Longchamp may be synonymous with the Le Pliage, its foldable tote loved for practicality and Parisian ease. But now, the French maison introduces its next everyday essential, Le Cadence. Debuting for fall-winter 2026, the full-leather collection carries that same sense of versatility and timeless appeal.
The name comes from the French word for ‘rhythm’, reflecting a design built to move with modern life. Longchamp drew inspiration from the understated elegance of la Parisienne. The collection therefore suits anyone who wants a bag that keeps pace, from busy weekdays to spontaneous weekend getaways.

Crafted from supple full-grain cowhide leather, Le Cadence showcases the maison’s celebrated leather craftsmanship. Longchamp leaves the minimally structured silhouettes intentionally unlined, so the natural beauty of the leather shines through. You notice the rich texture and soft, velvety feel at once. Each bag also ages beautifully, developing its own character over time.
Beyond the leather itself, the collection stays true to Longchamp’s signature aesthetic. The familiar leather flap comes in tonal leather, finished with the distinctive equestrian emblem. A magnetic closure then opens to a generous interior with a flat pocket for daily essentials. Pale gold hardware and an adjustable shoulder strap complete each design. Choose from two sizes and five timeless shades: Black, Burgundy, Mocha, Dulce and Vanilla.
For days when you carry only the essentials, the top-handle Le Cadence L Bucket Bag offers a compact option at SGD845. It measures 18 cm by 23 cm by 11 cm, and the softly structured silhouette feels relaxed yet polished. An adjustable, removable strap lets you carry it by hand, on the shoulder or crossbody, making it an effortless companion.
If you prefer a little more room, the Le Cadence M Shoulder Bag steps up at SGD1110. Measuring 28 cm wide, 31 cm high and 17 cm deep, it fits a laptop beside your daily essentials. A wide adjustable strap, secured with side studs, also keeps wear comfortable all day. So could Le Cadence be your new everyday essential? Discover it on Longchamp’s e-store, or visit boutiques this August to see it up close.
