Iconic Book Clutches

This Cool Clutch Turns a George Orwell Masterpiece into a Fashion Accessory

Online retailer Dolls Kill has just released a line of book clutches paying homage to a legendary piece of literature. Inspired by a George Orwell classic, this clutch resembles the look of Orwell's iconic novel '1984.'

Since Olympia Le Tan created her collection of novel clutches, designers all over have been following suit. With an array of DIY versions and now this Dolls Kill exclusive, this accessory is definitely a fan favorite. The '1984' book clutch features a book-shaped 1984 cover and a secure clip closure. For wearers that would rather hang the clutch off their wrist, a removable hand chain is also included for versatile wear.

While most book clutches mirror more delightful stories, the 1984 clutch was designed to help fight the system in style.
