LONGCHAMP deploys FOOTBRIDGE to accelerate the eco-design of its collections. LONGCHAMP uses the FOOTBRIDGE service offering to measure the environmental impact of its models. This collaboration, which began in 2023, initially focused on the ready-to-wear and footwear collections.
At the same time, the FOOTBRIDGE team, with the support and business expertise of LONGCHAMP’s teams, launched a project to calculate the environmental impact of leather goods by developing a life-cycle analysis methodology specific to leather products.
