Two pairs of hands come together to create a remarkable collaboration between Longchamp and Constantin Riant—one skilled in leather craftsmanship, the other in artistic vision. 

This partnership was a natural fit, based on their shared love for the rich culture of Paris and a passion for fine craftsmanship. The result is a stunning Autumn 2025 collection of exquisite bags, accessories, and ready-to-wear pieces. All brushed in a beautiful porcelain-like blue and white colour palette.

The artist behind this collaboration, Constantin Riant, is a painter, illustrator, and ceramist with a unique way of exploring. While many of us look far for inspiration, Constantin finds it close to home, like a tourist in his own city. He notices the little details most people miss, such as shop signs, colours, and architecture, discovering beauty in the familiar.

Using cobalt blue lines, the collection brings Paris to life. From upholsterers to instrument makers, picture framers to booksellers, the shopfronts of local artisans become a stunning pattern on the collection’s standout piece: Les Artisans de Paris silk scarf.

To honour Longchamp’s heritage, Constantin created a new emblem that tells the story of the brand’s past and present. This symbol features tools used by leather artisans, as well as the first leather-covered pipes, the iconic Le Pliage bag, needles and thread, and images of a plane and ship to represent travel.

The collection’s emblem

You’ll find this emblem as a leather label on the back of cotton jackets and overalls. It’s also printed on the collection’s T-shirts, logo sweatshirts, and the Parisienne’s new favourite tote—a fresh take on the classic Le Pliage.
