Remember just a few years ago when you saw starlets carrying their over-sized bags with them everywhere? Shopping, dinner, and even to a club? Those days are gone. Now, don’t get me wrong, we all need big bag. But, for evening, the smaller clutch is the way to give any outfit an instant modern touch that is classic all at the same time. Face it, unless you have a diaper bag in tow or are carrying kids’ toys galore, you really only need your phone, a credit card and license, sunglasses (when the sun is actually out after 6PM), lipgloss, cash and your keys. Anything else can be left behind.

I really liked this article; great clutches at all price points. I love my large Dareen Hakim clutch; i always get compliments on it! There is Chinese script on the gold part. Mine says strength and wisdom.

Thanks for the love! We are thrilled to be part of your great round up.
I’m a big clutch fan, and there are so many pretty ones in this post! One of my favorites found via SB Finds is my monogrammed beaded clutch from H. Audrey.
