So bottomline, the ones made in China are fake or authentic? Superior or inferior? Sorry, I just ordered online and seller just informed me that they were made in china. All of her posts says that they are guaranteed authentic.

China made ones are indeed authentic. However, i have particularly noticed, being I own both China and France ones, that the bags made in France have thicker Nylon and the inside lining doesn't feel rubbery. Both are great though
hello ladies,
I'm new to Longchamp and i would like to buy a large tote (for books and laptop) and a mini tote (for keys, wallet and other personal essentials). Where can I get them? Nordstrom is kinda pricy. Ebay is full of fakes and I cannot tell which one is real and which one is fake.
Please help!
Thanks

If all these bags are now made in China than the price should go down - if not - we are being ripped off big time.
I am old enough to remember when Coach was Made in NYC, then Made in USA, then Made in Brazil and finally Made in China - the quality was never as good - I dont blame China - I blame Coach for downgrading its materials and workmanship

I just recently gave away my longchamp bag. I should have checked where it was made, because after taking it out a couple of times in the rain...the bag started to fall apart. It was awful! the fabric started to bubble/buckle. I even took it back to the longchamp store and asked why this was happening. They couldn't supply an answer and I've been fustrated ever since. I have other vintage Longchamp, but will probably never buy a Longchamp again.
Here is another interesting fact I just learned from the LePliage line:
Department stores such as Nordstroms, Saks, Bloomies sell a different LePliage then the ones in a Longchamp boutique. This refers to the large lepliage - I noticed this a couple weeks ago when I compared a Longchamp boutique one and a Nordstroms one. I live in SF and close to the Longchamp store and so I walked in and asked them. They said department stores are given a larger le pliage with longer handles - they don't know why but they said a lot of customers have wondered why sizes are different between the two but the prices are the same ($145 for the large tote).
Along the lines of the China made ones...people have been saying they are moving their entire le pliage line to China but I find this hard to believe since I still see France ones all the time in department stores and in the Longchamp I was just in a few days ago. If anyone is looking for a france one and is near SF, go to the Longchamp store because almost all of theirs are from France...and it is true...the nylon from France is thicker than the China one - confirmed from one of the workers as well. But they are both still beauitful bags. I own China ones and France ones.
I just bought a France one and it actually had a leather tag in the bag saying made in France. Don't think they will be making leather tags of Made in China...

Hi everyone, I just bought my first Longchamp Le Pliage at a boutique in my city that is an authorized Longchamp seller. They sell Longchamp leather bags, wallets, etc.
When I got my Pliage home I looked on the tag that is inside the bag and it says "Made In China"!! I thought all authentic Longchamps were made in France. I feel like I've purchased a fake, but it couldn't be because this store is a legitimate boutique.
Has anyone had this experience??? Are some authentic Longchamp Pliage bags made in China??

I have a couple made in China and one made in France. I don't see any difference in the quality.
I don't have a problem with items that are made in China, but when I buy a French brand, I expect that it's made in France. It's kind of like if you buy an LV item, and you find it was made in USA. Or, if I bought a Tod's purse, I'd expect it to be made in Italy. It just doesn't feel as authentic. Maybe it's just my own personal hangup.
I know exactly what you mean, if you want a made in China bag you can get one at TopShop or H&M, if you buy a premium bag you have different expectations, I have two Mulberry's that are made in Turkey and have had issues with the quality of both, since then I always check the 'made in' label.
Having said that my Le Pliage is made in China too and is definitely genuine, I needed this style for upcoming travel plans and it was the best option for a light but large bag.
