Yea or Nay: Tilda Swinton’s Olympia Le-Tan Clutch
bless Tilda. She always gives us something to talk about. Since we all had so much fun YEAing or NAYing her shoes the other day, why not do the same to her latest bag?

We featured Olympia Le-Tan’s book-inspired handbags before and we said back then that we weren’t entirely sure we loved seeing something so artsy-craftsy paired with an evening look. But Swinton operates on a whole ‘nother fashion sphere and somehow she’s making this look like the height of chic. It helps that it’s so tiny.

But bitchy minions have claimed we can’t be objective about Tilda (confusing us perhaps with Supreme Court Justices or editors of newspapers), so we’re turning it over to you:
