Longchamp Serial Number Meaning
Hello anonymous and welcome to my blog. I have published your comment because I do not find anything offensive about it.:) Anyway, Yes, there are Longchamp care cards that come in four folds. And if I'm not mistaken, they are those from the LE LCs such as the anniversary edition metallic bags (Pewter, Blanc, and Bronze). Although I cannot vouch for other LCs because I only have the Metallic Pewter and Le Pliages. However, for Longchamp Le Pliages, they only come in 3 folds. This is accurate for Tunisia, China, and France- made Le Pliages.
If you have read and checked the pictures closely, I have compared not only the sectioning, but also the words, phrases, and sentences written on the four- fold and three- fold cards. I don't think Longchamp will release care cards with errors in grammar and translation. After all, it is a luxurious brand, and it has to adhere to the strictest standards.:) I think what the LC representative meant is that every country produces their own care cards because LC outsources their production. But I think every manufacturing country should provide the SAME CARE CARD for a particular style. I have 8 Longchamp Le Pliages, and they all have 3- fold care cards with the same stuff written in everything.
Longchamp bags will have genuine leather handles that will feel soft and smooth to the touch, not rough and stiff. Look at the serial number on the white tag inside the bag and make sure it matches the serial number on the plastic bag that covers all new Longchamp bags.
So I conclude that yes, a Le Pliage's Care Card MUST be accurate with other Le Pliages.:) I do not claim myself as an authority in authenticating Le Pliages. These are based on my observations as an avid fan of the brand. Download ultraman zero the revenge of belial subtitle indonesia english. If you do not agree with what is written in it, I understand because everything is still up to your judgment.
Hey, if you have more useful information and you think it is beneficial to LC fans, why not post it here?:) For more information about the care cards, you can also check Longchamp De Manille's multiply store. I think she also made a post on how to authenticate LCs. And if my memory serves me right, she mentioned in a post that Le Pliages that have four- fold care cards are fake. Have a great day, anonymous!:D.
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!).
