Maybe you are not the first person that bought and then returned the bag. The seller may have decided that it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to sell it again. But that was nice of them to let you keep it, and now you get to enjoy it!
i have the neo les pliage i love the bag cos its so light weighted i have all the colors since birkins is too much for me, so i just collected all the colors of neo les pliage its all gorgeous plus it can carry my 4 pcs white cubes which is 3x3x3x3 ❤️💜❤️🧡💛💚💙🖤
It's a beautiful color and it looks great anyway you chose to carry it. That was very kind of the seller. Would t it be cool if it was authentic? Wow! Looking forward to your thoughts and verdict after carrying it for awhile. Xoxo
Oh my,it looks authentic.I have 2 neo bags,pink and brown,one made in china,the other made in france. They are nice sellers and dont want anymore trouble,thats why they decided to give it away. No signs of being fake and if it is, thats an incredible most close to original.
Same here, I recently bought a couple of Le Neo Pilages from Nordstrom, didn't come with dust bags, I had bought a more expensive Longchamp leather tote from Nordstrom several years ago, that one came with a dust bag.
When I got my Le Pliage from ebay I too thought it was jot authentic. There's a video on TH-cam that helps tell you what to look for to authenticate. I watched & was able to determine mine was real. Look for the video! Yours looks authentic to me.
Hi! I saw your comment on my video and came to see your LC. Now I am in no way an expert and I don't have a Longchamp Neo to fully compare with. I couldn't really see the close up details on the snap and the embossed logo and zipper pull, all of which have little things to look for. But from the few things I know to look for on authentic bags (aside from close ups of the hardware) your bag seems to check out. I would recommend going to the "Longchamp" forum on the purse forum and having the girls there authenticate her for you because they are much more knowledgeable then me :) What does the "made in" tag look like? The fact that she returned your money though and didn't want the bag back seems shady to me, but anything is possible :) Short handles are my personal fav on Longchamp bags and I love Longchamp! Good luck!
Purse Demented thank you so much!!!! I will check out purse forum. The "made in" tag is what first made me think it was fake - bit of a space between the I and S in "PARIS". I will continue to do research. Thanks for your help!!
Just out of interest, did you ever get a definitive answer on whether the bag was real or not? I have the Small version of this same bag and have been hauling it around for 2 and a half years and it is still going strong and it is blowing my mind. My handbags usually take a real beating and don't last very long...
ohmycrayon I did not get a definite answer! I do believe it was not authentic though after watching lots of TH-cam videos. So glad Longchamp has been so good to you in terms of wear and tear!
I was wondering if you have gotten your LC authenticated? Bilberry is a beautiful color. As someone said it's difficult to make a decision without close ups. The plastic tag inside is one thing you can check. What I was thinking is strange is that Le Pliage Neo doesn't come in bilberry. I live in Europe. Bilberry is one of the six permanent colors (beside the six seasonal colors) of Le pliage Nylon.
rimfrost55 I never had it authenticated. After it sat unused in my closet for several months, I actually ended up sending this bag to my friend who inspired me to get it as a surprise. Whether real or not, she absolutely loves it and has used it on several trips this summer! I definitely think the traditional tote style would fit my needs better so I have been hunting for one of those. Thanks for watching!!
Thank You--really liked your video. I have some different Le Pliage Nylon totes. I prefer them over LP Neo as they come in more colors and changes twice a year. I use them for travel and weekends. Shoulder strap is more practical for me as I dont travel with the big carry on. But if I did I think your friend has a good point, with the short handle and sholder strap (Neo). I hope you will find one you like. They are really great bags.
Hi, just wondering, did it have a tag inside...it would say Longchamp and have a number it would also say...made in china or france etc...lovely bag! how do you like it?
Bela Sunshine yes it did! The spacing was a little off on the lettering which was making me question if it was real or not. It's a super pretty bag, but I think I'm going to hunt for the neo in the tote style. I think I'd prefer two shoulder straps. Thanks for watching!!
Sweet! Did you happen to check the sellers feedback? Just to gauge what type of business they've done in the past. I'm still saying that I think it's authentic just basing it off of the ones I own. Yes, the dust bag appears authentic, too. Maybe the seller is just wanting to protect their selling reputation. No matter the reason they don't want it back, you got an awesome, incredible bag! P.S. I use a base shaper in mine to lessen the sag factor. I found my shapers on eBay. They are clear acrylic and make the bag more attractive.
VALERIE HALLMARK I checked feedback before I purchased and it was all positive and all Longchamp products. There is some weird stuff going on though because after doing some more research the seller is located in CA but all his listings are shipped from VA and the name of the shipper is totally different from his. I hope you are right though and it is authentic! And thanks for the tip on the shaper!!
Mama Beech, that's definitely odd about where the bags are shipping from. Makes me think maybe the seller has connections to a warehouse that sells "seconds" or what others might refer to as imperfect bags. If that's the case it might explain the scratches on the nylon and if they ARE seconds they probably pick them up really cheap which might explain why they didn't want it back. Just some thoughts. I'm just really pleased for you that you got it for free because it really is a very good looking bag that you will get lots of use out of. Enjoy!
Be careful about the whole eBay return thing. I had that happen to me last summer on $400 item my husband bought. It didn't work so we asked to return it, the seller refunded my money and I got the same email about not having to return the item. Fast forward two weeks later and after I sent the item to the manufacturer for repair the seller decided he wanted his item back and constantly was demanding me to return it. I got eBay involved and I didn't have to end up shipping it back but It was a very stressful situation.
Stephanie Jerin thanks for the warning! I hadn't heard of this little scam. I know there are lots of dishonest sellers out there so I appreciate the info.
