I will now look at the tags prior to purchasing. I have decided to keep my little backpack - (1) because it is adorable and versatile; and (2) MIF, which may some day be just a fond memory. I think the MIF's will eventually become very sought after as somewhat of a novelty. So far I have (3) Longchamps made in (3) difference places. Wowee!

Oh, I don't know…the pliages don't last forever and I think many people who buy them just want an economical nylon bag. Of course, I've seen many fake LCs 'made in France'
Enjoy your backpack! :smile1:

They're honestly great bags even if they aren't MIF. people find the MIFs special, but don't doubt any of your LCs just bc they aren't! Many brands do this (ie not all Louis Vuittons are MIF either) just bc of volume. Longchamp is a great brand & the bags are wonderful!

I bought a medium Le Pilage Heritage bag last month (pink, white and black) and pulled it out to use it today. The zipper is nylon!
The zippers on my other bags are metal. I checked the tag and it's Made in China. :shocked:

I know Le Pliage nylon bags can be MIC but I didn't think the Heritage ones were.

My mistake for not checking it carefully before I purchased. At least I got it on sale.....

I don't think it's a big problem where it's made from. I used to work for a Chinese manufacturer and i know lots of famous brands do the production in China. I used to work at Louis Vuitton and i know even it's made in France there are still lots of quality issues. Plus, to be honest, Longchamp is not an expensive brand, you can't expect too much when you spend that much amount. I have mamy brand bags even Chanel, Hermes; they are made in France, so what?　They still have quality issues. I've seen too many posts saying they don't wanna the bag made in China. So please, buy a Hermes or Chanel, even there may be quality issues but at least they are made in France.Sorry if im being rude, just wanna defend my country.

I made my internship in a fashion company in China, and although most people think that China=bad quality, the truth is that it all depends of the quality standards of the brand. Most of the companies go to China, as a way to lower their prices, and they ask for the cheapest version that they could get, but I'm sure that's not the case of Longchamp.

I actually don't feel the difference and when buying, I am not compelled to look for a stock that is MIF. The variation in leather and other materials is not consistent with the country it was made in.

Also, it's true what EGBDF said. I've seen a lot of fakes that are MIF. I guess counterfeiters know people will believe it to be authentic when it's MIF.
