LeSportsac Special Magazine 2012 Spring/Summer Collection

According to Amazon Japan, the LeSportsac Special Magazine 2012 Spring/Summer Collection will be released on 1 March in Japan. Priced at 1380yen, it comes with a tote bag with a detachable strap and heart-shaped charm. This will be available in two versions: Picnic and Dot. LeSportsac mooks are usually very popular as the accessories are well-made at an affordable price point. My guess is that this will cost around S$35 at Kinokuniya in Singapore as the Penhaligon's mook, which was 1470yen, costs S$36.70. The bags for the 2011 mook look cute but may be a tad too small to be of much practical use. Still, I think I definitely will get the Picnic version!

Of the LeSportsac mooks from 2009, 2010 and 2011, my favourite print remains the 2009 Beauty Girl print but the accessories that I use most frequently are the 2010 multi-cases. I use these whenever I travel as they are perfect for carrying different currencies, cards and my passport.

I'm also looking forward to the upcoming mooks listed on the Takarajima website:

Tsumori Chisato 2012 Spring & Summer(24 Feb)

Liberty Print 2012 Spring & Summer (25 Feb)

Jill Stuart 15th Anniversary Special Issue (mid-March)
