yeah, i got my LE PLIAGE CUIR large tote in black from Selfridges in London and its made in China, definately authentic considering its a well-known department store that sells branded/designer products. Dont really know whether the quality is the same as other LE PLIAGE CUIR's made in other countries though.
My VEAU FOULONNÉ tote in mocha is made in Mauritius, bought this from the Longchamp boutique in London.

My LE PLIAGE bilberry medium tote is made in France, i wanted to get a black one in short handles , but when I checked the tag of quite a few bags , it seems that all the short/long handles of the black LE PLIAGE were made in China.


Not sure if certain colourways are made in certain countries???

Just got my Nordy order for small short handle BLACK Le Pliage ~ Made in France ;)
My Turquoise is made in China ~ although authentic ( Nordys also) there is a DEFINITE difference when I examined both.
I kept the turquoise anyways cuz I adore the color for summer.

I guess its really a hit or miss then, if yours is Made in France. I do really want a short handle medium in black though, but have been holding off until I do find one that's made elsewhere. My black Le Pliage Cuir was my first Longchamp purchase so I didnt check the label before I bought it.

i remember reading on another thread that someone noticed the difference in quality between a Made in France and a Made in China. I bought the new burgundy colour today which is Made in China.
Comparing this burgundy Made in China with my bilberry Made in France, yes it is true there is a difference, the inside is more rubbery on the Made in China one and the there's more texture on the outside of the nylon on the Made in France.

I completely agree about the inside lining and rubbery/plastic texture of the bags made in China. I was shopping the new fall collection this weekend and really wanted the large LH in Camel (made in China); however, the inner lining was so thick and the stench of plastics so strong that I couldn't buy it. Bought the Bilberry (finally!) instead (made in Tunisia).

yeah, i noticed a huge plasticy smell from the inside of the Made in China Burgundy. Its authentic cos I got it from the boutique in Bond Street London. My Made in France Bilberry did not have this manufactured plasticy smell.
Got to admit, if I didnt like this new burgundy colour much, I would have returned it, but its too nice of a shade and surprisingly suits most coloured clothes.

The sales assistants were very wary when i asked where its made from, they dont allow ppls to check them and had a standard answer of having many factories controlled by Longchamp bla bla , he didnt answer my question at all. I am glad that my new Camel coloured Le Pliage Cuir is made in France. Its a nice darker shade than the Natural from SS12 line.

Yes!! I agree 100% ! If I didn't love the turquoise color so much for summer, I would have returned her in a second ! My 7 yr old daughter said " eeeee your purse smells" when I opened it to get something out !! I was horrified!

Mine is Made in China, it did have a little smell, I left out for a few days, now the smell is gone...I don't have one that is made in France, so I can't compare. But I would think no matter where the bag is made, it should use the same material right?

yeah, but it doesnt seem to be the same on the nylon range. Leather one looks the same to me, havent noticed anything different.
