[QUOTE="denniswomack, post: 13806, member: 147"] This is information that dates to about 2002, but I believe still accurate: "LONGCHAMP was founded over 50 years ago in Paris, France. Toward the end of the 1930's, the Cassegrain family began operating the "Au Sultan" tobacco store on Boulevard Poissonnie're. Soon after the liberation of France from the occupying forces of Nazi Germany, during WWII, Jean Cassegrain put his creative spirit to work. To give his stock of pipes a new look, he had the idea of covering them with leather. A family of leather goods makers and a trademark were born as Jean Cassegrain felt that this budding success needed a name and an emblem. In 1948, he chose LONGCHAMP and the symbol (LOGO) of a galloping horse in tribute to the famous Parisian race track. Today, LONGCHAMP is still owned and run by the Cassegrain family; but, the famous leather-covered smoking pipes are no longer produced among the wide range of LONGCHAMP's well respected leather products." ... dennis [/QUOTE]
