Longchamp opens fourth boutique in the Philippine­s

- By CHONX TIBAJIA

Taking inspiratio­n from the brand’s Paris flagship store along rue Saint-Honore, Longchamp moves to a new space in Rustan’s Makati. Its fourth boutique in the Philippine­s, the new Longchamp is 65 square meters with modern interiors that echo the Paris store — lots of wood, leather and fabric, and rich textures that highlight the collection­s.

“We are honored to welcome Longchamp into a bigger and better space at Rustan’s Makati. As a brand beloved not only by the Filipino shoppers but by the entire global community, Longchamp further brings prestige and is truly a great part of the Rustan’s portfolio of distinguis­ed retail partners,” says Rustan’s president Donnie Tantoco. “With the opening of this fourth boutique in Manila, discerning Filipinos can now find their favorite collection­s of the French brand’s bags and accessorie­s in more stores across the metro.”

SSI Group president Anton Huang adds, “We’ve had Longchamp inside Rustan’s for many years now. A couple of years back we opened the first boutique in Greenbelt, but this is an entirely new look as far as the store design is concerned. With the new collection, we thought it was a good time to let people know that Longchamp is now in Rustan’s in a much bigger way than it used to be,” says SSI Group president Anton Huang.

Longchamp’s spring/summer collection is highlighte­d in the store, featuring African-inspired patterns, prints and colors, as well as the Mademoisel­le Longchamp handbag. The new collection includes features warm and sunny hues for the classic Le Pliage tote, as well as sunset-inspired shades for leather goods.
