“In Cupid’s school, whoe’er would take degree, must learn his rudiments by reading me.” The Art of Love — in Latin “Ars Amatoria” — written by the Latin Poet Ovid more than 2000 years ago, is now a cultural, voluptuous book-clutch-bag. Entirely handmade with the finest leather by Italian bookbinders, it looks in every way like a sumptuous book from the past.

All of our bags are professionally crafted in a traditional Italian Bookbindery. Each By M. Book Clutch is one-of-a-kind, made and customised by Neapolitan craftsmen in the bookbindery of Palazzo Marigliano. They are created according to a century-long tradition developed in the area using only the finest leather, silks and gold-leaf embossing. Delivery takes roughly four weeks from confirmed order. The product you receive might vary slightly from the product pictures and small differences can appear.
