A Longchamp Collection Made For Living Out Your Best Adventures
The French house of Longchamp is all for a liberating and adventurous summer this season with a collection of ready‑to‑wear and refreshed bag icons big on glamping chic. To show it off, FEMALE and the maison rope in Singapore top model Layla Ong, who – since moving to Switzerland last year – has been inducing wanderlust envy with her scenic photos documenting her travels and the effortlessly stylish fits she wears on them. Next stop: wherever you want to be.
Celebration, well-being and freedom were all on the mind of Longchamp creative director Sophie Delafontaine this season, resulting in one of the brand’s most fun and feminine collections yet. Clock the impressive range of dresses, from graphic patterned slips to floral kaftans and sporty ribbed knit maxis. Crafted from lightweight fabrics such as silk, linen and cotton, they make the perfect throw-on-and-go attire for that weekend off-the-beaten-track escapade.

Meanwhile, the elegant Roseau tote (below) – a favourite since it was launched 30 years ago and distinguished by its bamboo-shaped clasp – adopts an equally playful attitude with colour blocking and an updated toggle loop in the form of a metis leather ribbon.

Sporty dresses, separates and swimsuits give the holiday-friendly collection a modern, Y2K-charged jolt. The youthfulness is reflected in the new colours of the Box-Trot – Longchamp’s latest signature bag that debuted last season.

The perfect mix of the urban and the bohemian with its neat lines and oversized medallion hardware, the calf leather crossbody bag now comes in pop hues such as candy pink and lemon yellow.

The Longchamp nomad is a glamorous one whose wardrobe transitions easily from day to night. Tailored separates in easy-to-match, nature-inspired tones, for example, bring sophistication to sporty cropped tops while bags such as the Box-Trot come with the same play in contrasts.

Says Delafontaine: “You can twist sequins with stripes. You can twist a metallic leather mini skirt with a two-tone knit cropped top and a leather jacket with glitter polka dots. That’s the essence of the daring and dynamic Longchamp woman.”
