Leatherwork, a longstanding practice at Longchamp, is the Maison's core expertise. From leather pipe coverings to small leather goods, bags, and suitcases, Longchamp's expertise and savoir-faire are expressed through the expert craftsmanship of leather, an extremely noble material. Longchamp began by establishing itself as a Maison that created soft leather pipe coverings, imbuing them with personality and emotion. Covering is an ingenious and precise technique that creates a second skin for an object, enveloping and protecting it with naturalness. This symbiotic affinity is the hallmark of all Longchamp leather objects, infusing emotion into the relationship with the object: a sensual, tactile, and epidermal dimension.
