“I wanted to design the cover of an imaginary novel called ‘Rouge In Love’. My idea was to create a ‘mise-en-abyme’, a book within a book. It is held by two hands with painted nails and surrounded by little red and violet lips that seem to dance around.” – Olympia Le-Tan.
The perfect marriage, both Olympia Le-Tan and Lancôme represent femininity at its best by blending the past with the present. Reflecting the retro era of the forties and fifities of glamour and pin-up, Olympia Le-Tan combines her passion for embroidery and literature with reinterpreted stylish clutches based on her favourite book covers.
Paying homage to Valentine’s Day as well, the exclusive Minaudère includes Olympia Le-Tan’s Lancôme favourite shades of Rouge Valentine and Rouge In Love paired with matching Rouge In Love nail polish.
Made by hand with 18 hours of love and labour, the Minaudère is embroidered and painted to create the unqiue imaginary Rouge In Love novel. Stylish and whimsical, the clutch is desirable in every form, both inside in out with sparkling bottles of Miss Coquelicot and lip-smackingly beautiful shades of soft Rose Boudoir.
