If the letters are blurry or uneven, or if the horse logo is off-center, the bag is likely a fake. UPDATE ON HOW TO AUTHENTICATE YOUR LONGCHAMP LE PLIAGE Martha Sta. Barbara Thursday, September 08, 2011 17 Comments. I have 8 Longchamp Le Pliages, and they all have 3- fold care cards with the same stuff written in everything. So I conclude that yes, a Le Pliage's Care Card MUST be accurate with other Le Pliages.

The authentic LC bag's leather material has rich tan color, with a red/orange undertone. The leather is slightly rough but still smooth to the touch. The fake LC has almost the same shade of leather material. Looking closely, both leathers have subtle uneven color finishing with light and dark patches. But, it is very noticeable that the leather pattern of the authentic LC has defined diamond patterns. This is not evident on the fake LC. In fact, the pattern on the fake LC almost looks like fish-scale and is very smooth to the touch. Anonymous I have an authentic bag (made in France) bought in 2006 in France and some of the features do not match (ie no visible stamp from the underside of the flap) as well as an authentic (made in China) bag bought in 2013 from the store in NYC and the underside of the straps is a lighter color (like the fake).

Both were bought from Longchamp retail stores and not from a boutique, Longhcamp counter inside a retailer, etc. Please keep this in mind that the brand has changed over the years. I will note that the quality of my newer bag is poorer compared to my older one and I did consider returning it, but noticed after I had used the bag that it was made in China. If you can, get your hands on a non made in China Longchamp from an authentic retailer (I've heard the newer ones are only made in China? Correct me if wrong!).

They are absolutely everywhere! Though, whether the bags are authentic or not is another question.

I also have nothing better to do while strolling around downtown that I made a game out of it: the “Longchamp Pliage Authentication” game. Here’s a super detailed guide to train you to spot a fake Longchamp in a matter of seconds and from a few feet away! It gets tricky because there are so many different types of these fake totes out there with multiple modifications, and the design has become even more sophisticated throughout the years.

I know there are already numerous guides on how to tell when a Longchamp Pliage bag is fake, but I haven’t found one yet that I’m satisfied with, probably because most have little to no pictures connected to their descriptions.

Feel free to drop me a message on our (it would be awesome if you liked our page too 🙂!) with pictures and I would gladly help you authenticate a Longchamp Pliage for you. Please note: is not reliable.
