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.
Check out our favorite picks below and let us know if you can find a Lolita one anywhere!

Pretty damn genius if you ask me. I've always felt sexier carrying a gorgeous book ;)

Extra points if the purse is of your favorite book so that it can be a conversation starter as well!
