Jeremy Scott, the print-crazy British designer of Flintstones-themed clothing fame, and Longchamp, the staid French luxury house famous for solid-color nylon totes, might seem like kind of an odd couple on the surface, but the Buy through Colette for $264 just goes to prove the old clich̩ Рopposites attract.
I stared at this bag for a few seconds before it hit me that I was looking at tromp l’oeil tire tracks, which has Jeremy Scott written all over it. His prints are thoroughly modern and often unconventional, but I’ve never seen one that I found too weird or too displeasing to love. He does a great job of bringing pop art to the fashion world, and his designs are often surprisingly useable.
As for the Longchamp portion of this design, I think we all know why the brand’s bags are popular. This one is waterproof for bad weather and its no-fuss lines perfectly display Scott’s large-scale pattern. The coupling of the two brands is counter-intuitive, but looking at the final product, it makes so much sense. Jonathan Anderson Brings His Modern, Experimental Vision to Dior for Spring 2026.
No AI, algorithms, divisive politics, or infighting. Social media as it should be.
Now to find one in the UK…
It’s different and I like it. The structure seems to lean more towards an overnight bag than an actual purse but no matter. I still like it.
It’s odd. That’s why I like it. Waterproof is a definite plus now that the wet snows have started at last.

It is edgy, different and the colors work great together.
Amanda, you just gave me a new mission: … find this in Vienna airport tomorrow. My trusted brown Longchamp pliage is showing its age and needs the support of a younger sibling.
update … mission failed … actually NO Pliage bags are available till Xmas … bummer … bought Ferragamo granny shoes instead ( blame the Champagne in the lounge for that !!!)
I love how graphic the tire print is on this tote. It just works!
Love it!!
Very interesting! Love it. And a great price, too.
