Longchamp Le Pliage: Original vs Fake


This Longchamp bag is made in France. These are photos of an original Longchamp bag. I am not claiming to be an expert. If you want to know if you bought a FAKE Longchamp bag, consult the boutique, capeesh? I DO NOT AUTHENTICATE. Let me reiterate that for your peace of mind, buy only from Longchamp boutique. 


In my previous post, you learned about how to spot a fake Longchamp. To help you visualize the difference between a fake and the original one, I borrowed a fake tote bag.

Longchamp | Fake VS Original (Authentic)

ORIGINAL Longchamp Le Pliage Type M (front)

The photo above features an original RED made in France Longchamp Le Pliage Type M while the GREEN one (3rd photo) is a fake! It was bought for less than PhP 500 ; p

Right now, Longchamp has been manufacturing some of their bags from China. So, if you bought one that is Made in China, it could still be real. Photos below can help you spot the difference so look closely.
