The diminutive Olsen twins vamped it and now the oversized bag is a wardrobe staple. But don’t turn your back on the clutch. While it will force you to pare back your essential items, the clutch is more than just a purse, it’s a functional accessory.
We recently spotted a large cream 1980s envelope clutch at the Costume Museum, which would rock some dark denim, while any velvet or patent version is an easy way to take your little black work dress from the office to cocktails. This lace and satin clutch from Cake has a magnetic strip so it closes without a clasp and was the perfect accessory at a recent wedding at the Millennium Centre. |
