They have the weight of a feather and the colours of the South. With a refined Parisian chic that makes them unique in the world, they have leather as their signature and the charm of Saint-Tropez as their legend.
These are the new summer sandals created by LONGCHAMP x K.JACQUES.
Longchamp Family invites Peggy Frey to discover the secrets behind the making of these sandals, which promise a sweet and beautiful life for all feet.

Sophie Delafontaine, artistic director of Longchamp, takes Peggy Frey, a journalist on the lookout for new trends in Art and Fashion, to the K.Jacques workshop in the heart of Saint-Tropez. A place where craftsmen create the infamous all-leather sandals, here, the scent of leather has been enveloping the premises for 90 years. But one of the most exciting new products to emerge from this legendary place for the 2024 spring-summer season is the new pair of strappy shoes from the LONGCHAMP x K.JACQUES artisanal collaboration.
Bernard Keklikian, CEO of the family-run brand, enthusiastically shares his manufacturing secrets with Peggy Frey and reveals the excellence and combination of two French craftsmanship techniques that go into making these authentic sandals.
It's often said that the simplest creations reflect the finest craftsmanship, with a final aesthetic that is so pure and functionality that is so ingenious. This winning combination is what makes K.Jacques sandals and Le Pliage® bags so successful. From the outset, the collaboration between the two Maisons has felt like a natural fit because they share the same values: a passion for leather and craftsmanship, for know-how that is passed down over time, and for authentic family values that give Longchamp and K.Jacques the vision to design beautiful, authentic objects that stand the test of time.

"We have this in common: we both hold the "Living Heritage Company" label. Even though we're different sizes, we share the same mindset, the same commitment to quality, and we remain family businesses."
— Bernard Keklikian
In Paris, the pure chic style of these strappy sandals borrows all of its design codes from the leather goods line, Le Pliage®, while at the same time embracing the sunshine and ethereality of the iconic village that lies in the south of France. Between the authentic charm and relaxed lifestyle, Paris and Saint-Tropez are but a step apart.
