I love hideaway books--secret keepers of my choicest treasures. While the 'treasures' in my first book may have mostly consisted of chalky calcium pills and Polly Pocket characters, the concept is the same and my fixation remains. So, naturally, I was entranced when I first spotted Olympia Le-Tan's book clutches. Beautiful renderings of the Classics embroidered on canvas with brass finishings--perfection. Sadly, I don't have the budget to spend 2k on a purse (which, might I add, is a CRIME).
That's where my hero, Kate, comes in.
Ta Dah! Kate Spade saves the day...again!
Her book clutches retail for $325, but I was able to snag mine for only $99 at a flash sale. Huzzah! The colorful covers printed on canvas are super cute.
The only thing I thought of as a negative is that they're covered in plastic like grandma's couch, but then I realized--it's probably for the best. I'm kind of a huge klutz (my family actually used to take bets on when I'd spill and what it would be..oops!).
Gotta love the melding of form and function--Grandma always did know best!
Also, I love Love LOVE Dickens, so I plan on picking up "A Tale of Two Cities next." :)
