Remember when you were little, there was that one book you always wanted read to you? Mine was The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Imagine my joy when I found a clutch version!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar pouch by Out of Print is a $12 piece of joy. It's an instant conversation starter - someone has a childhood memory that they want to share. When I carry this I feel playful and interesting and I always have someone to talk to.
This is my favorite clutch for a low-key night out with friends. We have this great bar down the street that we love to walk to for an easy and fun evening - if you have a place like that, this pouch is perfect for you. It's big enough to carry my giant set of keys, glasses (in a case), phone and lipstick. I don't have to think about what I need to leave at home. I can wear it with a t-shirt and jeans or a swanky tank and heels and feel perfectly put together either way. Also, can you just look at the red stitching and zipper? Perfect details!
Out Of Print has a ton of great products. You can get the pouch in a rad Alice in Wonderland version, or a Pride and Prejudice in on-trend pastel blue (both $12). If you're looking for a tote, you can't go wrong with Babar's Yoga for Elephants ($18). They also have gorgeous jewelry (my favorite is this Down the Rabbit Hole Necklace - $32), smart clothing (Le Petit Prince shirt for $28) and plenty more.
If being fabulously unique and stylish isn't enough, Out of Print has a serious mission. For every product you purchase, they donate a book to a community in need through their partner Books for Africa. So go ahead, splurge.
