Pop Culture 

The Essential collection is made for trendsetting chameleons. The Spring/Summer offerings see a new take on camouflage, lush blossoms and bold colours as well as sweet confections. The fresh interpretation of  florals, using abstract floral patterns, is reason enough to splash your cash on more arm candy. The palette is skewed towards bright solids and unique pop colour-block combinations accented by red, navy and black overtones. New items include a belt bag, two cross-bodies, three totes, charms and a wristlet. All that means you can update your everyday style without overhauling your wardrobe.

Chisato’s colourfully creative and whimsical prints are a match made in heaven with LeSportsac’s iconic and globally recognisable styles. In these pieces, Chisato expresses happiness by using illustrations of birds flying over Mount Fuji, singing words of love and happiness, or winging their way across a flower-filled sky. Choose from a wide range that includes wallets, cosmetics pouches, handbags, totes, and book bags, plus an assortment of exclusive charms.

Forever Young

The Bambi x LeSportsac collection, on the other hand, will delight the child in you and, of course, all Disney fans. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the beloved classic, Bambi, the pieces in this range are inspired by the animated film’s original artwork, and they shine the spotlight on Bambi and his best friends, Thumper and Flower. The trio are shown either in an authentic painterly style or stylised in original pencil-sketch illustrations. Pieces are available in select LeSportsac Classic designs, with a vintage cameo inspired zipper that sports the image of the adorable Bambi.
