Your longchamp bag should have a diamond pattern in the outer flap of the bag.
Flap should have a rich tan color and if you look much closer you will see the uneven color of the flap.
Snap button should read LONGCHAMP 1948 not vice versa.
On the back side of the snap button you should read ORIGINAL PYRM 6/4B if you read other than this specially GUANG TONG. Its definitely a fake.
Way back then LONGCHAMP is manufactures in France but they need to out sourced some other country that manufactured LONGCHAMP is CHINA and TUNISIA.
Zipper used should be YKK.
Zipper pulls should have LONGCHAMP (upper) 1948 (below). but some of the older model has LONGCHAMP (upper) then Paris or France (below).
Snap Button inside has a disk shape plastic.
