Longchamp Reveals 2026 Spring Collection: 'Cocooning on Ice'

In Paris, the iconic brand Longchamp, founded in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain, has introduced its 2026 spring/summer collection, dubbed 'Cocooning on Ice'. Under the creative direction of Sophie Duhamel Fontaine, this collection emphasizes the experiences of the modern Parisienne, encapsulating two vivid narratives - cozy moments spent gliding over the sparkling ice of the city and joyous days under the warm sun, splashing in the waves. Through 62 distinctive looks, the collection captures the spirit of the Parisian woman as she refreshes her wardrobe, embodying her essence as she gracefully transitions into the new season.

With the winter chill lingering, today’s Parisiennes are drawn to the city’s ice rinks, where they share laughter and warmth with family and friends. Savory hot chocolate wraps their hands, and soft knits embrace their bodies. Dressing up feels delightful, especially with pieces like the playful 'Le Pliage® Cocooning', transforming winter staples such as sweaters, beanies, and mittens into stylish bags adorned in vibrant pistachio&burgundy or coral&pink stripes. A subtly tied shoulder bag rests on her shoulder, while a mitten bag reminiscent of Proust’s madeleine intertwines with childhood memories. A crossbody bag completes the look, as she navigates through a snowy day with a light heart. Joining the vibrant collection is the whimsical popcorn bucket-shaped 'Épure', perfect for gifting or enjoying festive outings, from winter sports events to cozy alpine getaways.

As the holiday season approaches, accessories from Longchamp add a little magic to our lives, sparking energy in every style. 'Fashion has a special power this winter, igniting dreams and excitement,' shares Sophie Duhamel Fontaine. After spinning joyfully across the ice in cozy knitwear, contemporary Parisiennes embrace the evening cloaked in rich gold and red tones. The 'Le Pliage® Extra Gold' shines with its glossy textures, enhancing the retro-chic aesthetic with metallic splendor. Additionally, the luxurious cherry-toned 'Le Roseau Sparkling' is elegantly decorated with sequins, while the irresistibly warm 'Le Roseau Shearling' channels style through a delicate camel fur and gold bamboo handle.

Moreover, the launch of the new 'Le Roseau' clutch, featuring an innovative shape and minimalistic beauty, allows for versatile styling with adjustable straps. Worn on the shoulder for daily flair or casually held at the wrist or hand, this accessory makes a striking fashion statement.

Longchamp’s iconic designs beautifully envelop the modern Parisienne, letting her shine in both the urban winter chill and the enchanting evening ambiance. The detailed collection includes various items that cater to the dynamic lifestyle of the Parisian woman:
