Lesportsac has a knack for singling out under-the-radar, independent names through its collaborations. Its latest showcases the work of American stationery maker Rifle Paper Co. Here’s what you should know about it.
Based in Florida, the six-year-old brand was started by husband-and-wife duo Nathan and Anna Bond (above) out of their apartment, but has since grown into a 120-strong team. Its signature: paper products (think greeting cards, calendars, and notepads) with whimsical yet stylish illustrations – think Moonrise Kingdom – that have an old-world feel, all created in-house.
All its products are made in the US and put together by hand. Companies that have commissioned illustrations include The Wall Street Journal, Penguin Books, and cable television channel AMC for Mad Men. For the Lesportsac tie-up, it created three happy-hued, travel-inspired prints that appear on totes, backpacks, duffels and cosmetic pouches ($55-$320).
An adapted version first appeared in Female‘s June issue, out on newsstands now.
