I was at my local boutique to get another longchamp in red and it does really suprise me that the ones that made in china is totally different from the ones i had (fig)!! the leather embossed is more precise than the china ones and the leather quality is really different from the france ones, it did bug me so in the end i choose not to get any, i intend to get the limited edition ones since it's still made from france and some more the handle is in white silverish color, planning to get another fig!!

Well, since I live in the U.S. I prefer to buy quality handbags made in the U.S. My second choice is made in Italy or France. I do not like China for various reasons which I probably should not mention.

I am just glad that I wanted the color Fig anyway and it is made in France.

It's not an insult to China; merely an observation. If you were to say that American cars are generally less reliable than Japanese cars, would that be an insult to the US?

It is well-known that many Chinese factories are unscrupulous in their methods, be it their inhumane treatment of workers, "fudging" of wages, and a general lack of quality control.

Those issues, coupled with a lack of government regulation, generally equal an inferior product.

I was surprised to find that my larger sized le pliage is made in China! a year ago mum bought the same model and it was made in france..

however! ive had my smaller sized pliage for more than a year and ive used and abused it like crazy....carried litre bottles of water, groceries etc and its still in great condition! shows that even tho its not made in france the workmanship is superb! So if its quality that you're worried about ..dont! Longchamp wouldn't stick their name on it if it was dodgy

Hi! I recently purchased a Longchamp Purse and the tag says that it was made in Tunisia. Anyone know of a site that would contain information on how to authenticate this Purse? I have pictures of the Purse including the embossed logo, lining, inner tag, and numbers on the flip side of the tag. It appears to be from the Roseau collection - definitely not from the newest collection. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

the only site i know of is the ebay site on pliages. i'm very very sure that bag is authentic. i have never seen a fake longchamp leather bag.

many of the leather bags are made in tunisia.

I emailed magnum.net and asked them and they emailed me back that certain models in the more popular colors are made in China because they cannot keep up with the demand. I am interested in the color Fig and she said that color is made in France and is in stock so I ordered it. :yahoo:

Colors like black are definitely made in China. She said certains colors are made in China and certain colors in France so it varies for example currently Nutmeg is made in France but Pistachio is made in China. She said that contacting Longchamp directly at their store in SoHo , NYC at 866-LONGCHAMP and they can confirm where the bag is made.
