I must be missing something because as much as I love novelty clutches I do not understand why this one is so expensive. It is made of fabric with felt applique, so cost of materials = $20. It is incredibly cute and I would love to pretend I’m well read (no time) and have a beautifully library of old books (and when I do have time, I have a Kindle) but at $1400 I would rather buy just about every other clutch in that price range than this one. She has a huge following and each clutch is a collector’s item. They are “handmade with love in France” and the limited issue of each are the reasons for the price but apparently, I just don’t have the love of books Olympia Le-Tan and her fans do. She could do it in leather, no? Some old books are leather bound and quite beautiful. At Browns Fashion.
