Summer afternoons at the beach have a way of putting everyone in a good mood. For Spring Summer 2026, Longchamp invites us to lean into that feeling with a little surf culture thrown in. The sun-kissed collection brings together pop and sorbet hues with fluid, easy silhouettes that feel made for long days by the water and warm evenings after.
Keep in Check
The madras check, a perennial summer favourite, makes its return in sun-washed shades of blush, sunset and marigold. Cut into dresses with the slip-on ease of a kimono wrap, they double effortlessly as beach cover-ups.
Swimsuits reinforce the seaside mood, but these cheerful pieces aren’t confined to the shore. It’s easy to picture them moving through the city too, carrying a little of that summer afterglow into everyday life.
Rugged Appeal
Preppy style is having a moment again. Longchamp taps into the trend with rugby shirts finished with contrast collars and bold stripes, rendered in mid-century–inspired colour pairings like burgundy with butter yellow, or teal with pink.
Beyond the classic shirt, the look also appears as a sleeveless maxi dress, an unexpected twist that balances feminine allure with sporty appeal.
The Looong Game
For navigating the city, the Looong bag is a sleek new companion. Its elongated east–west silhouette, inspired by equestrian leather goods, tucks neatly under the arm. Perfect for cafe stops and everyday errands alike.
Crafted from supple cowhide, it comes in classic shades like black, mocha and tonka red, alongside softer hues of sky blue and pistachio. Compact yet practical, the Looong sits somewhere between a day bag and an evening clutch. Easy, modern and quietly chic.
Mane Character Energy
The Longchamp horse takes on a new personality this season. A print reminiscent of vintage souvenir T-shirts reimagines the house icon in motion, its flowing mane caught in the wind.
Rendered in pink and splashed across T-shirts and sweatshirts in coral, lagoon and mint, the graphic gives the emblem a free-spirited edge. It’s an easygoing update that perfectly captures the collection’s carefree, vacation-ready mood.
Craft With a Purpose
Beyond the breezy silhouettes, the season carries a more thoughtful note. In conjunction with International Women’s Day, Longchamp renews its partnership with the NGO Anaka for the third year, spotlighting female artisans in Madagascar.
Working with the LANA workshop founded by Narindra, the initiative supports traditional techniques such as weaving, crochet and basketry while providing stable work for 40 artisans and helping fund education and care for 66 children.
The collaboration also produces a handful of handcrafted summer pieces, from the raffia Le Roseau tote to a reworked Le Pliage Filet string bag, alongside woven sunhats and playful accessories.
It’s a quiet reminder that behind the light-hearted, beach-bound mood of the season lies something more lasting: the preservation of craft and the communities that keep it alive.
