With only 4 years since her first Ready to Wear collection shown, but already having collections available in over 60 stores worldwide, collaborations with Topshop and Christian Louboutin, and work featured in the likes of Vogue and Dazed & Confused, it should come as no surprise that French leather and luxury Goods company, Longchamp has chosen to collaborate with Greek born and London based designer Mary Katrantzou for their new series of hand and travel bags.


The collection was inspired by the concept of East meets West, and features bright, colourful prints featuring Asian style lanterns mixed with flowers, architecture, elements and illustrations from both worlds. Designed in Mary’s own “baroque world”, the collection with its bold prints and colours is perfect for summer days or for travels.

With her unique eye for bold and graphic prints, originality and attitude, there is no doubt that this is just the start for Mary Katrantzou.

The Mary Katrantzou for Longchamp collection starts at $160 and is now available from Longchamp.com.