Did you ever find the extender? Cause i recently bought the small size and i feel that the strap is waaay too short for me and it feels awkward carrying it as a crossbody bag :(
Isfarziana Fitri I did not. A subscriber of mine suggested using a crossbody strap from another bag which I thought was pretty smart! I had a Patricia Nash guitar style strap that was perfect!
I gotta say, at first I totally thought it was fake. But after watching the whole video, I can't be so sure. If it is fake, it is a one heck of a knock off!
Hello. Did you ever find out it if the bag was authentic? I’m looking to buy a le Pliage neo in Black (medium) on eBay but am not sure if it is authentic.
Red Mae I never found out for sure. If you read through the comments on this video, you can find some good info from people about authentication that might help you.
I’m 5’1” and the strap on this bag was too long so I ended up selling mine. I also found my black Neo tote ( not the crossbody) held up better and draped better. You may like that one too.
I bought exactly the same type, size and colour from a “trusted”, only-authentic, 3rd party seller (I bought a few authentic bags from them in the past, not Longchamp though), and they insist my Longchamp is authentic. Yours looks authentic to me....
Who was the seller? I just did a video on this as well....13vwilliam was the seller I exposed and wondered if this was the same seller for yours? Watch my video on all the points I make about how to spot a AAA replica and maybe it'll help you out. xxoo Joshie Michael -
Joshie Michael I’ll definitely watch your video. Thank you! And yes I believe this was the same seller. It’s been too long for my to look up in eBay the name but this was it if I remember correctly and I checked my PayPal transaction. First name of the seller’s PayPal was William.
Baby Blue thanks so much for watching and letting me know! Can you educate me on what aspects make it an obvious fake so I know for next time? I don't want to make the same mistake.
First of all the nylon should slouch and should be soft the modele depose should be stamped deep the side leather buckle ring should have seven stitches and should be slim the hadle should be thick folded go to the longchamp store and compare it. Longchamps that are sold outside the stores are definitely fake as well as all the designer brands.
And the real plastic doesnt go like yours it shouls be wrapped by a paper wrap that has longchamp logo all over the paper and they will lock it with a longchamp sticker and alongchamp green ribbon
Baby Blue thanks so much for all the tips! Really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. Wish I had a longchamp store nearby so I could go get an in-person education!
If you want to know if it's real Longchamp will authenticate it for free. I bought a small Longchamp a couple of years ago on EBay and wasn't sure so I looked on the Longchamp website and contacted them. They gave me an email to send pictures of the bag along with pictures of the inside tags. They emailed me back letting me know the bag was in fact authentic. I was so happy great service.
Jessica Hartwig thanks for sharing your opinion about authenticity! There has been a wide range of opinions on either side. I did thank the seller for the refund, which was totally not necessary, and left them good feedback.
Mama Beech I am a DESIGNER bag FREAK as it seems you are as well! It seems as if maybe someone used the Neo and that is why it was shipped that way but it is definitely 100% authentic. That was known as soon as I saw the bag! I'm getting ready to purchase my first Longchamp Le Pliage for work. I bought the coin purse and cosmetic bag first to make sure I loved the material as much as everyone said I would! I really do! I purchased it in the gunmetal! I do, however, only ever order from the bag websites themselves. Sometimes that is more expensive but then there is no question on authenticity! :)
Jessica Hartwig so true! I'm so cheap I always take my chances on eBay, especially if I don't know if I like the brand yet. Sometimes I think it causes me more mental anguish then it saves me in money though!!
Wow a free bag that's awesome. Love that dark purple color. I hope it is real
I know I’m responding 5 years too late so maybe you don’t have this bag anymore. But, that bag totally looks authentic.
Maybe you are not the first person that bought and then returned the bag. The seller may have decided that it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to sell it again. But that was nice of them to let you keep it, and now you get to enjoy it!
SusanScrapPassion well that's an idea I never thought of! Maybe you are right!
The seller couldn't resell it because it's counterfeit that's why you were able to keep it.
i have the neo les pliage i love the bag cos its so light weighted i have all the colors since birkins is too much for me, so i just collected all the colors of neo les pliage its all gorgeous plus it can carry my 4 pcs white cubes which is 3x3x3x3 ❤️💜❤️🧡💛💚💙🖤
I bought a medium neo at the Longchamp store in the Dubai airport and it had plastic on the handles as well. If yours is fake, it is a VERY good fake.
It's a beautiful color and it looks great anyway you chose to carry it. That was very kind of the seller. Would t it be cool if it was authentic? Wow! Looking forward to your thoughts and verdict after carrying it for awhile. Xoxo
It's a gorgeous color! Even more awesome that it's free 😃 Perfect travel bag. It does look authentic to me, btw.
Baglove 76 thanks for sharing your opinion! I hope it's authentic, but I guess I can't complain for free!!
Hi i have a MacBook air 13” do you think my fit in the medium size ?
Wow that is beautiful bag and it’s authentic and for free
Oh my,it looks authentic.I have 2 neo bags,pink and brown,one made in china,the other made in france.
They are nice sellers and dont want anymore trouble,thats why they decided to give it away.
No signs of being fake and if it is, thats an incredible most close to original.
I have several LongChamp NeoLe Pilage and you don’t get a dust bag with them. Inside the stud should say LongChamp around the edges
Same here, I recently bought a couple of Le Neo Pilages from Nordstrom, didn't come with dust bags, I had bought a more expensive Longchamp leather tote from Nordstrom several years ago, that one came with a dust bag.
They don't provide dustbag for their nylon bags.. Only for the full leather bags
Waiting now to see if authentic. Lovely colour. Thanks for vid ❤️ Australia
Hard to hear you as I have the volume turned all the way up. Beautiful bag! It's authentic. I'm sure it is.
When I got my Le Pliage from ebay I too thought it was jot authentic. There's a video on TH-cam that helps tell you what to look for to authenticate. I watched & was able to determine mine was real. Look for the video! Yours looks authentic to me.
VR Mom of Four thanks for watching and sharing your opinion! I'll look for the video!
whats the name of the seller?

