Mary Katrantzou X Longchamp

January 26th, 2012

Nowadays, it seems like in order for any brand to stay relevant, they have to hop on the designer collab-wagon. For Longchamp, this means breathing new life into their lightweight, travel-friendly bags by joining forces with fashion’s most notable names. Past pairings have included Jeremy Scott, whose quirky, travel-inspired line flew off shelves, as well as Kate Moss, who brought her particular brand of edge to the table. This time around, they’ve handed the reins over to one of the year’s most buzzed about designers, London-based Mary Katrantzou.

Known for her penchant for prints, Katrantzou’s Longchamp effort centers around an east-meets-west theme – think kaleidoscopic, Chinese-inspired prints combined with Longchamp’s classic shapes. The great thing about Longchamp’s breed of collaborations? Designers have a proverbial blank canvas to start from, which, so far, has made for some pretty exciting results. This crop of bags may not be for the longtime Longchamp wearer, but we think they just might deliver a brand new crop of fans to the historic handbag house.
