GOODY TWO SHOES: Longchamp, the French leather goods brand known for its nylon Pliage bag, has introduced two boot styles for next fall: a black leather boot and a suede style with a patent leather toe, both available in long and short versions. The footwear was unveiled to a group of retailers from Europe and the Mideast during the house’s first-ever runway show Monday, held at Paris’ Espace Richelieu. There’s no sign of the brand joining the city’s official fashion week circuit, however. “It’s a way of showing our bags in a more enticing way than on shelves,” said Longchamp’s managing director, Jean Cassegrain. The event also showcased the house’s growing ready-to-wear line, distributed in Longchamp stores only.
