To describe Longchamp, is to write a family story. That of the Cassegrain family, who inherited the passion for leather and creativity from the House's founder : Jean Cassegrain.

Today, the House is in the hands of the third generation of Cassegrain: his eldest son, Jean is the CEO, his daughter, Sophie Delafontaine, the creative director, and his younger son, Olivier, leads the brand’s development of American boutiques.

From the beginning, the House set the tone by creating a luxury pipe sheathed in leather. Jean Cassegrain establishes Longchamp’s reputation by selling goods to both the international clientele wandering along the Grands Boulevards and to the Parisians frequenting the theatres of the capital. Longchamp's success holds in four words : creation, quality, work, service.
