Gone are the days of summer reading lists and totally unnecessary assignments that, frankly, were best saved for the last week of August. (Just kidding. Do your homework, kids!) Here, though, are several good reasons to get excited about it. The new Kate Spade Book of the Month Clutch is a bit of a novelty item, but it’s also a cute homage to some of the world’s most beloved classics (all of which are worth reading and owning, by the way).

Choose from three beloved novels: Great Expectations, The Importance of Being Earnest and The Great Gatsby. Each little “book” is lined with jazzy striped lining and made of laminated silk twill.

These clutches are vibrant enough to stand on their own as statement pieces, and are perfect to pair with something relatively basic but chic – think skinny jeans and a draped top, or a sleek sheath and killer heels. They’re available to pre-order for $325 each, and will ship on August 20. Available at Kate Spade.
