The two previous ones in Large with long handles that I bought from Bloomingdales less than a year ago (colors: Graphite and Navy) were made in France. I personally don't see a difference in quality between the made in China vs. the made in France bags. I have to say that I am slightly bias on where a bag is made from, especially if I am spending more and I did personally go through each and every bag in Bloomingdales to find the ones made in France. Since the made in china tote was from a flagship store, it can't be a fake and I am happy with my purchase. It was on sale and I like the color. As long as it holds up to expectations, then all is good.
