Ex Libris clutches are shaped like books and are guaranteed conversation starters.

Made of soft Italian lambskin featuring detailed embroidery, the inside "pages", lining and pockets are covered in luxe satin and feature a 3"x5" oval mirror for touch-ups. Plus, each clutch comes with its own black satin coin purse and signature lipstick!

Each handbag measures 10"L x 2"H x 7-1/2"W. Handcrafted in NYC. Limited edition.

What a great idea. I love books AND purses, so I guess it was only a matter of time until a genius paired them, turning them into a unique, useful, and hopefully quite stylish accessory. I can NOT wait to buy one. It's great that Christmas is coming sort-of soon, because this is first on my list. (via wishingfish.com)

This is a clever little accessory.
