LeSportsac bags and accessories

LeSportsac is an iconic American lifestyle brand specializing in lightweight nylon handbags, luggage, and travel accessories. Founded in 1974 by Melvin and Sandy Schifter in New York City, the brand revolutionized the industry by introducing functional, unisex bags made from high-performance parachute nylon. In its early years, the company maintained a strong 'Made in USA' manufacturing presence. However, as the brand expanded globally and ownership changed, production shifted to multiple international locations to meet demand.

Today, LeSportsac is owned by Itochu Corporation, a major Japanese conglomerate that acquired the remaining assets of the brand in 2011. While the brand's design and creative heart remain in New York City, the physical manufacturing is primarily conducted in countries across Asia, including China and Vietnam. The brand is celebrated for its frequent collaborations with high-profile designers and its signature sporty yet fashionable aesthetic that remains relevant five decades after its inception.
