Longchamp

The Longchamp company began in 1948 when its founder, Jean Cassegrain, started manufacturing leather coverings for pipes. In the fifties, the company's products expanded to include many other smoking related items, and, as time passed, small leather goods were added to the Longchamp repertoire. Though their styles may change every season, Longchamp’s luxurious leather purses and casual, colorful nylon totes are constants for jet setters—or merely those navigating through the city in style.
