About Longchamp
Longchamp began as a tobacco shop covering pipes in leather before founder Jean Cassegrain expanded into small leather goods and travel accessories. This evolution from tobacco accessories to leather goods created a heritage of craftsmanship that continues to influence the family-owned company today.
The brand achieved global recognition with the 1993 introduction of Le Pliage, the nylon-and-leather foldable tote that revolutionized everyday bags with its lightweight practicality and elegant simplicity. This single design has sold tens of millions of units worldwide while maintaining its relevance through strategic collaborations and seasonal variations.
Longchamp has successfully balanced its positioning between its iconic accessible products and its more exclusive leather collections, creating a brand that spans multiple market segments. The company continues to manufacture many products in France, maintaining exceptional quality control and authentic heritage while embracing contemporary collaborations with artists and designers that refresh its classic appeal.
