From the sun-dappled pastures of the French countryside, envisioned for Summer 2025, to the open meadows of the Cotswolds for Winter 2025, Longchamp continues its ode to fashion in motion. For Spring 2026, the French Maison glides into the temperate season, calling for renewal, with its Slide in Style collection, inspired by the exhilarating ritual of outdoor skating.
This is where the core of the collection, “Cocooning on Ice”, comes to life. Picture this: blades tracing silver promises onto the shimmering ice, the sharp and clean chill air that only makes the warmth of shared laughter feel more profound. It’s these fleeting moments that joy becomes tangible—a flush on the cheek, a hand clasped in another, breaths mingling in frosty plumes as you spin together under a pale winter sun.
Swaddled in the softest knitwear, wrapped in capes and shaggy jackets of a fizzy champagne palette, it is not a retreat from the cold but rather a celebration within it. Skater skirts flounce with a cheerful rhythm, harmonising with the graceful glide of heeled boots—elegantly reminiscent of ice skates with their laced-up details—as we thaw the edges of the year with the shared warmth of togetherness.
As the exhilaration crescendos into the night, the lineup unfolds into a full symphony of eveningwear. Here, sequins take centre stage. Each piece—sinuous fishtail dresses, skirts slashed with a daring slit, tops buoyant with bubble sleeves— captures and reflects the sparkle of a festive sky veiled with glimmering stars. The bold and cherry-red pieces crown the collection too. From a glittering one-shoulder gown to a sleeveless empire waist dress that whispers of Regency-era elegance, these merry pieces add a vibrant pulse to the nocturnal reverie. The most captivating detail, however, is the subtle accent of the signature Bamboo toggle, a hallmark of the house’s beloved Le Roseau line. Appearing in the previous collections as a delicate clasp on the bags, a refined buckle on the belt, and on the ballerina flats, this singular element serves as a golden thread that weaves all the pieces together within the realm of Longchamp.
As a house founded on the principles of craftsmanship since its inception with leather-covered pipes in 1948, Longchamp’s legacy in leather goods remains undisputed. For Spring 2026, even the most familiar silhouettes receive a jolly makeover. The accessories lineup, otherwise known as the Le Pliage Cocooning, features the structured Le Roseau, now bedazzled in a cascade of red sequins. The signature Le Pliage Xtra XS, on the other hand, is wrapped in a toasty gold exterior, adorned with a gleaming gold-toned chain. This jovial collection is proof that heritage and joy can dance beautifully together.
