LeSportsac Classic Deluxe Everyday Bag

This bag is made of good quality material and machine wash.

I hate to admit that I now have to buy handbags for comfort instead of style. When I discovered LeSportsac, I have found both qualities. I work at a large business campus so I need to lug everything and the kitchen sink around. I got tired of my heavy designer totes as though they look good they can add up to 6 pounds to my shoulders and back. So after having so many sport injuries over the years the Doc says no more heavy bags!! I saw someone with the Giddy up Lesportsac and fell in love. I now have every version of that design in my closet. What I love is that I can buy several of this brand for what I paid for one designer bag. Some folks think they are expensive but I disagree as the value received far outweighs the price. So I am working on getting a full set of all my favorite designs. Some are Kooky but some are very unique and I get So many ompliments on the unique designs that I never got on my designer bags that everyone carries. The bags are well made, unique, lightweight, and VERY functional but still stylish. Because it has two main sections, I can carry my regular load of cosmetics, eyeglasses, cologne, essentially all my daily sundries on one side. On the other side I carry my mini tablet, small notebook, writing tools, small calculator, wallet and my iPod. I use the outside pockets to carry my phone and keys. There is so much organization in this bag that you can carry alot and it still not get heavy. The strap is adjustable and I prefer to use it as a shoulder bag but when I travel to big cities it goes cross body just fine. I also have the small Cleo that I prefer as a crosssbody on weekends but this Everyday bag is really great for the work day. It's a workhorse and I love that it expands if necessary. Last but not least, this bag comes with a small zip bag that I use to carry my electric cords for my gadgets. I also can fit that in my bag or I stick it in my rolling briefcase. The giddy up design is so colorful that it can be coordinated with most colors if you like to match your bag to your outfit. I even have carried it to formal business meetings and get tons of compliments from the other gals who have their boring black designer bag In tow. The only event I might not carry it is a formal event but the small cross bodies in patent black might just work fine or one of the zip bags as a clutch. I think if Lesportsac carried a formal event design or two they would sell quickly. These bags are awesome! Even better if you get one on sale. I find that you can get the previous season styles on sale on other sites but I always buy from Amazon as they have the best return policy. I don't have a negative thing to say about this brand in the Everyday crosssbody bag style.

I've had this handbag for a week now and it's the only one I am using. Because it is rip stop nylon it is very light on its own. Because it is so roomy, I had to be careful to not overload it with stuff I really don't need to be dragging around with me. I love the zippered pocket configuration on the exterior. The back has one full width pocket and the front has two pockets (one about 7 inches wide, the other about 5 inches wide). There are two separate zippered inside compartments. The front compartment has an attached zippered pocket, and the bag came with a separate, matching pouch. Loaded with everything I truly need to have with me there is still plenty of room inside, it isn't too heavy, and I will probably never need to unzip the bottom. Yesterday I even popped a travel size umbrella in the bag because I thought it was going to rain. I've also carried a pint size bottle of water upright and the bag zipped. I use a Samsung Tablet (7 inches by 9.5 inches) and should I need to do so, I can put it in the bag and zip it. The carrying strap is a major plus as well. It is sturdy, it is wide enough that it doesn't dig into your shoulder, and it stays in place. Once adjusted to the length you want, the strap holds that length. I was previously carrying another brand of washable travel bag that was smaller. I considered buying that same brand again but couldn't find a size and shape that I liked. Once I started looking at what LeSportsac has to offer (I also own one of their backpacks that I bought in 2011 and use constantly for travel), I had an "AHA!" moment. I didn't really choose this pattern. It chose me because it was on sale. It has turned out to be a good choice and is working out just fine. I will be using this bag for years to come and I will buy the same style again. The tag inside my bag says it was made in Cambodia. I have no issues whatsoever with the quality of this bag.

I got this bag as a replacement for my bulky diaper bag I was tired of carrying around since my son is now 2, and this is the perfect transition bag if you have a toddler! I wanted something cross body, big but not too big, lot of compartments, somewhat cute, an easy fabric to take care of in case his cup spilled inside the bag - this bag meets all those requirements! When his water spills in my bag (still can't find a cup that's spill proof!!), all I have to do is wipe it up with a paper towel, and good as new. I also love that there are 2 big main compartments. I put my stuff in one (wallet, coupons, etc) and all his stuff in the other (a ziploc with an extra diaper and wipes, Wet Ones, hand sanitizer, couple of toys like trains, his sunglasses, sunblock, cup) - with room to spare! The big downside to this bag for me is that you can easily weight it down, and it really bulges out if you fill it too much. I'm pretty petite, so then it starts to actually look more like a messenger bag than a purse, not to mention my shoulder/back will get sore. That's why I don't think I'll ever unzip for the extra 1/2-1" of space, but I guess that's a nice feature to have. There's yet another back pocket, which is where I keep 1-2 more diapers. Technically my changing pad fits in there too, but I tried to cut down on the bulk for the reason just stated. (I usually change him standing up in the car anyway, and I have another backup changing pad/kit I keep in the car). In the front 2 pockets, I put my phone (iPhone 5) in the bigger pocket, and keys in the other along with a lip balm/tint. Looks wise - it's not the most stylish and I'd still prefer a regular purse over this, but functionality wins out for me when I'm on the go with my son. I went with Nauticool, which I'm happy with. Overall, I recommend!
