Founded in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain in Paris, Longchamp began as a leather-covered pipe shop before evolving into a luxury accessories brand. The family-owned company revolutionized travel accessories with the introduction of the iconic Le Pliage (“the fold”) bag in 1993—a lightweight, foldable nylon tote that became a global phenomenon, selling over 32 million units worldwide. Longchamp remains family-run (third generation) and maintains French manufacturing traditions while combining Parisian elegance with functional design.
Longchamp is a French brand with European manufacturing, making Europe the best place globally for pricing and selection. With 12-20% VAT refunds, a €595 Le Pliage Leather Tote becomes €476-€524 after refund—compared to $695 in the US (€645), saving €121-€169. European flagships stock exclusive colors and collaborations unavailable elsewhere.
