“Live Green!”, the Longchamp Summer 2025 collection, offers the Parisienne an array of shoes in step with nature. Not only is there a new collaboration with K. JACQUES, the cele- brated artisan from Saint-Tropez, but there are also platform sandals, loafer-mules and even gardening boots. Here are the key pieces of a season with one foot in the country.
The surprise of summer? Longchamp and K. JACQUES, both family businesses, are getting together once more for a fresh, colorful colla- boration. A new Longchamp x K. JACQUES sandal steps into the spotlight, featuring a central strap adorned with a bamboo toggle, a jewel-like detail inspired by the emblematic Le Roseau bag. Two traditions of savoir-faire unite to express a sun-filled art de vivre.
Put away those clumpy gardening clogs! Loafer- mules in cowhide leather make a stylish transi- tion from the banks of the Seine to the country market. When the Parisienne is in the mood for a change, she slips on a pair of flat, rope-soled sandals whose interwoven leather straps reference the Re-Play bucket bag.
For an elegant escapade in the country, shoes come ready to party. Ballet pumps in glazed lambskin adorned with Longchamp’s signature bamboo toggle and suede sandals with a comfor- table cork platform are sure to turn heads as they dance until dawn.
For rural sightseeing, the Parisienne alternates between her sneakers made from recycled ma- terials and her trekking-style suede ankle boots. Curious and determined, she strides across the fields in high rubber boots, drawing energy from direct contact with nature.
“Walking barefoot through the grass is one of the pleasures of summer, but this season our shoes give that very same sense of freedom. It’s just a short step from the streets of Paris to the fields of wheat... From the sandals we have designed with K. JACQUES, to our loafer-mules, ballet pumps and boots, each and every pair makes you want to get out in the fresh air.”
