LeSportsac is excited to continue our collaboration with Shannon Maldonado, designer and founder of YOWIE, Philadelphia’s coolest, pioneering boutique hotel and lifestyle brand. For this second collection Shannon drew inspiration from her daily commutes. As an avid public transit user, she understands the importance of a versatile bag that can adapt to any journey. The Fall drop includes the lavender Cargo Belt Bag with a pop of leopard trim, the bold floral print Easy Zip Tote, and the spacious navy/black Cargo Medium Duffel. These lightweight bags are perfect for quick trips or extended adventures!

“It’s a dream to work with LeSportsac,” says Maldonado, who recalls buying her favorite LeSportsac Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B handbag while in college. “For this collection, I drew inspiration from the iconic silhouettes of the 90s, but reinterpreted them with LeSportsac's clean lines and everyday functionality in mind.” “LeSportsac evokes a sense of nostalgia for my childhood like no other brand. We want this generation to feel that same heartfelt connection with the YOWIE collection!”

YOWIE is a lifestyle brand and boutique hotel located on historic South Street in Philadelphia. Founded in 2016 by Creative Director Shannon Maldonado, YOWIE has blossomed from a unique product selection into a powerful brand known for fostering community from near and far.
