A classic story, carried differently

Bring your love of literature beyond the bookshelf with The Count of Monte Cristo leather book clutch by Bags By M.

Inspired by the first French edition of Alexandre Dumas’s celebrated tale of intrigue, resilience and reinvention, this book-shaped accessory turns a literary favourite into a distinctive part of your wardrobe.

Make it yours: Ex Libris personalisation

As with our other book clutches, you can choose to add a personalised Ex Libris with your name or initials. Inspired by the bookplates that mark a cherished book as your own, this optional detail makes your clutch unmistakably yours, or creates a thoughtful personal gift for a fellow book lover.

Sixty hours of craftsmanship

Handcrafted in the historic bookbindery of Palazzo Marigliano in Naples, Italy, each clutch requires approximately 60 hours of work. The gold embossing is also made by hand, bringing the cover’s literary detail to life.

Every piece is a one-off. Small differences in the embossing and finish are part of its handmade character, so your clutch may vary slightly from the piece pictured.

Book-shaped, evening-ready

Carry it to dinner, a gallery opening or an evening with friends. Its 9 cm bellows opening provides room for your iPhone and the essentials you need for a night out: keys, cards, lipstick, compact makeup and cash.

  • Dimensions: 15 × 20 × 4 cm
  • Opening: 9 cm.
  • Closure: hidden magnetic closure
  • Material: leather and silk with handmade gold embossing.
  • Craftsmanship: approximately 60 hours of work for each one-of-a-kind piece.
  • Made in: the bookbindery of Palazzo Marigliano, Naples, Italy.

Made for you, worth the wait

Please allow roughly three weeks for delivery. This is an approximate timeframe, reflecting the care and handwork devoted to each individual clutch.
