Cute Library Item of the Day

Antique Book Bag photo by Innocent World, and borrowed from lolibrary.org


Can I tell you how much I wish I had this bag? Both times it was released by Innocent World I was not able to financially justify the splurge. The dimensions are just big enough to fit a small wallet, cell phone, keys and a small paperback (or the nook Simple Touch), and it can be worn as a pochette, or the strap can be removed to use as a hand bag. What really makes "brand" items stand out is the fact that they're laden with fine details, like this bag's nice gold print, tooled-leather look front, heart shaped zipper pull, and its side that evokes the look of a traditional sewn leather book spine. You can see more of the gorgeous details at lolibrary.org here.

There are alternatives to this bag, if one must own a book-shaped purse. There are a number of bags actually made out of books over on Etsy. Lolita brand Alice and the Pirates also has their own take on the book bag. The brand originally came out with a bag that looked very similar to Innocent World's Antique Book bag, but it has since sold out and they've released this alternative.
