Aside from movies, books have had an influence across various artistic mediums that has spawned products that pay homage to the writer’s story, which is how these literary product adaptations came to be.
When I mean literary-inspired, I’m referring to products influenced by popular books by well-known writers and not just a piece of a poem scribbled down for the sake of novelty. Present and past authors continue to inspire several artist’s and brands to put their own twist on classic stories that have become timeless. Whether it’s an homage to the multi-dimensional characters or the storyline itself, there’s no doubt that literature has been a long-standing inspirational source.
From fragrances to fashion lines, these literary product adaptations will show you how characters and stories come to be outside the page.
