Longchamp L'Original Le Pliage XL Travel Bag: Made in France VS Made in China |What's the Difference
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Hey guys! In this video I compare two of the same handbags: the Longchamp L'Original Le Pliage XL Travel Bag BUT one of them is made in France while the other is made in China.
Although these two bags are the same, there are many, many, many differences between them! Once you pay closer attention, it is easy to see that they look and feel completely different. Yes, I said COMPLETELY different!
Oh and once you have seen the difference, you cannot unsee them!
All I am going to say is that I’d rather pay more and get a Longchamp bag that is Made in France, its country of origin.
You'll have to watch the video to see the rest 😉

Got an older Longchamp recently but made in China. However the handles are soft and the print on the flap isn’t so visible either. The bag is 100% genuine (authenticated). The fabric was thinner but I noticed on the newer bags made in China the fabric is thicker and more sturdy, so clearly there has been some change in the bags made in China too. That’s quite interesting. Thank you for your video 😊❤
That's very interesting! Thank you for sharing your experience and for watching my video 😀
I’d have to say that most of the differences related to texture, shine and stiffness have to do with the age of each bag to a great extent.
Also, obviously the techniques as well as the tools have changed over time..
For better or worse.
That's a good point as well!
I agree....to me...if its not made in France,its not a luxury lompchamp bag anymore,but a nylon bag,stamped with the name...lompchamp have cut back on the Finnish...
I know 😢 It's not the same anymore
Omg I saw these made in china pieces. That’s why I stopped buying. I really thought it was fake but it’s was sold in the department store. I can see the big difference too when I tried it. The leather is different. Thanks for sharing this comparison. I’m glad to know that even in the store in France has these made in china ones.
It is disappointing, I must say 😢
Made in France absolutely beautiful and quality for me thank you for sharing friend..
I agree!
I can't agree on this one, and not to be mean to your review by any means! But i have come in contact with 6 le pliage, 2 being mine, all used for around the same amount of time, and the leather on the china made ones goes soooo soft after a little bit of use, one can't tell the slightest difference.. I'm so happy with both my pieces even if they're made in different factories 💙
Thanks for watching my video! Glad you like both of your pieces. I do too, but still can't shake this feeling that longchamp should have continued producing in France 💙🤍♥️
@@DonnaIsabella I agree for the fact that it FEELS so much more luxe, the fact that they were made in France! I mean it made sense for them to be manufactured there! 💙
Thanks for your detailed review! I find it especially interesting that Longchamp sells bags produced in China in France even though on their website it says that they still have half of their production sites (6 I think) in France. So I don't get why the stores in France don't sell the "locally" manufacuted ones since they advertise to try to be as sustainable as possible and shipping bags from china to a country with half of your production sites seems not that way🤔
My pleasure 😀 Good point that you make here. At the end of the day, they probably are looking to make the most profit while affecting their brand the least, image wise.
Take care 😊
vintage things were made so much better🌈🤗
True that!!
Hello, Donna. Awesome comparison of 2 beautiful bags. The difference is so visible. I love Longchamp. ❤️ Thanks for the share.
My pleasure 😊
This Amazing Wonderful Longchamp L'Original Le Pliage XL Travel Bag So Cool. Really too Good! Thanks for sharing with us!🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍
Thank you so much 🤗
I noticed the difference with new bags, i was wondering if i was imaging it😅 I bought most of my longchamp bags over 10-15 years ago & nowadays half of the models are discontinued. However i do find bag handles stiffness good for travel, because smoother ones get ruined quite easily😕
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Even if the previous leather is more fragile, the smoothness of it makes it worthwhile for me ❤️
In this case, Made in China, does not bother me because it was made in a Longchamp factory in China, as opposed to a third party factory (as I understand based on the Longchamp website).
