Clutch Bags
Clutch bags are not relegated anymore to an evening occasion. We might thank "Sex and the City" where we've seen the "girls" strutting around NY with clutches and oversized ones. And who doesn't remember when Carrie fell in Dior and the content of her vintage clutch was scattered around the Parisian shop? Personally I always keep a clutch in my huge bag in case I have to pop outside the office for lunch or other small rounds that don't involve taking the whole house with me. I've picked some clutches in different styles.
This Girls Hardbox Street Style clutch is branded V by Very the premium line from Very.co.uk. This bag has got a chain shoulder strap and the style makes it for a bag where you can keep all your essentials like a mobile, a lipstick, home keys and money without being squashed or with a bulging bag difficult to snap closed. www.very.co.uk
The Oiana bag by Coast is a timeless model with its front bow. Its shape makes it for a clutch where items a bit thicker than a credit card can be stored. It has a detachable strap and a magnetic clasp. Perfect for all those occasions where you need something smart either a wedding or a party or a business lunch. www.coast-stores.com
East has got a nice range of jute bags. These Jute clutches match the tote bags they have got in store and they are perfect on their own when going out in the evening or inside a bigger bag where you can keep essentials like money, home keys and mobile so when popping out for lunch you just have to carry this clutch. Made of jute they' ve got leather trims and handle. www.east.co.uk
Jigsaw has got a rainbow coloured range of clutches. The Alma medium leather clutch comes in eight colours and here you can see a small selection. This clutches are investment pieces given their "never out of fashion" style. www.jigsaw-online.com
I love this framed clutch by Next. Its black and berry colour will take you through the summer and into the cold season. Its shape gives room to mobile, a lipstick tube and home keys keeping them safe with its metal clasp. A chain shoulder strap can be attached. It is great for the evening or for going out all day. You can store things like sunglasses, tablet and shoes in a big tote and take this beautiful clutch at work . www.next.co.uk
This Samara suede envelope clutch is by Phase Eight. Its silver colour goes perfectly with the metallic trend that is going to be with us even next season. A thin leather shoulder strap can be attached in order to have your hands free. www.phase-eight.com
Vintage look for these No. 1 Jenny Packham satin clutches for Debenhams. They are the perfect accessories for a wedding or other formal occasion, but as Patricia Field has taught us while styling "Sex and the City", you can wear this beautiful clutch with denim or while shopping. After all there is space for the right essentials, credit card and mobile. www.debenhams.com
Department stores have got a great range of accessories. This Therapy Kelis clutch bag can be found at House of Fraser. I like the design with the metal clasp fastening and the stripes and stars motif. The back is plain black and the metallic silver star adds to all the current trends. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
