Now I can carry a book in a book, seriously.<br />The bag line, aptly named "You Can't Judge a Book by its' Cover", is book/bag upon book/bag of well-loved and famous classics, many my personal favorites.<br />So far (in my knowledge anyway) only Clemence Posey and Natalie Portman have been photographed with these clutches.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3v_h68ijbZ4F_tUasjQ9b-YApWU3fX3qlhTHs91C34zbPEBILfvMofBnqqGLeRObKh73YuUixRA2sU_F8Z7-1RBX7ZMhyphenhyphenSE5bcnUPJn-m_KveArYEz78zfIdBgVoQa6CPnVQrSw6T3opC/s1600/1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3v_h68ijbZ4F_tUasjQ9b-YApWU3fX3qlhTHs91C34zbPEBILfvMofBnqqGLeRObKh73YuUixRA2sU_F8Z7-1RBX7ZMhyphenhyphenSE5bcnUPJn-m_KveArYEz78zfIdBgVoQa6CPnVQrSw6T3opC/s1600/1.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 454px; height: 340px;" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmqfya3YCBV9WZBXsVPjXvBKa62TaDk50a4GMpc8YZeDCNiDQfhWiqtkUX2iFAwvca1EYcnu-tq8iMz2TguHTld65d0t2-Rm9Z8-bJKx8xLlv89b03ITFA0BGTieqQLrIDbiRy7oGXp9Y/s1600/OlympiaLeTan_Clutch2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmqfya3YCBV9WZBXsVPjXvBKa62TaDk50a4GMpc8YZeDCNiDQfhWiqtkUX2iFAwvca1EYcnu-tq8iMz2TguHTld65d0t2-Rm9Z8-bJKx8xLlv89b03ITFA0BGTieqQLrIDbiRy7oGXp9Y/s1600/OlympiaLeTan_Clutch2.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 429px; height: 600px;" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.abebooks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nineteen-eighty-four-olympia-le-tan.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.abebooks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nineteen-eighty-four-olympia-le-tan.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 624px; height: 871px;" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.thefashionpolice.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kate-spade-book-of-the-month-clutch-bag.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.thefashionpolice.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kate-spade-book-of-the-month-clutch-bag.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 577px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://s4.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/81CA1720.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://s4.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/81CA1720.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 600px;" /></a>
