The Longchamp x Pokémon designs feature Pikachu, and comes in four exclusive versions: (1) in black and white LGP canvas; (2) in embossed leather; (3) in a numbered, limited edition; and (4) in black canvas featuring a Pikachu specially designed for the fashion house, complete with a jockey’s helmet that pays homage to the Lonchamp logo.
The bags are coming to Pokémon GO!
To celebrate the collab, Pokémon GO players will be able to customize their avatar with a new Longchamp x Pokémon backpack accessory, which will be available between October 2 and November 17, 2020 in the Pokémon GO shop.
