I'm pretty sure I have a bag with that spelling. If you search the LC forum for Marocco, others have too. I wouldn't worry about it being fake if you bought it from an authorized seller. You could always have it authenticated here for peace of mind.

Oh, and we'd love to see a picture of your new LC! :smile1:

Thanks for the confirmation.

I'll take a picture tomorrow.

Maybe it will be worth more! in resale due to the error!

I bought my Longchamps and now don't use it. It is rather large and I am 60 plus. I was in public and man man said rather loudly to his companion - have you noticed the older women get the bigger the bags they carry? All that money and I haven't used it since. And that was around 3 years ago..

Here it is. I've been on a drawstring kick and I loved the smaller, but not tiny, size of this one, and the leather is so soft.

lol, I don't think it will be worth more due to a misspelling!

What a shame that a stranger could be so rude! Please try not to let other people, especially those you don't know, influence what you love. I know what you mean though. My mother-in-law's boyfriend forever ruined my enjoyment of one of my favorite movies when I stupidly thought it would be a nice idea to share it with them.

Actually, my husband has made some rude comments about my new Longchamp, which has dampened my enjoyment of it a bit. I'm going to try to carry it anyway. I think it was the color that he objected to. Honestly, the orange accent wouldn't have been my first choice but I have a scarf with both colors that looks great with it.

I really like the colors! I've never seen that style before. What is the leather like?
I wish Longchamp made more of their straps adjustable like this one!

Thank you! The leather is very smooth and soft, not as soft as lambskin but nearly. It just has a feeling of quality. It is lightweight and easy to carry. I like the strap doubled but wish it had a keeper to hold the doubled strap together.

Your bag is gorgeous, and I love the color. I carry my bags because "I" love and enjoy them, no matter what my husband or anyone else says. All he ever says is, "why do women have so many handbags, and men have one wallet?" I just ignore him, and I keep buying them!!! :D I also asked him, "why do you have 50 neckties?" Then he shuts up......LOL

My new large black Planetes (delivered today!) from Nordstrom.com was made in Romania. I feel lucky to have nabbed one from their website because it was unavailable and sold out immediately after I placed my order. I figured the Planetes are harder to come by since they are discontinued. I think made in Romania appeals to me more than made in China.

I ordered a second large black Planetes, and this one was made in France! Will keep the MIF and not the made in Romania. :D

My first fashion job was at Longchamp in Nice, France in 2002. At the time all Le Pliage was made in France and most of the other items were Made in France. That changed soon after with the Galaté collection made in Tunisia. Now many many bags are made abroad. It's sad for the company that used to be a small French family-owned company. I guess if you want to go global and keep prices low, you have to produce outside of the EU.
I also worked for Armani and we had to remove the "Made in China" stickers on the expensive watches before bringing them to the sale floor.
