LIT MAJOR
why read a book when you can wear a book?
Way back in 2009, french designer Olympia Le-Tan launched her "You can't judge a book by its cover” collection, consisting of beautifully bound classic literature converted into clutch purses.
The novel idea (pun intended) resulted in a unbelievably chic and sophisticated range, with an equally chic fan base.
Not surprisingly, the popularity of the literal book-bags have influenced a handful of designers- from Kate Spade to indie craftsmen on Etsy- to create their own lit-inspired bags.
