Mary Shelley · Frankenstein · Appliqué Edition · Handbag + Matching Wallet
The creature's face, raised in layered leather and stitched to the bag. Not printed.
His head and shoulders are cut from leather and hand-stitched proud of the parchment boards, so the edge you see round the torn collar is an edge you can feel.

Appliqué handbag + matching wallet · one price
Ends Sunday · …The creature on the bag in stitched leather. The creature on the wallet in print.
The wallet has him in profile, green lightning and laboratory flasks beside him and his own words written across the page — printed into the small binding, so what comes out at the counter is the same creature as the bag on your arm. Sold apart at $49.95. In the set it is free.
Why the pair, not the bag alone
- The wallet carries the same creature. In profile, with his own words beside him — printed, sized to ride inside the handbag.
- It goes out alone. Zip-around, wrist strap on, phone and cards in — the piece you take when the bag stays home.
- It is $49.95 on its own. In the set it is free: the handbag and the wallet together for $119.95 instead of $249.90.

The Modern Prometheus appliqué handbag
The creature's head and shoulders in layered leather, stitch-scarred brow and all, rising from a torn edge — stitched to parchment boards of handwritten notes, an anatomical heart, a skull and laboratory flasks, with green lightning across them.
Why it earns its place- The figure is appliqué: cut from leather, layered, hand-stitched, standing proud of the board — run a thumb along his jaw and you feel the edge.
- Reads as a handbag first: a structured top-handle bag with a zip across the top; the notebook page is the front panel.
- Fits a 13″ iPad, the book you are on, and the wallet — it rides inside.
- Premium vegan leather: animal-free, lighter on the arm, wipes clean with a damp cloth.

Mary Shelley · Frankenstein, 1818 · the front panel
The notebook is printed. The creature is stitched on top of it.
A student's notebook, a heart drawn to scale, lightning over the mountains — and the thing he made, turning to ask its maker why. For everyone who read Frankenstein and sided with the creature.
Over the pages rises his face — cut from leather, layered and hand-stitched to the board, with the torn edge of the collar standing off the parchment. The lightning stays flat and green so the face can come forward.
“I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.”
— Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley, 1818
I made this one for the readers who finished the book angry at the wrong Frankenstein.
“He asked for one companion. Take him everywhere.”Jane Grey, Founder of Lettoria
