That's it, we've fallen in love. Be-gone oversized totes and statement designer handbags, our hearts are set on these perfect, petite Olympia Le Tan clutches, hand embroidered in silk and wool felt appliqué to replicate classic book covers.
A self confessed book worm, Olympia has taken inspiration for each from her very own prized vintage book collection, featuring classics like Virginia Wolf's Mrs Dalloway, Gertrude Stein's Three Lives and Kafka's Metamorphosis.
The embroidery for each bag takes at least three days to complete in the designer's Paris studio, so although the bags may be an investment piece you can be sure you are buying into true craftsmanship.
Charmingly whimsical, with a whiff of an intellectual statement, these are sure to become a cult product.
Olympia Le Tan clutches, from £795, available from the CoutureLab.com
