A World of Artisans: Beloved Addresses from the Friends of La Maison
Sparked by the collaboration between Longchamp and Constantin Riant, this guide maps out the favourite artisans of the Maison's friends.
Longchamp's collaboration with Parisian artist Constantin Riant is above all an encounter; the meeting of a Maison founded on a love of craftsmanship and an artist whose universe is deeply rooted in the French capital's cobbled streets. Together, they pay tribute to the city's artisanal richness with an exclusive capsule collection, each piece relaying a story, craft, avenue or emotion.
As a natural extension of this collaboration, Longchamp invites friends of the Maison to share the destinations of their favourite artisans. From Tokyo to New York, Seoul to Paris, everyone has chosen three iconic places from the heart. Some secret, some unmissable, these locations make up a geography of craftsmanship and the art of living. Much more than a simple city guide, the project gives rise to a Longchamp World Guide – an invitation to explore our planet through the Maison's eyes, sharpened to handiwork, detail and authenticity.
This global travelogue is not just for seasoned voyagers but anyone hoping to explore if not discover an area from the perspective of its greatest admirers. Treasure it for your next trip, to the other side of the world or just around the corner.
