Longchamp | Accessories | New Longchamp Lo226 421 Blue 。Longchamp\'s story began in 1948 when Jean Cassegrain, the father of today\'s President, began to craft luxury leather smoking pipes. After several successful years offering the finest smoke products in France, the company began to create small leather goods and eventually expanded the collection to include women\'s handbags, luggage, ready to wear, shoes and men\'s leather collections. What began as a small smoke shop, known for its expertise and excellent craftsmanship, soon expanded to a major luxury brand!
