For a long time, when I thought of clutches I thought of the bland little purses that I used to carry my disposable camera and lipstick to prom. I had a silver one that I used for most of high school that I think my mom still has somewhere. I also remember shawls being a thing, even though nobody ever used them.
Clutches have been in and out of fashion for well over a hundred years. They've always been plain or fancy and made of almost any
material you could imagine. While bags have always tended to be somewhat more plain, clutches have let us embrace
all that is beautiful and/or gaudy.
This is a small collection of some clutches that I love. Thankfully, most of them come with chain straps so you can carry them on your shoulder after a long night after the bar. After tossing back a few, your abilities to hang on to anything become suspect.
unfortunately, the clutches above are well out of my price range. Stores like Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal, Forever 21, etc., all carry adorable clutches for around $20. If you can't find one you like, buy a plain one and decorate it to your heart's content. Don't be afraid to bedazzle/paint/feather/deck it out to whatever you want. There's no wrong way when it comes to clutches.
