Is this Longchamp Le Pliage Bag Fake?

I bought a second Le Pliage as my original one (stone) is being used as a nappy bag. I bought it on Vinted and now think it might be fake. My original was bought from Longchamp directly so I know that one is real!

Can you help me authenticate the new bag?

Issues I have are:

The inside is beige. I was expecting it to be white.

The leather on the fold over features diagonal marks that look off. The diagonals look vertical rather than subtle and horizontal like my original.

The leather just feels slightly different to mine.

The texture on the rear side feels different. Very smooth.

The internal pocket is on the wrong side.

I have had my bags repaired for free.. corners had holes. I did not have a receipt and went to a Longchamp branch. They will repair the bag once for free as long as the holes are not big enough for a pen to go through it

Final Update:
I had to submit a lot of evidence. I even included my internet search history for the day and Ring Doorbell footage to demonstrate that there wasn’t time for me to have made that mark between getting home with the parcel and taking the time stamped photo with the mark on it.

My Erin Brockovich moment has earned me a £30 refund.

There is a very petty part of me that wants to send one more message to the seller thanking her for her time and wishing her luck in her recovery from her many cobbler hang-ups, but I’m going to walk away with my £30 and buy a brand new LC bag from John Lewis.

Thanks for all of your help ladies!

I love a happy ending!

(I have the long handled version - with two pockets. Brilliant as a flight bag.)
