Off to the beach with Jeremy
New York designer Jeremy Scott, whose works are inspired by pop-culture, has once again teamed up with Longchamp.
His latest “Le Pliage” bag has the summer in mind. One side portrays a colourful graphic depicting the sun shining on golden beach with the word “Greeting from Paradise, The Lord of Sunshine”, while another portrays a postcard with the words ‘Wish You were here! Love Jeremy!’ with his own portrait on the postage stamp.
