You can't Judge a Book by its Cover...

Book Club
In 2009 French designer Olympia Le-Tan launched
"You can't judge a book by its cover."
A collection consisting of beautifully bound classic literature books
that have been converted into a clutch purse. 
Each clutch is handmade with liberty print lining, felt appliqué, 
silk thread for the embroideries, and a colorful canvas for the base.
Olympia Le Tan's collection is simply irresistible 
a combination of literary cover art and a practical fashion accessory. 
Her novel inspired clutch's definitely fall into
 the category of "must reads."
Despite having a literary cover they unfortunately don't contain pages
 but they do however contain just enough space to
 carry one's personal necessities. 
They offer infinite possibilities for writing one's own fashion story.
“I was thinking there were all these beautiful books around and they were being forgotten with everybody on the Internet, so I made it so that you can carry them around”
