Longchamp has always been a family-run business; Jean Cassegrain headed up his label in 1948 and five years later, his 16-year-old son Philippe hopped on board. He’d later become president and dream up the brand’s most iconic bag - yep, the
Le Pliage. Inspired by the folding nature of Japanese origami, the instantly recognisable silhouette is reworked every season, with this iteration switching out the nylon for houndstooth-patterned coated canvas and leather trims. (Height 14cm, width 17cm, depth 10cm)
