Longchamp where is it made

Feb 22, 1, 14 California www. Yeah, their web site says most are made in France. Mar 9, 1, Somewhere near water. 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.

Nov 19, 1, 3. I have 2 le pliages. One is in france and the other from china. I agree though I'd feel better if they were all from france! May 1, 1, 2. Mine are made in France, but admittedly I don't really care. StarBrite Purse Fanatic! Jun 6, 4, L. I've mentioned this in another thread before, but there is definitely a big difference between the China and France made ones. The first Longchamp I ever bought was a China one because I didn't know to look at the tag.

My other two are made in France. China ones have thinner nylon and the inside lining has a rubbery feeling to it. Kinda hard to describe, but when you feel it you will know what I'm talking about. I now will only buy France ones and it's not because I just prefer one country to the other. Let me clarify that both are made very well and seem to last I just prefer the feeling of a thick nylon as opposed to thin and I'd rather have a lining that doesn't feel like rubber.

StarBrite, yes I know what you mean. My Made in China Pliage does feel rubbery inside! You can order a Le Pliage Leather Personalized bag in the following points of sale:.

The larger of the the two, comes closest to the size of the short handle medium. OMG so many sites advertising large and XL with long handles sometimes called luggage. Longchamp sisters take note! Many thanks again Susan. D Mad Mar 17, This was very informative! Thanks again for all of your research!

Susan Mar 17, Jenn Mar 18, Thanks so much! This site has been really informative! I do have a question though; My bag is presumably an older model due to the zipper pull reading Made in Paris, Made in France , handed down to me by my cousin several years ago. Pretty much, every other detail looks good, but that tab is missing. Also my bag does not have the indentation on the other side, but I read that the older models do not have the indentation.

Susan Mar 19, Send me an email with pictures to reallongchamp snobaffair. A Mar 19, Thanks a lot for this blog post, it was very helpful in confirming and verifying the legitimacy of the Longchamp bag I purchased!!! Much appreciated. Mandy Mar 20, Hi, just wondering if you can help with my query. I recently bought a large black Eiffel Tower tote with white print.

It has all the authentic elements you mentioned on your website except it is made in China. Could this still be authentic? Thanks heaps for your help. Alex Mar 22, Emily Mar 22, Samantha Mar 25, Hey Love! I just wanted to jot a line and say I hardly ever really leave comments on blogs and guides, but this one was so intricate and magnificent! It helped me authenticate a bag.

Thanks for taking the time to do something like this, much love! Susan Mar 27, Sheila Mar 31, Thank you for the very nice review. Andrea Valencia Apr 02, Is that a bad sign? Also, while there are accents in all the right places, the word DEPOSE bugs me — there is a little too much space between the P and the O, and the OSE part of the word seems to be slightly smaller and a bit askew. Do you need pictures to see this better, or is this enough of a sign that I got fakes?

A million thanks! Charlene Apr 02, Hi Ms. Is there really such size as Large Long handle? Cause all I read here are short long handle and medium long handle. Susan Apr 02, Jen Apr 03, Erin Apr 03, And do you know if anyone repairs them?

I really love my bag and am disappointed. Susan Apr 08, You might have gotten a really defective one. Sandy Apr 13, Hi, I just bought a longchamp from a seller who used to collect longchamp bags and decided to sell them. I am guessing i got a older versions? The handles are kinda ticking me off though…. Susan Apr 20, Hi Sandy, all the handles are usually firm in the beginning, but wear down and become soft, but please send me pictures!

Susan, been following you on Twitter, I found this site of yours very informative and helpful. Been using your guidelines for my purchases online, however I need ur help on something. Also one in orange, everything matched including the serial except for the 2nd E of Modele Depose instead of pointing right its on th other side. Please help. Thanks more power! Ana Apr 22, Hi, this article is very informative! Or are the backpacks exactly the same as the totes?

Susan Apr 24, Leah Apr 25, I have refered to this page multiple times when looking to purchase a Longchamp on eBay. I had to purchase one on eBay because I like the older, larger size. I knew exactly what to look for in the pictures! I just wanted to say thanks!

Ria Apr 27, If not can you please advise what is best to check to confirm that it is authentic. Sandy Apr 27, Hi Susan, thank you so much for all your hard work on making this informative article!

I recently bought a longchamp bag from a seller, and the bag looked incredibly real and I really thought it was real, until I read about the handles from your post. I was like if this was a fake its such hell a very good quality fake, everything from zipper, to tag, lining everything matched ur descriptions of a real bag , except…. I felt a tube inside the handles, I freaked out… So I emailed longchamp asking whether the bags should have a tube in the handles, and turns out the answer is yes!

They do!! The following is what the associates responded. Dear Ms. Tse, Thank you for your message and for your interest in our product. We do not recommend shopping at retailers that are not authorized to sell Longchamp products but the serial number you provided appears to be a correct serial number from us. Our Le Pliage nylon bags comes with the tube underneath or inside the leather handles to ensure stability and sturdiness for the straps.

We hope this information was helpful for you and please feel free to contact us for any further questions. Respectfully, Herieth S. Susan Apr 28, Michelle May 05, Hi Susan, thanks for your guide.

