Renowned French Luxury House Longchamp opened its boutique in Mumbai’s Palladium Mall; this being its second boutique in India after inaugurating its flagship store in July last year at DLF Emporio, Delhi. The Artistic Director of Longchamp, Sophie Delafontaine & Radha Kapoor Khanna of DO IT Retail Brands (I) Pvt.

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.
