Clutch Designer Handbags
The clutch purse first made the fashion waves in the early 1800s, when modern ladies put their handkerchief, smelling salts and rice papers (to control shining face) into the small reticules. Although the clutch purses went out of fashion a century later, surprisingly, their popularity rose again during WWII. Smaller clutch purses were manufactured during the wartime years with less material to fit the wartime mindset.
As its name indicates, the clutch purse is designed to be carried in the hand. The classic clutch purse is rectangular in shape with an adjustable leather strap or a detachable chain that can be slung on the shoulder. The younger generation of designers have brought a dizzying array of shapes and styles to the clutch purses we see today: triangles, ovals, round, square boxes, or heart-shapes, decorated with beads, satin, silk, brocade, sequins, rhinestones, fine leather, or crystals. Because of the elegance of a clutch, clutch purses are normally considered an evening handbag. A well-designed clutch purse is always the perfect accessory to your fantastic evening dress.
The elegance of a clutch purse is in its size – tiny and delicate, with barely enough room for your essentials. They are nowhere near as roomy as a regular handbag, but you can find larger clutch purses that offer the extra space for you to carry your wallet, cell phone, keys, pens and memo, or even a camera.
Wrist Purses – The wrist purse is a perfect choice for prom. They are cute and graceful enough to add to your glamorous appeal, while big enough to hold your essentials. Most of them are designed in cylinder shapes, with a soft drawstring handle. These purses are usually made of satin or silk in a single color. The tops of these wrist purses are decorated with feathers or satin flowers in a complementary or matching color.
Antique Frame Purses – This kind of clutch purse is usually decorated with sparkling sequins and glass beads. By using your thumb and index finger, these antique purses can be opened and closed in less than a second. They are so sparkly that it’s hard to not attract attention once you have one in your hand.
Envelope Purses – They are long slender envelope shaped clutch purses made of satin or beautifully sequined and beaded in a variety of designs. A simple snap closure and usually lacking a strap or handle makes the purse streamlined and stunning. You will look sophisticated no matter where you hold it, whether in hand or under your arm.
