In early Fall, the Parisienne returns to her atelier. From ceramics to leather goods, she works quietly, taking her time. Allowing the material to be her guide, she adopts the pared-down aesthetic of artisans. Her workwear-inspired wardrobe is a tribute to craftsmanship and creativity.
From ceramics…
In her Paris atelier, the ceramist is totally wrapped up in her work. She rolls up her sleeves to keep her hands free. Modeling, controlling the wheel, glazing… Her artisanal savoir-faire influences her style as she shapes the clay in her scalloped painter’s smock. Her designs are like her wardrobe: organic, irregular, authentic. Like the charms she hangs from her Le Pliage Collectionartist’s basket or her new Le Pliage Xtra half-moon bag. As for the ornamental lines on her ceramics, they echo the crochet details of her Le Pliage Filet bag. The calm atmosphere of her atelier-hideaway influences the natural hues of her clothes — ecru, paper, earth, mahogany and ebony.
The only sound is that of her La Cigale studded clogs in vintage-look leather on the floor of her workshop as she makes some final adjustments before heading out. She wanders through the city in a poplin top with a bamboo clasp, a nod to her Le Roseauhold-all in raw cotton canvas, soaking up the sights and sounds of her neighborhood. Inspired by leather savoir-faire, she also loves the supple, natural leather version of Le Roseau for its effortless, casual-chic style.
… to artisanal savoir-faire
The Parisienne knows that you only have to look up to find inspiration. The sign outside the picture framer’s, the typography of the luthier, the tools of the leather artisan… Or even the window of the bakery, which inspired her toast-shaped Epure bag in cowhide leather. Wearing her La Voyageuse leather brogues, she crisscrosses Paris to seek out all these different craftspeople, sharing their choice of utilitarian blue. Her own workwear jacket has a jacron label signed Constantin Riant for Longchamp, which references the codes established since the House was founded in 1948. Blue shades, from navy to cobalt, form her palette this season as she crafts her style with the skill of an artisan: utilitarian overalls, a striped kimono and a Le Pliage Xtra mini toolkit with its distinctive topstitching. Always looking for new creative adventures, she reaches for her favorite Le Pliage x CONSTANTINtote bag, which reinvents the spirit of the workshop. An array of essentials for a stylish Fall imbued with the authenticity of savoir-faire.
“At Longchamp, our vocation as a leather goods specialist means we have a deep affinity with other crafts. The Fall 2025 collection, in both ready-to-wear and accessories, bears the inimitable imprint of the human hand. Artisans all share a true sensibility for materials – whether that is wood, stone, fabric or leather… The sensoriality of touch and texture is the keynote of this season.” – Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp Creative Director.
