Olympia Le-Tan - Dizzie bag


I loved the Dizzie bag from Olympia Le-Tan. It's so cute! 
It's a embroidered canvas sweet little bag. 
It costs €490.00
and can be bought at http://www.olympialetan.com/
I loved it and I want one!!!!

Olympia Le-Tan was born in London and raised in Paris. She studied Italian at the University of London then went to art school in Paris before getting an internship at the Chanel design studio with Karl Lagerfeld at the age of 19. She worked for Chanel and Balmain. At some point she started her own handmade handbag label called Olympia Le-Tan. The bags were being sold in major fashion select shops (such as Colette in Paris, Browns in London, Barneys New York, Isetan and United Arrows in Tokyo etc…) but the production was very limited as she was making everything herself.

In September 2009, she launched her first real collection: "You 
can’t judge a book by it's cover", handbags and minaudières, inspired by the first edition covers of 21 classics, . All the bags are handmade with love in France (as stated inside each bag on a schoolgirl's label). They are lined with Liberty print. Each style is numbered and limited to 16 pieces, as that is Olympia's lucky number. 
Her second collection “Boîtes de Nuit”, was presented at the gallery Maison Darré, in March 2010. 
Olympia Le-Tan’s bags are now being sold in 15 shops around the world.
