LeSportsac: It’s a Small World Bag Review

Nina Penalosa

I’ve been holding out on some exciting news from you guys, but I’m ready to share it!

A couple of weeks ago the fine folks of LeSportsac contacted me and asked me if I could write a review AND host a giveaway on my blog for their spring line of It’s a Small World bags! When I first found out about this collaboration last year I flipped out because I’ve been a longtime fan of both Disney and LeSportsac (the very first expensive bag I bought myself was from their collaboration with Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. line and my LeSportsac collection snow balled from there!), plus It’s a Small World has always been one of my favorite attractions at Disneyland since I was a little girl. So when I was approached by them to review a couple of bags for this particular line I did a little happy dance around my room! 😀

I’ll be giving more details about the giveaway tomorrow (and one of them will be filled with a bunch of special goodies in honor of my upcoming 2 year blogaversary!), but for now here’s my review of a couple of their super cute bags!

The Classic Hobo is not too big and not too small — it’s just right. <– that was so Goldilocks of me. Anyhow, I was able to stick my wallet, make-up bag, planner, a pack of gum, hand sanitizer, and a Cliff Bar, and there was still a bit of room to spare for a few other little things. This is the perfect kind of bag to take on the go — whether you’re hanging out with some friends, going to a concert, running errands, or heading to work. And I love the fact that you can adjust the strap, so you can wear it as a crossbody bag or over the shoulder.

The print of the bag is called “Share Your Dreams” and it features a bunch of little embroidered iconic landmarks from different nations and a charm that has the face from the tower of the attraction. I’m a HUGE fan of Mary Blair, the artist who designed It’s a Small World, and I think that LeSportsac did a lovely job at paying homage to her incredibly adorable iconic designs. It also came with a little pouch that can double as a little makeup bag (but I forgot to take a picture of it. D’oh)!

The other bag I really liked was the Carryall Tote. And true to its name, it really can carry all!

I was able to fit all the items I listed above in the Classic Hobo, along with my bulky Canon SX50 and iPad, and there was definitely room for even more! This tote is ideal for the kind of girl that likes to carry tons of things with her. It can also fit my 13 inch laptop, a water bottle, etc. I think this is the kind of bag I’d take along with me for travel purposes or if I find myself leaving the house to work on my blog elsewhere, that way I can take my camera and laptop with me. It’s also PERFECT for a trip to Disneyland! It’ll hold all the bare necesseties (I’m sorry, that was cheesy) and you can even fit snackies and little souvenirs in case you go shopping in between going on rides and eating Pineapple Dole Whips.

Stay tuned to find out how you can win your very own It’s a Small World purse on tomorrow’s post!

Cheers,
Nina

  3. I love your outfits and flower ring! I’m also a fan of gwen stefani’s designs – I collected her Harajuku Lovers bags too! I just stumbled upon your blog and I couldn’t help but smile at how we share a lot of common interests – star wars, disney, lesportsac, marvel super heroes… AND A CUTE WHITE PUPPY TOO!!!!

      1. I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME ONE!! (excited!) i just got mine, i purchased it pre-owned from ebay 🙂 although i use it to carry my kindle and a small camera in my purse.
        I can’t wait to go to Vault 28 when we visit Disneyland! I hope I don’t break the bank that much cause I heard that they have so many cute things there 🙂

      2. Isn’t it the best?! I used it as a clutch one time and sometimes use it as a pouch to put all my essentials in and then stick it in whatever bag I’m using so it makes purse switching easier! Vault 28 is DANGEROUS! Actually, any store on the Disneyland Resort is dangerous to anyone’s bank account because they have the best and most expensive merchandise!

      3. I agree with you there, the iPad case has so many uses! And the little girl charm, I JUST LOVE HER! If you don’t mind my asking, have you been a follower of the LeSportsac it’s a small world collection? I started so late and I feel so sad about missing the previous prints!!! </3

      4. I missed out on the first two seasons because I had no monies, but damn did I do some hardcore drooling!! 😦 My mom bought me the Well Wishes tote as a belated Christmas present and I had to have the Fancy That iPad case because I was obsessed with the charm it came with!

      5. Exactly the same here 😦 HUG! Even now, I still have no “resources” so it totally broke my heart when I learned about the previous collections!! I really lucked out on that bargain-of-an-iPad case on eBay so I at least have the little posey charm to look at (i heard lesportsac gave the little girls names and i just had to look it up!) I like your style and how you carry your things! They’re always so whimsical without being childish! ❤
