You know it's always awkward trying to stuff that book in your back pocket or your own too-small book bag.
No worries, Olympia Le-Tan has a quick and witty solution - turn the book itself into a clutch:

(PSST word is fashion-friendly Chloe Sevigny ordered this "Moby Dick" one)


Le-Tan has embroidered the first edition covers of classic titles into a clutch using silk thread.
Gorgeous, ornate, and unique...
The only prob? They're cost almost as much as those coveted first editions (approximately $1,500 each).
