When the LeSportsac brand was bought by the Accessory Network Group in late 2005 the name shot to fame and several LeSportsac chain stores were opened worldwide. After collaborating with other huge names such as Tokidoki and Stella McCartney, LeSportsac bags became incredibly popular which has prompted the manufacture of a whole host of fakes.  

While the most common fakes of this kind are Tokidoki bags, LeSportsac bags have also come under fire. Luckily, however, there are a few little tricks you can use to determine a faux from a genuine LeSportsac, such as recognizing the ‘YKK’ or ‘USA’ stamp which appears on the side of the zipper head on all the real LeSportsac bags. Also, genuine LeSportsacs always have thick, nylon lining to match the rest of the bag, whereas fakes often feature cheap plain and papery linings.

The best way to be able to spot a fake LeSportsac from a mile away is simply to get to know the real thing. Take a look at their official website and have a look at the bags in detail. What do the fonts, prints and designs look like? LeSportsac have their own individual style and feeling and a lot of effort goes into the making of their bags. Faking that is hard to do and often little mistakes like too much spacing between the letters on the tags will be a good giveaway.  

A huge percentage of the bags sold on eBay are fakes so this is the place where you will have to be most vigilant.

Ultimately, the best way to avoid buying a fake LeSportsac is to go to a specific LeSportsac store in one of 30 countries worldwide to buy one! This way you will know for sure that what you are getting in the real deal.
