We're thrilled to showcase our first limited-edition design collaboration with Parisian maison Olympia Le-Tan, with the unveiling of the La Vita Forte Book Clutch.
In a fitting partnership that brings together exceptional skincare craftsmanship and the maison’s celebrated artistry in fashion, this joyful accessory is a celebration of beauty and creativity. Launching on the 3rd of November, the sunny, limited-edition clutch is destined to become a coveted piece in your collection.
Sicilian Skincare Meets French Fashion
This partnership forms part of Irene Forte Skincare’s ongoing series honoring creators and artisans the brand works with or admires – makers who inspire through their commitment to beauty, intention, and detail.
The Olympia Le-Tan brand is renowned for its distinctive blend of art, culture, and craftsmanship, creating iconic clutch designs in the shape of books. Produced in limited, numbered editions, each piece from the Parisian fashion house is as luxurious as it is memorable.
“It was such a treat to partner with an iconic house like Olympia Le-Tan on this collaboration,” says Irene. “Our ‘scientific craftsmanship’ in skincare sits beautifully beside Olympia Le-Tan’s hand-worked clutches.”
A Refreshing Design
Inspired by Italy’s unmistakable sorbetto, the chic book clutch was designed to house the ultimate handbag essential for soft, nourished lips – Irene Forte Skincare’s new Bio-Peptide Lip Treatment, which was inspired by the same tart frozen dessert. Each swipe will transport you to the sun-drenched shores of Sicily with just a twist of zesty lemon and refreshing mint. At the treatment’s core is a clinically backed blend of bio-active and botanical ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid and Olive Triglycerides, for instant relief, hydration and long-term care.
True to Olympia Le-Tan’s aesthetic, the clutch features signature hand embroidery, appliqué, and a structured silhouette. “The result is playful, tactile, and timeless, true to both our maisons,” says Olympia Le-Tan Managing Director Aude Sergent.
Crafted with natural materials of cotton, wool and silk, and handmade and hand-sewn by Olympia Le-Tan artisans in Portugal, each piece is unique. The limited-edition clutch is exclusively available at ireneforteskincare.com, modaoperandi.com, and olympialetan.com.
