Longchamp

Longchamp is a French luxury leather goods company founded in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain in Paris. Initially renowned for its leather-covered pipes, the brand expanded into small leather goods and, by 1971, introduced women's handbags, establishing itself as a leader in French leather craftsmanship. Longchamp's most iconic creation, the Le Pliage bag, was launched in 1993. Inspired by Japanese origami, this lightweight, foldable tote combines nylon and leather, offering both practicality and elegance. The Le Pliage has become a global symbol of understated luxury, favored by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike. Today, Longchamp remains a family-owned business, celebrated for its commitment to quality, innovation, and timeless design.