Please advise. Karen May 06, Please help me figure out if its authentic or not. By the way, would you just please give me the code of that model? Summer May 09, Hi, I stumbled upon this blog and I fell in love!

This is indeed a super guide! Thanks for sharing. I randomly checked my totes and indeed it contains everything you just said. However, there is one which I bought from an online seller. All authentication points matched up.

What do you think about that? Carmel May 10, The nylon as well also looks a bit shiny, the plastic tag was hard, see through plastic and the care card looked a little cheap. I really need your feedback. Thank you sooo much! Susan May 11, Carmel May 14, I did send you an email with the pics last Saturday. Can you please confirm if you received it? If not, I can always re-send it. Thanks again! April May 11, I just bought a le pliage from an online store and I compared with the existing bag that I bought in air port.

I found out that there is small gap between the zipper that attached to the ground of the bag zipper. Which make that part looks like c. While the one I bought from air port is tightly sealed. Any guide for this? Hi there susan, unfortunately I wasnt able to send you the photos of my maroon pliage, I returned it instead since im not reall sure of its authenticity, however can u help me with planetes?

The seller swears its authentic but im not really sure. Wateez May 15, Jessica May 15, Just got into Longchamp after a recent trip to Paris. Found I really like the Medium handheld, bought one there and just needed more as soon as I returned home. Found an excellent condition navy blue bag on eBay from a seller with great feedback. None what-so-ever. It seems a little flat? Not as embossed as the older version you have shown, certainly way less embossed than the one I bought in Paris.

It is admittedly hard to see if there is a 3rd or not. Is this fishy? Or is due to the fact it is an older bag? Susan May 24, Kha May 23, I stumbled on this page when googling how to authenticate a Le Pliage, and I am so happy I did! Your guide helped me weed out the fakes and I am glad to say I have I got a great deal on eBay on a medium long handle tote and a pouchette!

It is totally possible to find a great deal out there and not just assume that a good price means fake. Glad I helped! Michelle May 24, Hi, really glad to find all these informations about Longchamp! Is it a fake? Some old models come without a tag. Please send me an email for confirmation! Dianne May 25, I bought a le pliage online as well.

The other one I bought looked like teal to me, and the code matched the one on your table. But the other one I bought was sort of royal blue. The code was for the bilberry one. But everything else seemed legit. Can you help me? Leeta May 30, Hope to hear from u. Com May 30, Thanks for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was once a entertainment account it.

Glance advanced to more delivered agreeable from you! By the way, how could we communicate? Aaliyah Gomez Jun 01, All those mentioned matched my bag, as in everything! The only problem is the product code. The bag is graphite but the code is And it seems authentic when it comes to workmanship; I had it for 2 years and been using it almost everyday, but the bag is still intact — very sturdy indeed!

Tina Jun 03, Many thanks for your detailed guide on spotting fakes. Mine says: Longchamp Modele Depose. Is rhat correct? Many thanks! Hi Susan!! Thank you for this very informative post! I sent you an email regarding my LC that I bought online. Hope you can check it when you have the time. Thank you!! Whats up! I will likely be coming back to your weblog for extra soon.

Hi, i just bought the le pliage long handle. Laney Jun 11, Thank you so much for this information Susan. I paid full price for my medium longchamp tote and at the time had no idea that there were fakes out there. I love the simple bag because of the stylish design and functionality. Your guide helped me confirm its authenticity. I plan on purchasing another soon.

Susan Jun 19, Sheena Elaine Borreo Jun 19, Hi, your guide really do help. Just wanna know if le pliage large long handle really do have hole in the side corner?? Because mine doesnt have one. Susan Jun 22, The hole is only on the short handled large and exrta large ones. I hope that makes sense. Kat L. Sep 10, Good thing you discussed this. Thank you. I was just a bit confused with the sizes you have shown as official longchamp website shows dimensions of the large tote as that of what you showed as medium.

Appreciate your immediate feedback. Vera lim Jun 22, Is there really an authentic longchamp like that? Mary Galang Jun 23, Would you know how to identify if a Planetes is authentic or fake?

Is it similar to the details of a Le Pliage? Thanks in advance for your help. Sstan Jun 26, Lydia Jun 26, Thanks for such an informative guide! Richelle Jun 27, Herman Jun 30, Hey there, I would just like to know that whether is there any edition of the tote bag with a full colored striking gold one which is being used by my girlfriend. As far as I am concerned, there is not one image or person is carrying the same bag or is on the website nor shops I can find.

Debbie Jul 09, Could you give us the same to-check list for LMs? The flap does not have the diagonal pattern or any pattern at all. Alen Jul 10, Some buyers in Manila have started to receive their bags and have declared it to be fake ones. I have yet to receive mine. One said that the indent of the jockey on the backside of the flap is not there but everything else checks out.

Could it be possible that the ones Made in China with the more recent models do not have the indent anymore? I am starting to have doubts though I have yet to see for myself once I receive mine.

