Rising London-based designer Mary Katrantzou has collaborated with French label Longchamp for a collection of Eastern-influenced handbags.

Designed with the vision “When East meets West”, the line continues Katrantzou’s signature patterned aesthetic, and includes an array of totes adorned in Eastern-inspired motifs such as orchids and paper lanterns.

With a pre-exclusive launch scheduled January 23, the line will be available at Parisian boutique Colette, whose e-commerce site offers international shipping.

Longchamp has unveiled a new Facebook application that allows users to customize and share their own version of its iconic Le Pliage totebag.

Once exclusively available on Longchamp’s website, Facebook users who “like” the Parisian brand can now create their own bags without leaving Facebook.

The easy, four-step process asks shoppers to chose the model and size of their Le Pliage, customize them with longer straps or short handles, and select colors to produce a one-of-a-kind creation that they can share with their friends.

Longchamp has released pictures of Kate Moss’s first range for the brand, which will be launched at The Ritz during the haute couture week in Paris.

Moss worked with Sophie Delafontaine to create the bags, which center around the three themes of Rock’n'Casual, Rock’n'Travel and Rock’n'Glam.

The collection comprises models ranging from party clutches to shoppers and travel bags, all in red and black leather as well as zebra prints.
