It's often said that the simplest creations reflect the finest craftsmanship, with a final aesthetic that is so pure and functionality that is so ingenious. This winning combination is what makes K.Jacques sandals and Le Pliage® bags so successful. From the outset, the collaboration between the two Maisons has felt like a natural fit because they share the same values: a passion for leather and craftsmanship, for know-how that is passed down over time, and for authentic family values that give Longchamp and K.Jacques the vision to design beautiful, authentic objects that stand the test of time.

“What we have in common is that we've both been awarded the “Living Heritage Company” label”, says Bernard Keklikian. Even though we're different in terms of size, we share the same mindset, the same quest for quality, and we remain family-run businesses. ”
