Good knock off Longchamps?

[FiftyNotNifty]

My dd is looking for a le pliage for school, she's happy with a fake, but I don't want to get ripped off or buy from a horrible dodgy company. Are there any brands that just look the same, minus the price tag?
Or am I best just trying to find 2nd hand?
Thanks!

Go on Vinted. You can get the real thing for about half the price. There are loads.

There's loads of fakes on Vinted too sadly.Amazon have loads of dupes for around £15. I've got a black one, it does the job!

Neither of us mind the fakes! I just don't to be buying from anywhere dodgy...both in terms of the company, and in my chances of actually receiving a bag!

The ones on vinted come from sellers with no other items...more likely to be suss?
Thanks for amazon idea!

They are often claiming they are genuine though and pricing accordingly. I don't mind fakes either but I'd rather pay an appropriate price for one!

Yes - no other items, often a dodgy user name too ( but not always). If you ask if it's genuine they often disappear! I've reported loads of obvious fakes over the last few weeks.

And the same pic appears under loads of different user names!

I bought one from eBay which turned out to be larger than expected so I use it as an overnight bag or on a plane etc. I've no idea whether it's real or not but it looks great. It was only £30 but a few years ago.

I've bought some from eBay which have been fine
