After Stella for H&M, Stella for Adidas, Stella for Bendon and more recently, Stella for Barney's, is there anyone Stella McCartney isn't designing for? Last week, the British designer debuted her exclusive limited-edition 17-piece collection for LeSportsac, which includes camera and computer cases, hobos as well as luggages.
As expected from the socially and environmentally-responsible designer, the entire line is eco-friendly, meaning all fabrics, hangtags and packaging are created from 100% recycled materials.
"Stella designed this with her lifestyle in mind, so these are really the items that she and her friends would carry when they travel," said a spokeswoman for the brand.
As for the colors, expect purple, antique pink, blue, orange and purple. Some of these shades are available in quilted and colorblock versions as well with prices ranging from $98-$475. The collection is set to hit stores in January 2008 in high-end department and specialty stores, including Stella McCartney boutiques and LeSportsac units, plus online.
