The designer's creative background encompasses working in Chanel's design studio with Karl Lagerfeld at age 19, to the assistant designer at French fashion houses Balmain and Gilles Dufour.
Since September 2009, Ms. Le-Tan has been working on her own collection of handmade purses and clutches. Each handbag or Minaudiere (a small clutch) is inspired by artwork from first edition classic books.

Her first collection, "You can’t judge a book by its cover" was numbered and limited to 16 pieces, as that is Olympia's lucky number. In following collections, Olympia has taken new inspirations from milk packaging, and cookbooks.

 Olympia Le-Tan is the kind of designer who has the ability to turn nostalgia, craft, and academia into a handbag that is sexy, cool, and original.
For her most recent collection, Le-Tan presented a short stop motion film “Mourir Auprès de Toi” (to die by your side) – produced with Spike Jonze and Simon Cahn, which tells a love story between Dracula’s Minas and Macbeth’s skeleton.
