Luxury clutch brand Olympia Le-Tan has unveiled its latest collection inspired by the pop art artist Tom Wesselmann.

This exclusive collection features a series of three drops, with the first two drops of the collection released in April and July of 2024. The third and final release will coincide with the Tom Wesselmann retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, opening on October 16.

The collection includes 14 clutches, including the brand’s iconic Book Clutches and other unique designs such as the Caviar and the 7inch. These pieces are a tribute to Wesselmann's vibrant pop art style, blended with Olympia Le-Tan’s craftsmanship and design.

"We are incredibly excited to work with Tom Wesselmann’s Estate on this unique collection," said Gregory Bernard, co-founder of Olympia Le-Tan. 

"Each clutch is a labor of love, reflecting the bold, colorful essence of Wesselmann's work. We can't wait for our customers and Wesselmann enthusiasts to experience this collection.”

Wesselmann, a prominent figure in the American Pop Art scene of the 1960s, remains a significant influence in contemporary culture. His work, characterized by the integration of everyday objects and commercial elements into dynamic depictions of classical themes—nudes, still lifes, and landscapes—embodies the simple joys of daily life.

The collection will be available on the Olympia Le-Tan website and through international retailers such as Moda Operandi, Zalando, Capitol, Selfridges, Bliss Multibrand, and Manhattan South. Prices range from €1,350 to €1,980.
