Judy Yu Hong Shares Unique Designs with Fashionable Celebrities

LeSportsac, a leading manufacturer of functional and iconic nylon handbags has partnered with Stella McCartney to design a series of limited edition lifestyle collections. Carsac Limited, the Hong Kong distributor of LeSportsac has specially hosted a tea gathering yeseterday (April 1, 2008) to officially launch the Collection. Invited by Ms. Judy Yu Hong, Managing Director of Carsac Limited, celebrities and socialites including Qiqi, Janet Ma, Crystal Kwok, Winifred Lai, Johanna Ho, Michelle Loo, Derek & Liana Yeung and Jaime Ho joined the occasion to share together the brilliant designs.

Combining everyday functionality with a strong fashion sensibility, the first limited collection for Spring/Summer 2008 was presented by a troupe of adorable kid models dressed in the latest outfits of Gingerbread in a cute trunk show, outstanding not only the exceptional range of practicality, but also the originality and dynamism of the Collection. Stella McCartney’s design for this Collection is multi-functional and detail oriented. Dedicated compartments to place cosmetics, notepads, or baby nappies, insulating compartments for water or baby bottles, and a snap out mesh cosmetics pouch in every bag regardless of size, enable usage across all aspects of life, whether work, travel or shopping; developed for the busy, modern women of today.

True to its environmentally friendliness beliefs, all fabrics of the collection are generated from 100% recycled materials, strong and durable, but feminine in execution. The hangtag is made from 100% recycled paper and comes in 100% recycled plastic sleeve, and the dust cover is 100% biodegradable.

Each silhouette comes in a vibrant color palette and is complimented with wet seal zips giving a modern yet sporty feel on travel styles, strongly contrasted with bright floral print linings and solid color blocking. Mesh pocket details further enhance functionality. Handbags and luggage evolve from softer, more sophisticated Stella McCartney tones of dirty pinks, deep plums and silver greys with contrast stitch details and tactile, metallic hardware and metallic mesh details. Inspired by the family life with her 3 children, Stella McCartney has specially designed the Bunny Rucksack and Kid’s Case that gives a sense of loving and intimacy to the Collection.

A natural partnership for two companies renowned for developing alternatives to the world of leather accessories, the collections combine Stella McCartney’s modern sense of innovation in the creation of desirable fashion, with LeSportsac’s iconic heritage in nylon accessories.
