Longchamp, the French leather goods company, is perhaps best known for its Le Pliage line - a collection of foldable travel bags made of vinyl with leather trim. Since 1993 two billion Le Pliage bags have been sold around the world. This lavish book, illustrated with 180 black-and-white photographs, retraces and celebrates the history of this famous company as it marks its 60th anniversary. From its beginnings creating leather goods for smokers, to its expansion into small leather goods in the 1950s, to the opening of the first Longchamp boutiques in Hong Kong, Japan and the rest of Europe in the 1970s and 80s, the company has always been known for quality and style.
