LeSportsac is once again headquartered in my back yard. I love the brand and their merchandise. I've been purchasing the bags and accessories for years. I really don't need more but it's fun to look! If you are in SOHO visit this store. I sometimes order online.
LeSportsac is an American handbag, luggage, and travel accessories company. In 2001, LeSportsac opened its first US main store on Madison Avenue in Manhattan (closed in 2019). That was my store! I visited frequently from the time they opened. I learned about the brand when I moved to Manhattan. Their handbags are very popular for leisure. With the casual dress when I was employed the bags with the solid colors could be worn daily. They never wear out. I can throw it in the washing machine if needed. If you purchase an item and then it goes on sale they graciously credit the difference to your credit card. I've had that experience in the past with the backpack I purchased online.
Most of the bags come with a cosmetic case in the matching print of the bag. It's all about the convenient pocket placement for phone, keys and metro card. When my friend from Florida stayed with me I gave her one of my bags to use so she'd have everything at her fingertips. It's definitely a NYC necessity. I highly recommend their products.
A little company history: LeSportsac, Inc. was started in 1974 in NYC by Melvin and Sandy Schifter. Until the sale of the company LeSportsac products were made in the United States. Melvin and Sandy Schifter informally retired from day-to-day operations around 1990. They left Melvin's son Tim Schifter to manage the company.
PS LeSportsac is very very popular in Japan I've heard! I'm definitely recommending you visit this store. read more
