INTERNATIONAL. On 29 August, American lifestyle brand LeSportsac confirmed its partnership with travel retail business development agency Blueprint. LeSportsac, part of the Japanese ITOCHU Corporation, already has a strong foothold in Asia Pacific travel retail with listings in airports, airlines and duty free stores across Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China. The partnership announcement comes as LeSportsac gears up for its 50th anniversary celebrations, and just after GQ magazine recognised the brand’s contemporary relevance.