A channel devoted to purses?! Yay!
Lindsay's Life Cafe Hahahaha if you like purses, you've come to the right place! Enjoy :)
I think that it is authentic. I ordered one last year(in the green/olive tone) but sent it back to the store as it was too small.
Ladybugs and Handbags thanks for sharing your opinion! I love the olive color too. Hope you get one in a bigger size someday!
Hi, just wondering, did it have a tag inside...it would say Longchamp and have a number it would also say...made in china or france etc...lovely bag! how do you like it?

I don't think Longchamp wraps their handles in plastic....it's a nice color though
Sweet! Did you happen to check the sellers feedback? Just to gauge what type of business they've done in the past. I'm still saying that I think it's authentic just basing it off of the ones I own. Yes, the dust bag appears authentic, too. Maybe the seller is just wanting to protect their selling reputation.

I am stocking Longchamp now! With NWT from seller that sells only the best and authentic

Omg, that's a great idea! Thanks so much!! ;)
Cool! You could put your Patricia Nash strap on it when you want to go crossbody. 😄
Suz What YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!!!
Mama Beech You are the one smart enough to get that strap.
Suz What but not smart enough to know when to use it apparently!!
I gotta say, at first I totally thought it was fake. But after watching the whole video, I can't be so sure. If it is fake, it is a one heck of a knock off!
Bedavis55 thanks for commenting! There seems to be a lot of conflicting about this one!
Bedavis55 it's an overrun LC bag. They not pass on QC but it's authentic 😊

You got an authentic Longchamp for nothing. Congrats. It's definitely real. I own them. I can tell a knock off a mile away.
Sorry, not authentic. Neo doesn’t come with a dustbag. Also, hardware finish should be nickel, not chrome.
It's definitely fake i have the navy blue i purchased on the longchamp store i know one when i see one
Baby Blue thanks so much for watching and letting me know! Can you educate me on what aspects make it an obvious fake so I know for next time? I don't want to make the same mistake.

That's totally a real Longchamp Neo. I would at least apologize lol.
