Bag of the Week is a franchise that highlights the latest, most hyped luxury bags. Each week, we showcase a bag that is generating significant buzz, whether for its design, exclusivity, or popularity. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the Longchamp Le Foulonné Bag.
How do you spot a true Parisienne? It’s never just in the cut of her blazer or the tilt of her beret—it’s in her bag. For decades, Longchamp’s Le Foulonné has been one of those quiet emblems of Parisian chic. This season, the house breathes new life into the line with softer silhouettes, timeless hues, and an understated touch of quiet luxury.
Launched in 1978, Le Foulonné takes its name from its signature leather: finely grained, supple, and almost velvety to the touch. Each bag reflects Longchamp’s devotion to craftsmanship and materials of lasting quality—a trait that has made it a companion of stylish women across generations. “Between the creation of Le Foulonné in 1978 and today’s new editions, we have always aimed to spotlight the authentic grain of the leather,” shares Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp’s Creative Director. “I love the detail of the oval buckle, which we have reworked in a nod to the equestrian universe. Le Foulonné is a line with real personality—you need only to add a charm to make it your own.”
The collection leans into versatility and femininity. The smallest rounded crossbody is perfect for the on-the-go city dweller, while the roomy hobo and oversized tote offer generous interiors for those who carry their world with them. The palette straddles timeless classics: deep black, taupe, paper white—and natural hues like nutmeg yellow, caper green, and biscuit, shades that whisper elegance rather than shout.
Then there’s the oval buckle, inviting the wearer to add charms and tokens that tell her own story. Like a secret shared between Parisiennes, the embossed Longchamp signature seals the bag with an unspoken code of style.
In a world where logos scream and trends fade fast, Le Foulonné embodies something far rarer: subtlety. Now, let’s explore how women around the world are making this iconic bag their own.