Good point Lulu! I would still rather pay a bit more and have it made in France. Thank you for sharing your opinion 😀
@@DonnaIsabella the good news is that they still make bags in France…I have found some thru some effort. 😊
@@DonnaIsabellaeveryone is getting factories in china RayBan too, luxotica the company which owns Ray Ban has factories in both Italy and China so when you buy their sunglasses it’s sort of luck if you get a pair made made in china or Italy.
With Longchamp I don’t know if it’s only china now or like with RayBan is a luck thing.
I know!! Some are still made in France ❤@@luluesparza7360
Good point about RayBan! As far as I know for Longchamp, now their best seller (Le pliage in canvas) is all made abroad. Some more high end pieces from Longchamp are still made in France, but it's getting more rare. Take care and thank you for watching my video 😊@@sarizonana
Wow, this is such an amazing comparison video! I love your style of reviewing different types brand and style of bags. Thank you for sharing this amazing vlog!😍 Have a great week!🤗
Thank you so much! You too!
Wow great comparison review dear :)
Thank you so much 🙂
Longchamp L'Original Le Pliage XL Travel Bag Amazing Wow Very interesting and beautiful! Thank You So much!💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you so much 😊
Wow Really Amazing Longchamp L'Original Le Pliage XL Travel Bag This Your Video That's Great! Thanks for sharing with us! Keep it up Good Job!😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much 🤗
Wait a second! If ALL Longchamp Le Pliage bags are made in China now -- including authentic ones -- why compare one made in China to one made in France (again, where it is no longer made)? Am I misunderstanding this?
Hello!
A lot of people still buy pre-owned Longchamp pieces on the secondary market that are made in France. I felt it was interesting to compare the quality between the different production lines of the same model over the years. And remind everybody how sad it is, that a lot of companies are producing overseas mainly for cost reduction purposes. Take care Christina 😊
Thank you for sharing however, I think the timing of the purchases has a larger impact than the location. Quality always varies over time unfortunately for the more affordable brands.
Good point! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts on this topic 😀
I love softer handle that made in France. A funny thing one of my large long-champ shoulder bag is one handle is soft but another handle is kind of stiff. It made from Tunisia.
Me too 💞 That's funny! I would love to review a Made in Tunisia Longchamp bag!!
@@DonnaIsabella my recent longchamp purchases are all made in tunisia. purchased from southern california boutique & also in nordstrom online. my made in france le pliage is the one i had personalized. all my leather longchamps, however, are all made in france. i lOve this brand lol 💚💚
Oh, so many differences - significant ones! Wow.✨😊🌸
I know!!
I hope you don’t compare the quality of bags in which country that it made , it is not fair as the selection of hardwares ,the selection of the leather and the way of stitch it are all proved by the Longchamp. But I do agree that the quality of that bag you compare to past has some differences.
Thank you for watching!! I just think the quality should remain the same regardless of where it is made. Unfortunately, it is rarely the case. Have a good day ☀️
Why not compare countries?? Don’t we all know Made in communist China 🇨🇳actually means cheap. And I’m from China. Do we have to be politically correct? 😢😢
I think the host did an awesome job 😅
I love comparison videos, but I could not expect so many differences between the same bags of different origin, totally agree with you i would choose Made in France version too :)
Thank you for your supprt Candy Cottons 🍬 😘
Thank you for the detailed review. I had to check all my 3 le pliage bags (backpack, M, XL) … sadly all made in china. Very disappointed. I will continue using them but won’t purchase more 😔
My pleasure! I know it is disappointing 😢
Good job Longchamp L'Original Le Pliage XL Travel Bag: Made in France VS Made in China |What's the Difference. Thank you for sharing my dear friend 👍
Thanks for watching!
My chinese one has a really smooth leather and the leather is more like the french one you are showing. Maybe i got lucky? :D
Haha maybe you did 😱
at the longchamp website, for travel bags there is only
small and medium size. I dont see neither a large nor XL. Im getting confused.
