Rooted in its Parisian heritage and driven by innovation, Longchamp continues to shape a more inspiring and sustainable future. The brand remains steadfast in its commitment to meaningful causes, championing support for women, art and young creative talents. By collaborating with partners like Anaka, Longchamp translates its values into action—advancing equal opportunities, fostering inclusion, and expanding access to training.
Since 2018, the NGO Anaka has been dedicated to supporting Madagascan women through employment, facilitating education for children, and promoting environmental stewardship. These principles resonate deeply with Longchamp, making their partnership a natural synergy. For the third consecutive season, Longchamp and Anaka unite to create two exclusive pieces: the Longchamp x Anaka bucket hat and the Le Pliage Filet Mesh bag.
For Summer 2025, under the theme Live Green!, Longchamp’s design teams and Anaka’s skilled artisans have chosen to spotlight raffia—an emblematic material cultivated extensively in Madagascar. This ancestral weaving technique has passed down through generations, transforming the resilient yet supple raffia fibers into refined creations. Sourced from a native palm species, this botanical material seamlessly integrates into the collection, inspired by the vibrant energy of lush greenery.
From sunlit gardens to city streets, the Longchamp x Anaka bucket hat is a must-have for Summer 2025. Handwoven from natural raffia fibers and finished with a signature Longchamp leather label, this versatile piece allows you to infuse your urban outings with a touch of countryside charm.
Equally striking, the Le Pliage Collection net bag reimagines a timeless classic with raffia fringes, evoking the crisp freshness of hand-picked herbs. Designed to be carried effortlessly on the shoulder or in hand, this season’s rendition fuses Longchamp’s iconic codes with artisanal savoir-faire, establishing itself as the most unique summer bag.
Beyond aesthetics, the Longchamp x Anaka collaboration continues to drive real impact. In 2024 alone, the initiative enabled 40 women to work at the Anaka workshop and supported the education of 66 children. Creative Director Sophie Delafontaine expressed: “When we first learned about Anaka, their mission—empowering women through employment while advancing education and environmental conservation—resonated instantly with our CSR initiatives at Longchamp. We are honored to collaborate once again with these remarkable artisans, whose talent and craftsmanship bring deeper meaning to our work.”
Through this enduring partnership, Longchamp reaffirms its dedication to creativity with purpose, bridging effortless chic with social impact and sustainability.
