{"product_id":"little-women-sage-green-book-clutch","title":"\"Little Women\" Sage Green Book Clutch","description":"\u003cp\u003enspired by an original 1896 illustrated edition of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, this book clutch brings the charm of a beloved nineteenth-century volume into a wearable literary collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is adapted from the historic Little, Brown \u0026amp; Company edition published in Boston in 1896, which featured more than 200 illustrations by celebrated American illustrator Frank T. Merrill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a soft sage-green ground, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy appear together within a delicate climbing border of roses and leafy branches. The central image is derived from Merrill's original vignette of the March sisters helping to dress Meg as a bride, an illustration that also appeared as part of the decorative cover of the 1896 edition. Contemporary descriptions of surviving copies record the same rose-trellis framing and multicolored stamped illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe simple linework and restrained palette preserve the character of nineteenth-century book illustration rather than replacing it with a modern interpretation. Warm coral roses punctuate the pale green field, while dark botanical lines create the graceful floral framework surrounding the sisters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title retains the historic wording “Little Women — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy,” recalling the novel's original expanded title, Little Women; or, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is deliberately quieter, continuing the climbing rose border around an open sage field with a small central bouquet. It recalls the decorative back board of an antique clothbound volume and allows the historic floral design itself to become the ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply creating a modern accessory with a Victorian appearance, this clutch takes its inspiration from an identifiable nineteenth-century edition of the novel and its period artwork, preserving a tangible connection to the publishing history of Little Women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGentle, nostalgic, and unmistakably literary, it is a celebration of sisterhood, nineteenth-century illustration, and one of America's most beloved novels—a historic book transformed into a fashion collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JetPrint Fulfillment","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":44258333982807,"sku":"ubicuk24_001","price":15300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2706\/5204\/files\/bcip-little-women-sage-green-book-clutch-front-1920.png?v=1789095114","url":"https:\/\/nicolettacarlone.com\/en-jp\/products\/little-women-sage-green-book-clutch","provider":"Nicoletta Carlone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
