Roberto Cavalli and LeSportsac collaborate for a four-season collection, debuting at Dubai Fashion Week.
The Italian fashion house is a guest at the event and will hold a runway show on Friday.
This partnership is part of LeSportsac’s 50th anniversary celebrations and aims to create accessories that blend design and functionality. The collaboration combines Roberto Cavalli’s bold aesthetic and signature animal prints with LeSportsac’s expertise in versatile and lightweight handbags.
“This collaboration with LeSportsac is a celebration of our shared passion for innovation and craftsmanship,”
said Sergio Azzolari, CEO of Roberto Cavalli. “By merging our distinct yet complementary styles, we are crafting a collection that is both timeless and modern, perfect for today’s discerning fashion lover. We look forward to presenting this unique fusion of Italian luxury and American style.”
Thomas Becker, COO of LeSportsac, emphasized that both brands are “iconic with rich histories, each known for their distinct and influential styles and unexpected forward-thinking innovation.”
He added that the partnership “honors our heritages by reimagining them for today’s consumer.”
The first LeSportsac x Roberto Cavalli collection is set to launch worldwide in spring 2025. This collaboration follows a series of successful partnerships that have contributed to LeSportsac’s global recognition since its founding in 1974. Previous collaborations include projects with Jonathan Adler in 2001, Diane von Furstenberg in 2002, and Stella McCartney in 2008, as well as partnerships with brands like Liberty of London, Swarovski, Olympia Le-Tan, Disney, Pixar, Nintendo, Barbie, and Hello Kitty.
Most recently, LeSportsac opened a combined creative studio, design headquarters, and flagship store in SoHo in 2022.
