My new handbag collection..collection sangat kan..ala bag murah je ..untuk rakyat marhaen macam aku...
Dalam hati memang
TAK NAK sangat bag Longchamp, sebab banyak sangat fake kan..banyak je jual design sama 30,40 hengget..
TAPI..bag Longchamp ni memang bag yang paling senang la nk bawak..sebab zip satu je ..panjang n luas pulak tu menganga..tak banyak compartment...memang senang yang amat nk sumbat barang2 bagi orang yang busy mcm aku..harga pun takdela riban2 yang mcm ni..kecuali yang leather tu..lain la kan..
Yang ni limited edition..sangat minat burgundy color..but hubby cakap susah nak match with outfit..maklumla..i beli bag kadang2 & jarang2..lainla kau memang beli bag 2,3 bijik tetiap bulan kan.
Ni Burgundy color..cun bukan?
By the way..this is mine...

CAN U SPOT A FAKE LONGCHAMP?
THE LEATHER PATTERN
Authentic: Has a diamond pattern, caused by relatively straight diagonal lines.
Fake: Can have a lightly-indented fish-scale texture, round or uneven pebble-like texture, or smooth
BACKSIDE OF LEATHER FLAP
Authentic: The jockey logo should be indented in. Color is a beige (turns tan after prolonged use) and it has really short hairs to the point that it looks smooth. Note: For medium and larger totes, the indent is less apparent. You can still feel the indent though! The snap should read “ORIGINAL PRYM 6/4B”
Fake: There is no trace of a jockey logo; it is completely flat. Can be a light pinkish/dusty rose or a brown and looks like it has “no hairs” or “too hairy”. The snap reads differently then mentioned above
Authentic
Fake : Button reads GUANG TONG
HOT-STAMPED GRAPHICS
Authentic:
- Front: The Longchamp Jockey logo is perfectly centered. The jockey and horse’s head are point to the left. The older models have a hot-stamped line underneath the logo, but the newer models do not have this line.
- Back: The hot-stamped words should be spelled like below. Take note of the line breaks. In blue, the name of the size/model changes accordingly:
“CABAS”: Rectangular Tote model (No Zipper)
“SAC À DOS”: Backpack Model
“SHOPPING”: Long Handles, Small and Medium Totes
TYPE “S”: Short handles, Small Tote
TYPE “M”: Short handles, Medium Tote
TYPE “L”: Short handles, Large. Travel Luggage
TYPE “XL”: Short handles, Extra Large. Travel Luggage

Check for the hyphen ( – ). Check that the first accent mark on the E is pointing down to the right. The second and third accent marks on the E are pointing up to the right.
Older versions read:

HANDLES
Authentic: The handles are pretty flat. The Diamond pattern should also be visible. The handle’s side edge is painted black/dark brown. You could actually see the division of the folded leather straps, indicated by the dashed (——) lines below. The handles are basically thick leather folded in two, with nothing in between.
Fake: The straps are round; almost cylindrical, because the synthetic “leather” is wrapped around a thick rope for reinforcement and shape. If the fake straps did not include a rope, the thin synthetic material would be too flimsy to form an arch shape when hanging the bag, not to mention that the straps would not be able to handle much weight, and rip! Furthermore, the strap’s side edge has binding or poor finishing. The binding is usually the same color as the strap or in some cases, mimics the black edge of the real deal. Just remember, Binding on straps = Fake.
STITCHING
Authentic: Front of the flap has beige stitching. Backside of the flap has brown stitching. There is double stitching on corners and edges where there would most likely be strain.
Fake: Front and backside of the flap usually have super white stitching.
The Zipper & Zipper Pull:
Authentic:
- Is marked with a “YKK” and “T” on both sides of the zipper, and a “45”
- The round zipper pull reads “LONGCHAMP” on top of the jockey logo and “1948” below, on both sides.
- After prolonged use, the “gold” on the pull wears off and thus becomes lighter. Not sure about the Nickel and Bronze tags.
- Older versions of the round zipper tag can read “LONGCHAMP” on top of the horse and rider logo while below the logo, “PARIS” is written on one side and “FRANCE” is written on the other side of the round tag. Older versions use a different font for 1948, so if this is the case, rely on other details instead.
Fake:
- Does not have a “YKK” and “T” on both sides of the zipper, and a “45”.
- Zipper tag possibly reads “LONCCHAMP”. The font for “1948” could be off.
- After prolonged use, the round “gold” pull has traces of copper-colored discoloration. Not sure about the fake Nickel and Bronze tags.
