From pipe manufacturer to luxury brand for bags

Mansion Longchamp was founded in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain and initially focused on producing and selling leather-covered pipes. Over time, the range was expanded to include travel accessories, bags, shoes and clothing. The label is a family business and is still owned by the Cassegrain family. With its model Le Pliage, the brand managed to establish itself internationally as a luxury bag brand.

The brand’s bag collections consist of unique bags that are of the highest quality. The range includes shoulder bags, shoppers, shoulder bags, backpacks and much more. Especially the Le Pliage is a bag that is impossible to imagine the fashion world without.

Le Pliage: The label’s cult bag

The Le Pliage is probably the most famous bag of the brand and at the same time its flagship: the bag was launched in 1993 and has reached cult status to this day, as the bag is probably one of the most famous bags in the world. It is available in different colors, sizes and models and new special edits are often released.
