Dentro del mundo de los accesorios, las bolsas son ese icono cotidiano de culto que llevamos con nosotros a todos los eventos y escenarios. Algunas han recorrido el mundo con nosotros, otras nos han llevado a vivir nuevas experiencias y algunas más portan todo aquello que necesitamos en nuestro día a día, pero para que una bolsa se distinga del millón, hoy por hoy, debe de fundir elegancia y versatilidad.
Two concepts that you can be contradictory, come alive through certain pieces that have behind the savoir-faire of the perfect execution, such as Longchamp Green, a design that has accompanied us for decades and now, is rewritten under codessustainable.
Classic classic ...
Talking about this model means referring to a watershed in the world of accessories that now rewrites its own rules, which we talk to Jean Cassegrain, the CEO of the brand, who has closely looked at the evolution of this design.
'We made this piece feel and look like its predecessor, but in such a way that we also seek to reduce our carbon footprint and encourage the use of recyclable fibers, somehow, it could be said that we could keep the product intact for the newGenerations, 'he says.
The challenge for this piece was to guarantee the quality of products.‘Many materials are currently used that can be considered attractive to trends, but they are not really favorable to the environment, in addition to the product will not last enough.Le Pliage has very interesting qualities, it is a model that it has always been considered light and easy to carry, we could evolve and take a step towards sustainability with this piece, but without altering its essence or the perception with which it has been conceived, as well as its durability.We had to investigate to find the intact materials, so that it was the modern version of the icon that is really, ’he details.
Some of the details that make this bag particular is that even the closure is made of recycled polyester, as well as the nylon that integrates it, in the case of the straps, they are also made of recycled material.
Joining sustainability
While some believe that these ideas cannot go in the same prayer, Jean Cassegrain affirms that he finds a lot of affinity between them: 'I think they are going together because in the end, luxury is about creating and having pieces that can last a long time, something thatIt is clearly seen in the Fast Fashion.In my opinion, luxury is to create products that prevail over the years and that you can even pass to your children, it is a word that loads the notion of time, so for me the quality is as important as sustainability, in such a way that they leave traces in multiple forms.
A brief look at the past
For those who do not know, this model was created and released by Philippe Cassegrain in 1993, with the intention of contributing to the market a bag that felt effortless and light, which was created from military nylon and that today inday, it is reinterpreted under the brand's sustainability codes.
This bag now lands in Latin America under classic block colors that are incredibly easy to combine.This icon now becomes a reference of a more step that this iconic brand gives to move in the world of sustainability, redefining the luxury by the hand of a classic.
