Bunnyshop Sort of Ambivalently Hearts: Le Sportsac

So we have long maintained that Le Sportsac—it is so weird, we actually cannot hear anything in our head but "Le Sport Suck" ... ooh, copy writing job, here we come! Anyway, our friend \ soulmate K. was accompanying us on a sizable portion of our book tour, and, in the process, counting for a sizable portion of the audience and contributing a sizable portion of our emotional stability. We digress. In any case, she was with us for like five days, and managed to get everything in one nof her like nine LSSs she purchased last year at a sample sale. She had asked us to go to this sample sale, and we were all, "Pass," and quite snotty about it, but now, as with so many things, we are totally envious.

We don't know—sometimes they go a little Vera Bradley for us, but in general, we're totally into them. As K. says: "And it's good for like a few nights, and only $80! And not, like $200!" It's weird: We don't totally swoon over any of them, really, but if someone gave us one, we would be soooo happy. And by the way, their website is totally fun, as you can just choose a blank bag and then see how it looks with all the different patterns. We're easily amused.

Isn't this one sort of weirdly Kara Walker, but without all the terrifying slavery imagery? She pretty much owns the whole silhouette thing, we're thinking. Silhouette Symphony overnighter, $88

After perusing the site, I see what you mean about the Vera Bradley-ness, especially with the paisly...I OD'd on Vera Bradley this spring when I went to a Bachelorette weekend and everyone but me had a set of Vera Bradley luggage. My personal opinion is that all her prints are a little bit over the top and grandmotherly...and also the concept of a quilted cloth tote bag seems so impractical to me anyway- how is it not destroyed the first time you check it on a plane? That being said, I was envious of the flat iron cover one of the girls had- that's a time when the quilting makes sense!

Yes, they're a little weird, but they are great for travel. I always buy the plain ones and haul them wherever I go -- which is usually developing countries, especially with the dollar being the way that it is -- and they work wonderfully. And, oddly enough, the Japanese love them. Every girl in Tokyo who isn't carrying a Louis Vuitton is carrying one of these. So it's a way to look cool in that city without paying Louis Vuitton prices.

But this one could be YOUR bag, BS: www.lesportsac.com/store/7854_4776.html

I confess I have two little teeny LS bags for those times when I don't want to carry a big ol' handbag. And then, I do heart the Tokidoki Canguro bag, but cannot bring myself to pay $108 for a fanny pack (ugh--I can hardly stand to even say, "fanny pack."

I bought my "large weekender" LSS abouta year ago with this sweet jungle print: it's all ferns and trees with the occasional tiger or zebra peeking out. I have never ahd a more satisfying and practical travel bag. i love it.

le sportsac bags are the best! theyre lightweight and slightly water & stain-proof so i love 'em for the beach, shopping in markets, or even lugging around work stuff. the large weekender is great for travel bc it folds up into its small pouch and you can cram it into ur suitcase in case u need it for all those extra souviniers or dirty laundry when youre packing up to come home