I will definitely check back on your site once I receive my LC. Alex Jul 12, I just bought my first ever Longchamp Maroquinerie Gold. And also, is the thing inside the bag a plastic transparent one?

Can you please help me with the code of it? Hope to hear from you. Joanne Jul 12, Hi Susan, thank you for your guide! It is great and very informative! I found a les pliage shopping bag that has everything you described to be authentic from the zippers, to the size, to the leather, the stitching, to the handles, etc….

Any thoughts? Have you ever come across a really old authentic bag with no clear tags inside? Susan Jul 13, Hi Joanne, the super old longchamps pliage bags, like the one you described, has the potential to not come with an inside clear tag. So if the other details match perfectly, you got a real one!

Joanne Jul 13, Thanks Susan! I consider myself super fortunate to have found an old one in such awesome condition. Every detail about it matches your description of the older ones perfectly. Thanks again!! Dess Jul 12, Hi Susan and thank u for the tips. Any idea where to find an authentic one? How about this website? Any chance these might be authentic? Hi Dess the link you provided sells fakes. Your best bet is to try ebay. The listing should have a lot of detailed pictures.

If you come across one, I can authenticate it. Dess Jul 13, Hi again Susan. I emailed the site I sent you earlier and they told me they are authentic. Below is their response. Can I please sent you the pics when I receive them so that you confirm?

I will show you more pictures. Dess Jul 15, Susan, Please can you please please please tell me if these items are authentic. Alen Jul 13, The indent on the logo on the backside is there although not as prominent but you did mention that it is so in the type M and L, right?

My question is this: should the stitching be perfect? I ordered for the classic red and the red stitching on the nylon doubled up on the corner of the pocket. This is just right below the flap on the outside. Also the white stitching inside doubles up also in some parts. Is the quality control not up to par?

Marie Jul 14, I purchased an older model off of ebay and everything matched up perfectly except for when I received it the interior handles where they connect to the bag are not exposed leather…it is the same type of diamond pattern leather on the flap. Have you ever seen it where it is finished like that? Thank you so much! You are such a fabulous resource!

Ritz Jul 18, Hope u can help me authenticate. Tina Jul 19, Hi, I recently bought a Longchamp online. Can that be fake? Che Jul 20, Hi Susan, i really admire this page, never saw anything like this, i thought tat already have a tained eye, but this one gave points, i never thought of. I have this taupe le pliage for about years now, which i never doubted to be fake, i use it really ofeten and put heavy things and it does not break or wear our, my concern now is that its code end in and not ,im confused now, i hope to hear from you, thank u so much.

Ally Jul 21, What an amazing guide. I have a cabas in orange that I bought about a year ago. It follows all of your rules. I just had one question. Should the lining be white? VIEE Jul 22, Hi susan! Can u tell me if mine is a fake one? I will sent photos on your email.. On what IG account did you buy? I have plans of buying also but got afraid of fake ones.

Is yours authenticated already? Thank you! Erika Ng Jul 23, Hello Susan! Thank you for the really insightful guide. I checked everything and it is authentic except the back flap. Although I can feel the indention I cannot see the logo. Thank you soo much!! Mercedes Flores Jul 24, Jenn Katherine Jul 28, All of this information was super helpful!

I was wondering if you could provide me with some links to websites where I could get an authentic longchamp bag. I live in the states and just want to make sure I get a real one! Any information would be helpful! Thanks for the tips! I just want to ask if you have any tips on how to know if a Longchamp Maroquinerie in navy blue is authentic?

I would really appreciate your help. Material is different and even stitches. Regarding with the glossy, navy blue is really glossy of lm metal made in china. Limited Edition long champ has 4-folds care card, it does not show there how to fold, only le pliage have care card with how to fold.

Thanks for this awesome site. Its very informative. I was really very apprehensive as it is after all the one of the most imitated bag in the world. But true quality triumphs whatever misgiving I was having. Finally gave in and got myself one and I love it!! I am confuse by the size I got as the one display seems larger,maybe coz it was stuffed with fillers to look better on display.

While the one I bought after inspecting it, it was folded and wrapped up after I paid for my purchase. Only after unfolding it at home, I was confuse by the size. Came online looking for information and came across your site.

The serial number matched the one you have listed ending with in my case since it was black thus it was Sharing my findings as a fellow shopper. I just confirmed that my first longchamp le pliage bag is authentic! Now I just bought a LM pink gold medium short handle. My LM has an inside tag that is made in china. Actually this is my third longchamp bag purchased from her,it seems all of my bags are pretty authentic. Kay Aug 02, I just bought a long handle one in large size at metrodeal online… All the comparisons with your review show that this one is authentic but when i got to read your reply with cynthia that large and XL sizes do not come with long handles, i got really confused.

Era Aug 08, Kristen Aug 09, This is such a helpful guide! Do some of the special edition models not have words imprinted on the back? Tracey Aug 14, Besides everything looks fine and matches your guide. Honestly not too fussed about it because in this day and age almost everything is made in China thanks to globalisation and all. I just wanted to know out of curiosity. Yari Aug 21, I have done the same thing Kim I bought one too and it is from china.

Mary Aug 21, Does the tag really fade over time?
