Design Legacy
Why it endures
Created by Philippe Cassegrain in 1993, the Le Pliage was inspired by Japanese origami. Longchamp, a French leather goods house since 1948, designed it to be the perfect travel companion—foldable, lightweight, yet luxurious. It became an instant classic, selling over 30 million pieces worldwide.
Timelessness
The Le Pliage is fashion's most democratic luxury. It bridges the gap between high fashion and everyday practicality, which is why it's been beloved for over 30 years. This is the bag that looks as appropriate at the office as it does on a weekend getaway.
Did You Know?
Longchamp's signature canvas is actually a tightly woven nylon that's incredibly durable and water-resistant, while the Russian leather trim is naturally scratch-resistant. This combination means the bag ages beautifully—developing character without looking worn.
