and children books illustrator Pierre Le-Tan,

limited edition of hand embroidered clutches.

The designs range from covers of the first editions of famous books,

such as “The catcher in the Rye” by J. D. Salinger and “Dracula” by Bram Stoker

to playful titles such as the “Boîte a letter” (“Box of letters”)

and “Boîte a baisers” (“Box of kisses”).
