Les Misérables Book Tote Bag

Description:

A navy tote bag inspired by Victor Hugo's Les Misérables — the young Cosette in black and white over the blue, white and red of the French flag, with the title and author across the top and along the spine-style side panel. On the back, the words of the Republic: "Liberté, égalité, fraternité."

The face on this bag has been recognized around the world for over a century — but it began in the book, not on a poster. Émile Bayard drew the child Cosette, broom in hand, for the first illustrated edition of the novel in 1862; the musical adopted the same engraving as its emblem more than a hundred years later. Millions know Cosette's face from a theater marquee without knowing an illustrator gave it to Hugo's readers first.

Why you'll love it:

• Bayard's Cosette over the tricolor on navy — the novel's most recognized image, on a bag
• "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" printed on the back
• Long shoulder straps for hands-free carrying
• Lightweight at 5.29 oz — sturdy enough for books, folds flat when it's not in use

Perfect for: Hugo readers, theater-goers, library trips, or anyone who wants their everyday bag to carry a little revolution.
