Longchamp takes another step in reducing carbon footprint. It unveils the new Le Pliage® Green which comes with a body made of recycled polyamide (nylon) canvas certified by Global Recycled Standard (GRS). Pre-consumer waste such as nylon stockings, and offcuts from textile production process are recovered, analysed, treated, then reprocessed into polyamide fibre, then yarn, and finally polyamide canvas.
This year, the world’s most famous foldable bag evolves itself with recycled nylon, marking start of Longchamp’s transition to employing this responsible material throughout the entire Le Pliage® collection by 2022.
