Longchamp: a French Maison between tradition and modernity
Longchamp is a French Maison that has been associated with Paris and the Cassegrain family since 1948. Jean Cassegrain founded the house with leather-covered items before gradually extending its savoir-faire to leather goods, travel accessories and bags. From its French origins, Longchamp has grown into an internationally recognised brand.
Today, Longchamp combines its heritage and artisanal expertise with contemporary design. Leather, canvas and other materials shape collections created for different moments of everyday life. The Maison does not approach luxury solely as a question of status: lightness, mobility and functionality also play an important role in many of its creations.
What are the key features of Longchamp bags and leather goods?
Depending on the collection, Longchamp combines leather with canvas, nylon and other textiles to create both soft and structured silhouettes. Functional details such as zip closures, handles, shoulder straps and internal compartments cater to different uses and ways of carrying the bag.
Dimensions, colours, materials and construction vary between styles. Le Pliage Original is particularly distinguished by its lightweight, flexible and foldable design, while leather styles such as Le Pliage Xtra offer a more sophisticated and structured appearance. Mini bags, handbags, shoulder bags and more generous formats create a varied selection.
Which Longchamp bags are the most popular?
At the heart of the Maison's universe is Longchamp Le Pliage, one of its most iconic collections. Le Pliage Original is recognisable by its lightweight, foldable construction, clean lines and wide choice of sizes. In addition to handbags, the line includes more generous formats suited to everyday use and travel.
Le Pliage Xtra reinterprets this distinctive silhouette in leather for a more sophisticated look. Depending on the style, mini bags, handbags and shoulder bags offer different carrying options. Le Pliage Energy reveals a sportier and more contemporary side of the collection, combining functional shapes with practical shoulder straps.
The Longchamp bag selection therefore ranges from compact city styles to classic handbags and shoulder bags, as well as larger formats for travelling. Beyond aesthetics, material, dimensions and carrying style are essential considerations when choosing the right bag.
Which Longchamp bag should you choose for everyday life in Switzerland?
For everyday life in Switzerland, it can be useful to choose a bag according to how it will be used rather than by collection alone. For commuting and train journeys, a lightweight, sufficiently spacious style with a suitable closure is a practical option. In the city, a compact bag with an adjustable shoulder strap makes getting around easier, while a small handbag can be well suited to appointments or smarter occasions.
For weekends and travel, larger lightweight formats may be preferable. Before using a particular style as cabin baggage, however, its dimensions and the airline's requirements should always be checked. For carrying more everyday essentials, a lightweight tote can be a suitable choice. Weight, size, closure, handles, compartments, material and carrying options are all useful criteria to consider.
Alongside functional and timeless Longchamp bags, Bongénie offers other distinctive designer aesthetics: Saint Laurent Paris for a more assertive expression of luxury, Stella McCartney for contemporary design, and Jacquemus for fashion-forward silhouettes and distinctive proportions.
How much does a Longchamp bag cost?
Longchamp bag prices vary mainly according to the collection, dimensions, material and construction of the individual style. The proportion of leather used and whether a design belongs to a permanent or seasonal collection can also influence its price positioning.
Lightweight Longchamp bags in canvas or nylon generally sit within a different price range from styles made entirely or predominantly from leather. More elaborate handbags and certain larger formats may also command higher prices. As the selection and prices can change throughout the season, please refer to the current prices displayed in the Longchamp selection on the Bongénie online shop.
