LeSportsac has tapped Zurich raised and London schooled designer and illustrator, Katharina Leuzinger, to design the Spring 2010 Artist in Residence Collection. Leuzinger’s blend of playful fancy and organized structure evokes an instantaneous emotional response of pure happiness that organically allows her work to tell its own stories and the prints she created for LeSportsac are no exception. House Boat features a colorful world where octopuses rule, multiple rainbows abound, and whales beckon with smiles. At the same time, Snackville tells the story of mustached houses, bunny abodes, and a place where snack time and home are given their due.

The prints are available in nine new styles created exclusively for the Artist in Residence Collection: Snack Sac, Play Case Cosmetic, House Pouch, Teeney Duffle, Mini Scout About Messenger, Girl Talk Hobo, Double Trouble Tote, Jumbo Duffle and the Rascal Rucksack. The collection hits LeSportsac.com and all LeSportsac flagship boutiques February 2010. More pics after the jump…
