LeSportsac 2012 Spring/Summer Collection Mook: Picnic

Thanks to Mag, I was able to get the LeSportsac 2012 Spring/Summer Collection mook which comes with a charming pouch in the new Picnic print.

The "2 way nano sized pouch" measures just 27x20x7cm, so I would use this as a bag-in-bag instead. The design is a miniature version of the Everygirl tote. There is also a Dot version (black with white polka dots) which you can see on Womania.

The mook retails for 1380yen on Amazon Japan and US$27.49 on YesAsia.com (inclusive of free international shipping). I don't know the exact price at Kinokuniya in Singapore but I think it is at least S$30. It does seem pricey but considering that the Picnic Junior Every Girl Tote (20x20x10cm) retails at 6510yen, the price of the mook looks reasonable in comparison.

The whimsical picnic print sprinkled with cherries, strawberries and butterflies turned out to be much more attractive in real life than I had expected, based on the official images online. I also liked the placement on my pouch.


Although the pouch comes with a detachable strap, I would not use the strap as the size looks more appropriate for a child. The strap can be adjusted between 65cm to 125cm.

There is also a keychain with a plastic heart charm.


The materials are the same as those used for the usual LeSportSac bags.


The front zip pocket can fit two lipsticks easily.


While the pouch looks tiny, it can fit quite a number of makeup products.

In it, I managed to fit a powder foundation case, a face powder case, a lipgloss pot, four lipsticks, two lipglosses, an eyegloss duo, a blush pot and an eyeshadow.

While most of the seams inside the bag are covered, the seam running across the top (where the grey straps are attached) are exposed.

There is a layer of padding between the exterior and the inner pink lining.

The pouch is the "baby" of the family with my Everygirl Tote (right) and Deluxe Everygirl Tote (left)!
