When I was in France in May the Longchamp in- flight purchase was navy blue with the expanded part beige. Air France is also offering their own design expandable in red,white and blue very bland. The Longchamp was a good price but I bought the Eiffel Tower.
Last year Luthansa was also offering a large Longchamp and the Royal Princess cruise ship gift shop had both cuir and nylon choices but just basic colors.

Anxious to see the new replacement for Eiffel bags this year and colors available. I am going to Paris in May and hope to grab one. The price difference in Europe is huge. I bought the Fantasie polka and pouch for the same price I would pay for regular cost in U.S.

Perhaps this is the replacement for the landmark Pliage bags. If you look closely you can see the words "London," "New York" and "Paris."

Longchamp Gets Graphic Spin with Vahram Muratyan Collaboration
Vahram Muratyan, best known for his 'Paris Versus New York' series, has added his signature aesthetic to the Parisian brand's Le Pliage hero product.

PARIS, France — Graphic designer Vahram Muratyan is pitting the world's fashion capitals against each other in his new collaboration with Longchamp.

Muratyan — who is best known for his “Paris Versus New York” project and has previously worked with the likes of Prada, Smythson and Dior — has given the brand's classic Le Pliage a graphic spin by stamping Paris, London or New York on the bag, somewhat disguised in an origami-like font.

“During the creative process I was on my way to Tokyo,” Murtyan tells BoF of his inspiration for the line. “Le Pliage means folding and draws some of its playfulness from the art of origami. I started to draw creased squares and design letters this way. I decided to create a full alphabet, a new special font for Longchamp; my wish was to look at the bags and find the words Paris, London or New York, but not right away. I certainly wanted to exit the ‘tourist-souvenir bag’ area.”

“I’ve known and followed Vahram’s work for a while now,” Sophie Delafontaine, artistic director at Longchamp, tells BoF. “My brother Jean [Cassegrain, Longchamp chief executive] and I have always admired his work for its colourful aesthetic, bold lines and clever play on words. We thought Vahram could bring a fresh eye to our already widely popular collection.”

Longchamp is no stranger to collaborations; in the past the brand has worked with a diverse range of talents including Tracy Emin, Kate Moss, Mary Katranzou and Jeremy Scott. “Each new collaboration pushes Longchamp forward,” Delafontaine explains. “Doing these capsules, we love to open our doors to creatives who approach our bags in a new way, present new technical challenges, and enlarge our point of view.”

The family-owned Parisian house, which will celebrate its 70th anniversary next year, is in the midst of an aggressive global expansion strategy: this year has seen the house open flagships in Moscow and Shanghai, with a Tokyo flagship is set to open this autumn and a new Fifth Avenue, New York flagship planned for 2018.
