Here’s the thing: autumn is always about transition. The light softens, the air sharpens, and wardrobes begin to shift with the season. Few houses understand this pivot better than Longchamp, and for its fall/winter 2025 collection, the brand leans into it with a collection that marries French elegance to British bite. Designed for women who move easily between settings and moods, the collection unfolds almost like a journey, each chapter shaped by a change in place and pace.

It begins in Paris, where the atelier spirit informs clothes that are practical yet refined. Then it drifts into the English countryside, where textures soften and colours borrow from the land. Finally, it lands in London, where silhouettes sharpen and the energy crackles with edge In Paris, the mood is grounded in workwear but elevated with quiet sophistication. White shirts echo the painter’s smock, utility trousers fall with ease, and overalls are layered for function and flair. A scarf knotted at the neck softens the look, clogs keep it grounded, and the Le Roseau tote—refreshed this season in supple leather, sleek patent, or cheeky faux fur—anchors the ensemble.

The overall palette, such as marmalade-coloured paths, skies in the shade of tea rose, and moss-green fields, borrows from the English landscape. These hues are gentle but not fragile, just as ready for a city commute as for a countryside walk.
Accompanying this chapter is the Le Foulonné bag, with its curved, roomy, and practical yet feminine lines. It’s a bag built for sketchbooks and journals, but polished enough to sit under the arm at dinner. Texture shapes much of the collection, with padded kimono jackets adding volume and warmth, shearling vests bringing tactility, and long cashmere dresses enveloping the wearer like a blanket.
Then comes the London chapter, and the tone begins to sharpen. Silhouettes turn bolder: a tuxedo-inspired kimono jacket teamed with a leather mini, thigh-high boots that stride through the streets, glossy trenches that catch every flicker of neon. The palette, too, intensifies, with reds and blacks dominating, while leopard print flashes from linings. Vinyl and patent leather bring gloss and attitude. The brand’s iconic Le Roseau resurfaces in this collection, this time in leopard-lined patent or wrapped in faux fur.

Outerwear is where Longchamp flexes its craftsmanship most visibly. This season, the house partners with Gloverall, the London brand famed for perfecting the duffle coat, to reimagine the classic in double-faced wool. Striped linings replace the traditional plaid, while bamboo-inspired toggles nod back to the Le Roseau. It’s a clever detail, linking coat and bag, past and present, Paris and London.
Elsewhere, a trench in a high-gloss finish bridges the gap between function and glamour. Yes, it’s built for rain yet cut to make one shine under city lights. What unites the collection is a refusal to compromise between practicality and elegance. For instance, bags are capacious enough for everyday use, coats are cut for walking, and boots are made for movement. The result is a familiar wardrobe that feels refreshed, desirable and grounded.
“From Paris to London is a love letter to savoir-faire,” says Sophie Delafontaine, Longchamp’s creative director. “From our capsule with Constantin Riant to our collaboration with Gloverall of London, we wanted this season to celebrate different forms of craftsmanship from a contemporary viewpoint.” That celebration is visible in every seam, clasp and toggle, in pieces that translate heritage into something wearable now.
Indeed, the collection’s strength lies in its adaptability. The duality of calm and energy that Delafontaine speaks of is also evident throughout the collection and campaign visuals. They include the soft knits set against high-shine vinyl, as well as the countryside hues offset by London drama. To put it another way, the Longchamp woman this season doesn’t just get dressed; she keeps going.
