Sporty Spice

LeSportSac Bags

We’ve been dying to plug leg warmers.

We wanted to declare the off-the-shoulder sweatshirt The New Old Thing.

Tab: The new Cosmopolitan?

But as much as we like making these things up, we owe it to you to be legit.

Our vote for best comeback item of the season: LeSportsac. It’s back and with quite a following. Seen hanging off the arm of model Frankie Raider. Kidada Jones wears hers low. The View‘s Lisa Ling is a collector, and special orders hers from Japan.

Resilient, durable creations (hence the sport reference in the name), they hold everything a girl could stuff into them (kind of like your Jogbra, hence the sport reference in the name). And prices range from $16 to $70, which kicks some serious baguette butt.

Our favorites: The Kiki (a sequined purse similar to the Fendi one), and the Demi Tasse, an evening bag that’s as dainty as it is practical.

All our way of saying, never mind the sport reference in the name.
