The story of a leading contemporary brand of leather goods.
The company Longchamp was founded in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain. The latter abandoned his first career as a tobacconist and became a leather goods maker within no time at all. In the beginning, the label specialised in producing leather items for smokers, but success came so quickly that Longchamp soon diversified into the areas it is best known for today. Subsequently, the brand tried its hand at small leather goods, luggage and women's handbags. Longchamp marked the world of fashion, especially with its inventions full of innovation like the supple, fold-up canvas travel bag. The French label also enlisted the help of very well-known faces, like Kate Moss, to promote its prestigious image across the globe.
A collection of superior quality travel bags.
Longchamp travel bags are designed to cut to the chase, with their pared-down forms. Mainly crafted in canvas, leather or synthetic materials, the bags are generously-sized and practical. They are fitted with two rigid leather handles and an elegant flap on the front to close them with style. The Pliage line sees itself as high-quality but also as affordable by women everywhere. These bags, symbols of French luxury, are produced in different colours each season. It is also now possible to personalise them by having your initials added, for example.
A brand which is adept at revealing its wide-ranging know-how.
Although the French brand's main speciality is bags, it has also made a name for itself in other fields such as women's accessories. The offering now includes a range of small leather goods, belts and scarfs.
As for travel bags, their main purpose may be functional, but there is no excuse to neglect style. On Vestiaire Collective, you can find styles released by the world's leading designers, including designs by Longchamp. The most emblematic collections are available:
