What to know | Her lip to and LeSportsac Debut Three Bags in Black and Misty Pink

Haruna Kojima’s lifestyle brand Her lip to collaborates with LeSportsac for the first time to launch three products: mini bag, reversible tote and multi-purpose storage bag, presented in black and specially prepared misty pink. In Japan, it is scheduled to be sold in batches in stores starting from October 29th, and will enter the Her lip to official online store on the 31st; the dates for different stores need to be confirmed separately.

Mini Boston bag, add a chain strap to change the carrying method

The mini bag is priced at 26,400 yen in Japan. It is made of ripstop fabric and quilting. It can be used as a mini Boston bag or can be worn as a shoulder bag with the attached chain strap. When the same bag is carried by hand or carried on the shoulder, the position on the body will be different, which will also change the proportion between it and the clothes.

When choosing, you can first list your mobile phone, card holder and personal belongings, and then check the internal dimensions and openings. The mini silhouette brings a sense of lightness, but you can’t just estimate what items can be packed in from the product photos; whether the chain strap is suitable for the thickness of the jacket and your customary carrying method is also worthy of actual confirmation.

Reversible tote, allowing the cherry and quilting to appear alternately

2way tote Japan price 22,000 yen, with reversible structure providing quilting and Her lip to’s representative cherry pattern. The two sides switch not only the color, but also the surface texture and pattern density, so that the same bag can correspond to different clothing backgrounds.

If the garment already has many patterns, you can compare the embossed side first; if the garment is plain, the cherry image provides another visual emphasis. Being reversible does not mean that the two sides are exactly the same in terms of storage and pocket use. You should still look at the actual structure and product description.

Multi-purpose storage bag, focusing on thickness and double zippers

The storage bag is priced at 7,700 yen in Japan. It has wide sides and double zippers, which is different from thin flat bags. It can be assigned uses according to the type of items, but whether it is suitable for cosmetics, stationery or travel accessories still depends on the internal configuration, size and cleaning method. It cannot be inferred that it is suitable for all situations just from the multi-purpose name.

If you already have a large bag that you often use, you can also check whether you really need a separate storage unit before deciding whether to use it with a tote or mini bag. The three items can be built independently, so there is no need to regard the same series as a set that must be purchased at once.

October 29, 30, and 31, three sales rhythms

It will be sold at the House of Herme and Osaka stores starting from October 29th, and will be sold at the JR Nagoya Takashimaya store and LUMINE Shinjuku LUMINE 2 store from the 30th. It will be sold at the brand’s official online store from the 31st. The admission methods, purchase restrictions and inventory of each store should be announced according to the day. Just because the date is close does not mean that all arrangements are the same.

This collaboration combines the fabric and storage form of LeSportsac with the cherry pattern, quilting and pastel tones of Her lip to. For readers, you can first decide whether to carry it by hand, carry it on the shoulder, carry it daily, or organize it in a bag, and then choose from two colors, so that the visual and use division of the bag can be considered together.
