Bag the new Longchamp

This Autumn/Winter Longchamp breaks the silence on not one, but two surprises. First it brings to you, Bohéme, a celebration of all things Bohemian. With a palette ranging from Grey and Expresso, to Purple, these suede bags are the ideal carry me this holiday season. Simple, slouchy and supple, the bags come in different sizes from a hobo and a shopper to a square tote. The use of leather for handles and cufflinks as anchors for the soft front pleats whisper of a slight dandyish appeal. The second surprise is the Red Hot Line, Jeremy Scott’s latest impression of Longchamp’s iconic Le Pilage which reaches stores in October 2009. Having arrived straight from the world of Mickey Mouse, the bag is an extension of the designer’s Disney inspired Autumn/Winter show and it comes in a red and black colour scheme. The telephones printed on the bag promote togetherness through communication.
