Olympia Le-Tan unveils a collection inspired by artist Tom Wesselmann

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

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

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

“We are extremely pleased to be working with Tom Wesselmann’s Estate on this unique collection,” said Gregory Bernard, co-founder of Olympia Le-Tan.

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

Wesselmann, a leading figure in the American Pop Art scene of the 1960s, continues to exert considerable influence on contemporary culture. His work, characterized by the integration of everyday objects and commercial elements into dynamic representations of classical themes (nudes, still lifes, and landscapes), embodies the simple joys of everyday life.

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