Stella McCartney has done it again with another fabulous design collaboration, this time with LeSportsac. Her past work has been done with the high fashion label Chloe and also with athletic wear company Adidas.

McCartney is now designing bags for LeSportsac that will be made entirely out of "green" materials, as she always does because she is a die-hard PETA supporter and a vegetarian. All of her "green" bags will be made of non-leather goods and fabrics that are 100% biodegradable.

The adorable Bunny Backpack (pictured) is part of the new collection but if adorable animals aren't for you the collection also has plenty of practical bags as well. With each piece from the collection you can choose from a variety of fabrics to customize the bag, all from the comfort of your laptop.

I may be a woman in my twenties ... late twenties (head hanging in shame) but I really want this bag for myself. But I have a good feeling that these bags will sell fast as they have already been featured in publications like Teen Vogue.

With Fall just around the corner, it's time for the kids and the university students to get ready to go back to school. I remember when I was in middle school, buying a new backpack was always an ordeal because I desperately needed something cool and unique but didn't want to step so way out of bounds that I got teased excessively.

TokiDoki for LeSportsac: I had a TokiDoki bag for a while, until I realized that it was too cute for me. The loud, bright, cartoony patterns didn't fit in with the rest of my surly wardrobe, so I had to chuck it. However, I understand that the Kidrobot/designer toys look is still very popular these days and this TokiDoki stuff is still in high demand. The line offers some backpacks, which are naturally suitable for back-to-school time, but the messenger bags may also work. These bags are a little more expensive than the normal high-schoolers' gear, costing about six times that amount, but it's another symbol of status, isn't it? If you -- or your kid -- are into that sort of thing, go for TokiDoki.

With their signature lightweight, luxury non-leather handbags, LeSportsac seems the obvious choice for a collaboration with PETA-friendly designer Stella McCartney. And in Spring 2008, consumers will be able to purchase just such a compilation, as McCartney and LeSportsac recently announced plans to produce an entire line of handbags, luggage, and baby accessories.

LeSportsac is well-known and loved for their fun and whimsical tote bags, and McCartney has made a name for herself by combining high-end fashion with globally conscious materials and production standards. Famous for her rigid anti-animal products stance, McCartney's design empire boasts a luxurious range of women's ready-to-wear garments, accessories, eyewear, fragrances, and a collaboration with more moderately priced H&M retailers.

The Stella McCartney for LeSportsac collection will be available for purchase at all LeSportsac stores, high-end department and specialty stores nationwide, the Stella McCartney boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, and London, and (of course) online. Bags will average in price from $200 to $250.
