Longchamp unveiled limited edition handbags namely ‘The Peacock Majestic Le Pliage Héritage’ and ‘India the Vibrant Le Pliage Héritage’ inspired by India and only available in the country. In addition to this, the fashion House also debuted its Fall 2017 collection which is inspired by the 1970s Parisian, strong, feminine woman full of contrast who embodies the posture, the attitude and the state of mind of a free, independent and active woman.

The evening was an avant-garde translation of French savior faire where music, fashion, and art converged and city’s well heeled, stylish and über cool came together to welcome Longchamp to Mumbai. Manushi Chhillar, Aahana Kumra, Kubra Sait, Shriya Saran, Poonam Dhillon, amongst others were seen enjoying the evening of celebration.
