"Longchamp Le Pliage Tote" Fake or Authentic?

(Picture No. 1) Comes with the dust bag, the little card and the Longchamp Le Pliage 

Name: Longchamp Le Pliage "Shopping"
Type of Bag: Tote
Size: Small
Handle: Long
Color: Orange
Material: Water resistant Nylon


I ordered this online and just arrived today. I never used the bag yet. I bought it like 45% off from it's original price amounting to $125. So I am wondering if it's authentic or fake or a good copy.
Let me show you the images of the tote.

(Picture No. 2) The dimensions are the same

(Picture No. 3) They said you have to watch out at the spelling, some fakes "G" look likes "C"
So as you look at the pic its "G". And there's one thing,
the number nine suppose to look just like at the pic not this one "9"..

(Picture No. 4) If you see the "YKK" & "T".. its authentic!

(Picture No. 5) They said that the authentic longchamp, the leather should have
a cognac color and you can see some dark spots in there.
So its probably authentic! If you notice it.

(Picture No. 6) The leather should have diagonal lines.

(Picture No. 7) Suppose to have like that! I don't know how its called. (interior)

(Picture No. 8) Original Prym 6/4 B

(Picture No. 9) there's 45 at the zipper. I dont know if you can see that.

(Picture No. 10) Here's another one. I dont know how its called. Should have like that at the
pocket and interior this one is on the pocket

(Picture No. 11) The handles should be flat as they said. I think mine is flat.

(Picture No. 12) For the lighter color of Longchamp Le Pliage the interior is white
For the darker color of Le Pliage the interior is black.

(Picture No. 13) The tag inside.. I guess this is the style number

(Picture No. 14) Long Handle approximately it has 8 inches drop

(Picture No. 15) That's the back..

The leather should be smooth. The stitching should be perfect. The nylon should be not that reflecting when its expose to sunlight. The inside should be kinda rubbery feeling when you touch it.

I am still doubting about the bag because of its price it is so cheap almost 50% off when I bought it. They promised me that it comes from the factory itself (Longchamp) and I've read something, somewhere and the seller also claimed its authentic from the factory, and they also stated why its cheap because they probably the imperfect one and the factory dispose it. For example the stitches, scratch probably or blabla.. etc..

They may be right because when I looked at my bag there is some imperfection about it. See picture 5, you can see the stitch is hanging or not cut (but i can work with that).. The second one, i found that there is some kinda black color from the handle.. See picture below...

(Picture No. 16) See the encircle.. That's what I'm talking about.

And I am also worried about the style number (Pic no. 13), I dont get it some blog I've read (How to spot a fake longchamp) referring to the style number it doesn't match. I don't know or I just probably didn't get it?

Overall, I like the bag, it is authentic I believe and there's nothing to worry about it. The little thing is the 2 imperfections about the tote. It doesn't bother me or anything and the price is really good. I paid it for $ 68.75 (shipping and handling fee to Philippines not included "priority mail") plus the waiting for the bag to arrive it took more than a week or less.? I dont even remember. All I remember now is I have the Bag!!!

I am totally happy with it.! If you're interested to ask where do I buy my bag or which website just comment.


If you have any questions and suggestions or even comments. Just leave a message below.! Thanks!
Have a great day!

Thinking about what to do on my 24th Birthday!

(Reminiscing Introduction...)
Looking back at my previous Birthday experienced I never really have one that makes me remember that very moment, I do have few but not quite. Let me say 18th birthday of mine way back 7 years ago was dreaming a big ceremony like a princess dancing with 18 men including your dad, friends, cousin and all that 18 roses, 18 cakes.... But none of those happened to me because I knew we couldn't afford to make that happened, so it stays as a dream. Let me tell you what I really want for my 18th birthday before and please don't laugh at me, seriously. Anyways it all started watching the Panday teleserye in ABS-CBN were Jericho Rosales (a Filipino actor) was the leading man of the said teleserye, he was so famous back then. And I'm one of his biggest fan. I intend to made this big illusions of mine hoping to dance with him at my debut. Because seeing this famous stars having their debut is spectacular and that's every lady should have on their 18th birthday, a very memorable, romantic and special celebration. I had to wake up on the moment that nothing of those will seem to be happening. I guess some of us also dreams that. For me to dream is how you inspire yourself and  dreaming is one reason to live. So I guess there's nothing wrong about that.

