Check out this gorgeous little film by Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Where the Wild Things Are, and that pre-flashmob Fatboy Slim video clip) and handbag designer Olympia Le-Tan.Among Le-Tan’s handbag designs are a series of felt book-clutches based on the famous covers of literary classics.
The story goes that Le-Tan met Jonze in Paris, and he asked for a Catcher in the Rye embroidery. In return, Le-Tan asked for a film.
The result is lots of literary references to relish, and Parisian literary site-seeing, and some very charming stop animation to inspire. Unfortunately I cannot embed into my blog, so visit the above link to the film on Vimeo.
Bonus feature, here is a Making Of:
