New York-based cult menswear label founder Shayne Oliver joined forces with French luxury leather goods brand Longchamp to develop a capsule collection of travel accessories and ready-to-wear pieces.
Taking the concept of travel gear into a new era, the collection Longchamp by Shayne Oliver merges Longchamp’s history of craftsmanship and French elegance with Oliver’s transformative aesthetic, resulting in a dynamic offering for both men and women.
The collection includes leather goods, footwear, ready-to-wear, and garment bags, as well as a new iteration of Longchamp’s iconic Le Pliage tote, reimagined by Oliver.
“I really like the idea of working with brands that are masters of their craft,” shared Oliver. “Longchamp has a prestigious history of providing luxury travel essentials with expert craftsmanship. It made total sense to work with them on my first all accessories project.”
Throughout the collection, proportions are challenged and silhouettes are altered, disrupting the preconceptions of modern day travel. Travel takes on a new art form, underscored by unwavering freedom and temporal mobility.
“While this is not the first collaboration for Longchamp or Shayne Oliver, it was a particularly energizing experience to work with Shayne in order to offer an unexpected collection to our customers,” said Longchamp artistic director Sophie Delafontaine.
She added, “Designing Longchamp product through Shayne’s lens was an exciting challenge that allowed us to create product that is truly original.”
The capsule collection rolls out in Longchamp stores early this month.
Longchamp is available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, and Greenbelt 5.