When my family knew about my unreachable dream they are laughing and mock at me when they remember. Of course I felt bad, down, and embarrassed. But that never stop me from dreaming... Anyway's we're talking about my what to do on my 24th birthday.. HELLO? LOL. Let me continue...

Just sort of remembering the old past.. So now it's been a long time figuring out what to do on my 24th b-day and I am like all over the place I don't know what to do. So let me start with an idea on my head, a dream, a wish I have..


Thinking about my 24th Birthday: (Thoughts, Want, Dream, Etc.)

1.) Going to restaurant with my husband. Wear some decent and nice dress with matching platform pump shoes.

Platform Pump heels.. Love to have it! Every woman should have one of this.

I love the dress especially the color. (I didn't realize that this is my  Favorite color) LOL

2.) Treat myself ( Unfortunately, I already did )

3.) Thinking to BUY a new phone but first SAVE! I think this belongs to no. 2? (nah, im still happy with phone)

iPhone 5?

4.) Night swimming with hubby.. It's not gonna happen because my husband is out of town for work.

5.) Ride a bike and of course travel, Alone? not working.

6.) Go to Bohol.

7.) Own a tarsier?

So cute!!!

8.) Jog like 25 miles.. Uhm.. I'll think about that.

9.) own another dog...

I always wanted a Shar pei because it's so adorable. Look at her wrinkled skin..  cutie pie

Here's my baby.. Her name is Chacha. I always love her and always will be.

10.) Fishing around Apo Island... My husband always telling me before that he wanted to go fishing with me but I am so afraid of deep sea especially I dont know how to swim. LOL.

11.) Learn how to swim? and scuba diving.. (nice idea)

Scuba diving

12.) Mountain climbing with my dog ( well, yeah! Thats a better idea and exciting too) but where? is it safe? (such a coward little B***)

13.) Prepare some delightful dishes for bday.. Its a good idea though. Staying at home with family (Mom and Bro).. I so wanted to prepare the Beef Wellington and Scallops. Hmm.. will try it soon.

Mouth watering and juicy meat - "Beef Wellington".. I'm a fan of Chef Gordon and I saw him prepare this so it made my interest.

"Scallops" An additional recipe I saw chef Gordon made. It looks Yummy though..

14.) Videoke together with family and have a shot of Tequila or Margarita. Sounds good.

I am always curious about the "Body Shot Tequila" version.. Hmmm..  Hubby? Let's try this.  ;)

15.) Stay home and make some more blogs.. (idea from another blogger) Well I'd say PERFECT!

16.) Sleep all day

17.) Clean the house? NOPE! (hate doing chores)

18.) Go see a movie..

19.) Go shopping... I wanted to buy a bunch of new clothes so probably that makes me happy. "Shopaholic" (not literally)

20.) Skype to skype with my husband..

My Husband.. I so miss him

21.) I always wanted to ride a roller coaster... STAR City!!! or DISNEY LAND

Roller Coaster.. This is so much of adrenaline.. Love that!

22.) I wish to go to Shibuya, Japan because I wanted to take a picture the of Hachiko's statue. I watched the movie and i'm so touched.. He's such a loyal dog. You know sometimes I compare a person and a dog, sometimes it makes me think that dog is better because of very loyal attitude and dog's can't fake things. That's why I got my baby Chacha. She's so loving and cute.

23.) I wanted to have a fit body before my birthday. working out is an option or maybe not.

I like her abs..

24.) Lastly.. I probably wanted to go Paris with Adrian... Experience the overwhelming beauty of Europe. But there's not much time for that. 11 more days to go before my Birthday comes. But will put that on the list.

Eiffel Tower, Paris

A dream is not always a dream.. If you have one or more, then make it come true. What's the point of living in this planet if you always stay in your little box. If you wanted to make that come true then work it, that will makes you happy.

I hope it helps some of my ideas. I guess this all ends in saying Ciao my friend! More blogs coming soon..
