PHOTOS: The Smartest Handbags You’ll Ever See
The other day, when we saw Natalie Portman carrying what looked like a copy of Lolita into the premiere of Black Swan, we thought it was because she went to Harvard and was trying to make a statement or something.
Bookish celebs like Portman and Clemence Poesy have been turning to French handbag designer Olympia Le-Tan for a place to put their BlackBerries and whatever else a young star might need to carry on the red carpet. Le-Tan has been putting a new spin on the term “book bag” for three seasons now, and has everything from Bram Stoker‘s Dracula to Tennessee William‘s A Streetcar Named Desire in her library of purses. For her part, Poesy carried a purse-ified copy of La Belle et la Bete to the premiere of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part One.
We can’t get enough of these bags — and we’re interested to see what other titles will join Le-Tan’s collection. Can you imagine how pretty The Color Purple would be for fall? Or how incendiary Chris Cleave‘s Incendiary would look this summer? Take a look at a few of the photos below, and then tell us which book you’d like to see made into a Le-Tan bag.
