I'm totally smitten with book clutches at the moment, especially Olympia Le-Tan ones. I think they are the perfect, quirky accessory for any stylish book-lover.
I first took notice of the book clutch when I saw Natalie Portman carrying one at the New York premiere of 'Black Swan' in 2010. Since then I have spotted quite a few celebrities rocking book clutches on the red carpet. Most recently, Michelle Williams attended the 2012 BAFTA's holding a book clutch from Olympia Le-Tan ( last image above).
French designer Olympia Le-Tan's book clutches are beautifully hand embroidered and are limited to only 16 of each design. Unfortunately, at around £900 each (that's about R10 000) they are a bit too pricey for most people.
Here are two Olympia Le-Tan clutches I would love to own *le sigh*...
While Olympia Le-Tan book clutches may be the most covetable, there are quite a few other places that sell nice (and more affordable) book clutches. Recently I saw cute book clutches on the Kate Spade website and on Etsy. Alternatively, you could check out THIS awesome DIY video and learn how to make your own book clutch ( If I wasn't so DIY challenged, I would try this)
Would you want a book clutch? If so, which book would you want?
