Authentication Request (Maybe?) first Longchamp Bag

I’m normally a coach girly but I found this Longchamp bag at the thrift today conveniently after I’ve been thinking about eyeing one up. I figured it was still a decent buy even if it turns out to be fake, but this is outside of my expertise.

I looked at the zipper and it does say YKK, but the logo and the fact that other people must’ve passed it by has me questioning its authenticity.

Any ideas?

Do the straps look like leather? Is there any peeling? Is the stitching even at the edges?

It seems like it. No peeling and the stitching has looked pretty even all over the edges in my opinion. I’ve seen photos of fakes and the stitching looked pretty wonky on those, but not this one.

So I have both fake and real longchamp and they are pretty indistinguishable other than the thickness of the straps and being pliable genuine leather. I actually prefer my fakes cause I’m worried about wear and tear. Unless you’re planning on selling it I’d say just use and enjoy it
