It’s fashionable and functional. Prints add interest and create newness for the customer—that is LeSportsac’s specialty. They basically have a library of bag forms they work off and print with new patterns each season. The aesthetic is perhaps more female, in that men may expect something more rugged, but the material is durable, and it’s functional for a duffel in terms of size and pockets. Katie Mullins, part of the Flight 001 Travel Innovations Team, our think tank, coined a travel term appropriate for the Big Weekender: “souvenir bag.” You could pack this flat in another bag, and return from vacation with it filled. —John Sencion
