When spring slowly turns into summer, the Parisian woman moves out of the city to the sea because she longs for the feeling of freedom. This lively mood is reflected in the Parisian’s summer wardrobe. The looks are looser and more colorful, with bright accents in sunny pop or pastel tones.
The spirit of the 2026 summer collection is inspired by the surfing world: the horse of the Longchamp logo is transformed into a motif of a rearing horse surrounded by waves, in keeping with the motto “Catch the Parisian Wave”. The highlights of the season are a light blue denim jacket with wave embroidery, a dress with surfboard motifs and a loose shirt combined with short, wide shorts. Tweed, knit and cotton appear in soft color gradients, warm colors inspired by the sunset and colorful Madras checks – creating a lively, graphic play of colors.
When it comes to accessories, the Re-Play line draws on the practical, versatile bags popular with surfers, while the Épure bag is worn around the neck like a pendant – a colorful summer talisman.
Natural materials are the epitome of this summer. A collaboration with the NGO Anaka in Madagascar creates a Le Roseau bag made of raffia material, decorated with a natural leather cord and rounded off with the iconic Le Roseau clasp made of maple wood. The Le Panier Pliage bag captures the summer vibes with its beach towel-inspired color gradients. A special highlight of the Le Roseau line is this version made of cotton canvas, which focuses on natural beauty.
Summer wouldn’t be summer without a straw hat, sunglasses and a swimsuit! When the Parisian returns after a long day at the beach, she slips into lambskin mules with Le Roseau detail, long dresses with wave patterns, polo shirts with wide stripes or ruffled Madras blouses – perfect for cool summer evenings.
“This season I wanted to capture the lifestyle of female surfers – wild and free, but also feminine and elegant. The collection focuses on bright colors and patterns that invite you to let go and be creative to stay stylish all summer long.” — Sophie Delafontaine, Creative Director of Longchamp.
