With the Charlotte Olympia purse that is shaped like a tire, you can mix your fashionable instincts with your love of cars.

This clutch proves that whoever said a fashionista can't enjoy cars was completely wrong. This chic handbag is called 'tyre' and it's from the designer's 'Faster' collection inspired by vintage sports cars. The black suede purse resembles a mini version of a tire and it features Charlotte Olympia's name in pretty cursive writing and her spider web logo in the center.

Although it looks like a tire, this Charlotte Olympia purse is perfect for a variety of events, from galas to date night since it's the perfect size for fitting your must-haves for an evening like your phone and ID.
