If one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, then what about a bag? That’s a question best answered by Paris-based designer Olympia Le-Tan. Taking nostalgic, oft-literary inspirations to her designs, she crafts singular, showstopping clutches and bags du jour that have made her one of the accessory greats since the launch of her namesake label in 2009. And this season, in addition to referencing classic tales such as Moby Dick and Hansel and Gretel, Le-Tan incorporated cultural conversation starters as well, offering little purses in the shapes of old records, compasses, and caviar tins.
