Longchamp (French pronunciation: [lɔ̃ʃɑ̃] ) is a French leather goods company, founded in Paris in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain.[1] The company pioneered luxury leather-covered pipes before expanding into small leather goods. Longchamp debuted women's handbags in 1971, becoming one of France's leading leather goods makers.[2] Today, the company designs and manufactures leather and canvas handbags, luggage, shoes, travel items, fashion accessories, and women's ready-to-wear.[3][4][5] The house is privately owned and managed by the Cassegrain founding family[4][1] and does business in 80 countries through around 1,500 retail outlets.[6]
