Thanks to the book I’m currently reading (The House Dress: A Story of Eroticsm and Fashion) I’ve learned that using printed fabric used to be regarded as a lesser alternative to traditional clothing. It’s much harder to notice seams and stitches beneath a print, so it could be used to disguise shoddy craftsmanship or an amateur sewing job. I’m not sure when things changed, but thankfully these days prints get just as much respect as solid color clothing. I’m hooked.
Right now I’m pretty over the moon for printed LeSportSac weekend bags. I don’t have one (yet), but I’ve wanted one since this one time I saw some at a Nordstrom’s Rack in Chicago and thought I’d come back for one – but never did. A few days ago I did a not-so-scientific online survey of weekend bags and determined that LeSportSac made the best ones. As luck (or planning) would have it I’m Euro-hopping in October, and have decided that carrying a LeSportSac weekend bag will be the best way to stay nimble while navigating through baggage restrictions and across old cobblestone streets.
I already spent a good 20 minutes discussing with a friend which print I should buy. There are so many to choose from I’m just delighted to have such a field of options. I present the top ones (from Endless.com), here:
Tough choice! There are even more options at Endless.com – 27, to be exact. You can click on any one of the pictures to see the full selection. You can also go to the LeSportSac website, this Macy’s search result, or this one, to see even more options. And just to be clear – I didn’t take any of these photos. I took screenshots of what I found on the web, and linked the pictures to their respective sites.
What's your opinion?
