Longchamp: How to Spot a Fake


Read this before proceeding...

This bag is owned by my sister. It was bought in Las Vegas, USA but Made in China. To see a Longchamp bag made in France, click here. 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.

This type of Longchamp tote bag never goes on sale. If you bought it any cheaper than the converted rate, hmmm... you know the saying if it seems too good to be true, it probably is, right?!
