Longchamp was founded in Paris in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain, and the company is still owned and run by the Cassegrain family. Diversified into luggage, handbags and accessories, Longchamp has asserted its fashion credentials with high-profile advertising campaigns, the creation of internationally desirable It-bags and the launch of a complete ready-to-wear collection.

Combining accessible luxury with French flair and craftsmanship, Longchamp owns more than 220 exclusive boutiques worldwide, and is available in some 2,000 multibrand stores in 101 countries.
