Created in 1948 and still controlled by the founding family, the brand initially produced leather-covered pipes for smokers, but is now a symbol of affordable French chic.
I was pleased to see the whole wall dedicated to their
iconic Le Pliage handbags in a rainbow of colours and variety of sizes. Sadly,
the machine which engraves your name on the nylon bag didn`t work today – I was
told by a member of elegantly dressed shop crew – but they offered to take my
order and deliver `soon`.
I am wearing a Love Moschino leather jacket. The dress (my
favourite at the moment)
is by Michael Kors
My Michael Kors favourite in its full glory. Clutch by
Michael Kors, glasses by Bvlgari and clogs by Chanel. Photo taken last week in
another location
The Longchamp`s
store, which also sells other bags – the Legende, the
Roseau, the Gatsby, the Balzane, and Kate Moss-designed Gloucester collection –
is spread over two floors. Between them, a `floating mezzanine` provides the
most visually pleasing aspect of the overall design, and enhances the feeling
of lightness and speciousness.

The ground floor sells women’s accessories, and
ready-to-wear. The first floor houses menswear and luggage, and its home to a fabulous,
long, leather table with engraved map of the world, on its surface. I want it
NOW!