Good point. Longchamp seems to have changed the names of the bags and the collections. To help you with the sizing, you are better off looking at the measurements in the description and looking at the pictures to have an idea of the size compared to a human.
I agree with you. I would choose the one made in France before I would choose the one made in China. Thanks for showing the differences between the two bags. It was very informative. maybe it’s all about the money?
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 😀 It is indeed, all about the money unfortunately.
Thinking about getting their travel bag do you think it worth it and how do you review the durability
Thanks
I believe they are worth it. Good quality and durability for the price in my opinion. It's solid and easy to clean. And, you get a beautiful design that won't go out of style 😀 Thank you for your support 😊
Interesting video. But, I don't think the differences are because of where the bag is made. I have one that is about 10-15 years old and is made in China. The leather is super soft! They just changed the way the way the item is produced, as well as the materials being used. If there was a difference between the bags due to where they were made, that would be a huge quality control issue. Louis Vuitton, for instance, makes their bags both in Europe and in the US. I have pieces from the US and Europe, and you cannot tell the difference...despite what some people say. Again, interesting video though!
I respect your opinion and I thank you for sharing it with all of us on RUclips 😊 I still feel like the country of origin can influence the final product. In many other example outside of the Le Pliage from Longchamp, it is often seen that quality decreases when production is brought overseas. Take care !
@@DonnaIsabella Yes, very fair point! I actually have shoes from Greats. Three pairs are made in Italy and all fit the same. One other pair is made in China and fits bigger! So, yes you’re right. I think it depends on the brands, too, and what standards they set. Mulberry moved some of their production to China, but my bag is wonderful! I actually like it better than the one I have that is made in England. It’s all very interesting. It would be nice if there was better quality control. I have been catching up on your videos, and I love your collection of goodies! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, where did you buy the bag that was made in France and how old is it?
Hello! It was gifted to me. I believe it's around 20 to 30 years old. To find some, you have to shop online on the pre-owned market. Ebay could be a good place to start 😎
I think that the leather is “reconstituted” leather and it seems that they can get away with calling it real leather.
You might be right!!
I think the made in china leather is stiffer because it's new.
Could be! Thank you for watching 😃
This is so interesting!! I didn’t even some were made in China, that’s crazy. It’s sad for the quality…
Very sad 😢
Great review, before that would like to say one thing, you are so smart
Thank you!
ah the good ole' days. They don't make them the same anymore, that's for sure. That light one - is that the color way 'beige'?
xoxo
Absolutely right! The light bag is beige indeed. You could say it's a lighter version of the ''desert'' color on sale right now on the Longchamp website.
Good information... thanks for sharing, I hope your channel Success
Thanks!!
What color is the tan one?!
I believe they don't make this exact color anymore. It is in the shade of brown.
i still can't appreciate using that huge bag for traveling. there are so many other functional (and cheaper) travel bags out there.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!! Feel free to share your suggestions here, so we can see the other travel bags you are talking about 😊
Beautiful sharing ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Made in France all the way 🇫🇷
I wish they could stop moving production in other countries, even if that means the price will be higher
I know me too 😅
These products hardly cost anything to make. It’s a scam
@@arushisingh930 😂
really interesting. so disappointed to see all this different types of quality, because the china version is too expensive regarding the quality…
Thank you!
Very disappointing indeed, and this trend doesn’t apply only to Longchamp unfortunately.
how do you get one made in france?
You have to shop on the pre-owned market for a vintage piece! Ebay, for instance, is one place to look at 😊
I’m originally from China but refuse to buy things printed “Made in China” lol
Thank you for watching my video 😊

Thank you for watching!
Manthap kak Isabell💙🔥
Thank you!
When I called customer service I was told the leather is from France and Italy but it could be assembled in different countries. And the final checks on the item before it’s sold happens in France. Either way I don’t want to buy something that says made in China. Lol.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Long live Made in FRANCE products.
Absolutely !!
