It isn’t everyday I come across an accessory which is affordable, fashionable, artistic and versatile.

I have always loved and carried bags and backpacks designed by LeSportsac for those reasons and more. Being wheelchair disabled, I need roomy bags which can hold many items to assist in my day-to-day routine. I am one of those women who likes to carry a towel, socks, foldable hat and leggings just in case I get soaked in the rain. In a flash,  I can change into dry clothes. Add 5 lipsticks, credit cards, power bars and a water bottle to that list and a roomy backpack is in order.

Another reason I defer to LeSportsac as a must-have accessory is for their history of covetable collaborations with designers such as Stella McCartney and Gwen Stefani.

Recently, LeSportsac has teamed up with Japanese designer Tsumori Chisato to design a line of backpacks, totes and bag accessories to produce a colorful, painterly, graphic collection to match an entire wardrobe.

If you don’t know Tsumori Chisato, I will clue you in. (I referenced one of her designs in this 2014 blog post.) She was a protégé of designer Issey Miyake in the 70s, eventually starting her own line in 1990. She brings whimsy, quirkiness, intricate beading, precocious femininity referencing Manga, Japanese cartoon style, to her collections. What I love most are her textiles, which are usually hand printed, drawn or digitally manipulated.
