This New Longchamp Bag Is Perfect For Stylish Working Women
Get first dibs at the Longchamp Atelier, a pop-up store concept at the ground floor lobby of Paragon Orchard.

From now till November 2, French luxury leather goods house Longchamp is staging a pop-up store at the lobby of Paragon Orchard to showcase its Fall/Winter '16 collection. Its newest offering: The Paris Premier, a range of handbags that celebrates the brand's Parisian roots and its historic store along the Rue Saint-Honore.
The Premier's clean, structured lines pay homage to the architectural features of the French neighbourhood, while the rounded metal detailing along its edges recall the wrought-iron gates seen at many a Parisian mansion.
The quality of the leather used for these bags, too, have been upheld to the highest standards - five-star French calfskin, which was treated according to the highest standards by a top-notch tannery in the City Of Light, was used to give the bags a smooth, matte finish. Available in small ($2,940) and medium ($3,255) sizes, the Premier exudes a quiet sophistication that the modern working woman would likely be partial to.
Apart from the Premier, you can also shop other small leather goods from the brand, like its Le Pliage Heritage Luxe range, and discover more about Longchamp's heritage too. Fun fact: its founder, Jean Cassegrain, actually started out by encasing tobacco pipes in leather before branching out into small leather goods, suitcases and handbags.
