When a clutch is this simple, it needs something to make it stand out. JJ Winters did just the right thing by adding three rows of decorative zippers. They popped against the black soft suede background. The repeating zippers make a bold statement and add a modern feel to the clutch at the same time.

How gorgeous are these clutches? I admit that I’m not the type of person who wears skull as an accessory, but these Alexander McQueen Ornate Clutches are simply beautiful! I love both available color combinations: Red and Gold as well as Black and Silver. If you take a closer look you will see that the eyes and teeth on the skulls are encrusted with black swarovski crystals. Out of all the Alexander McQueen skull clutches, I like this design the most. It has an old world feel with a touch of coolness (thanks to the skull), and to top it all off, it’s also very feminine. Love it!

The one thing that attracts me to this clutch is the color. I love how it gradate from black to light gray to the middle of the clutch. The shape and design are fairly simple and elegant. Since the size is not too big (22 cm x11 cm x 6 cm), this clutch will be appropriate for day or night. It also has chain strap that tucks away in the clutch.
This clutch is made of patent eco-leather, which means it’s not leather. It is now on sale on Forzieri for $99
How cute is this clutch? It looks like a shiny blue bean. It kinda reminds me of the “Jack and the bean stalk” story. In my imagination, the “magic” bean would probably look like this (but a lot smaller).
I love how this clutch exudes a modern minimalistic design. It has clean lines and the metallic color makes it look so futuristic. I’m not sure of what you can put in this clutch because of the odd shape. My guess is that you can put your lipstick, your bean-shaped phone and your bean-shaped cards holder ha ha ha. It definitely has a unique and unusual design. I would definitely get it if I had an unlimited shopping budget.
From Net-A-Porter $1,385
When I went shopping on the weekend, I found the coolest black clutch. The brand is Michele. I’ve never heard of a Michele bag before. I know that they make watches but I did not know that they also make bags. I was trying to look for the clutch on their website but I couldn’t find it. It was probably last season’s collection, since it was on sale and it was the only one left.
What I like the most about this clutch is that it has handles that you can tuck in when you are not using them. I think it is a very convenient feature. The zip top is also a nice feature; it makes getting your stuff in and out of the clutch easier compared to a flap closure clutch. What’s more, the clutch is oversized (15.5″ x 9″) so I can carry all my necessities. Just in case you are wondering about the leather quality, it is soft and has a little bit of a sheen to it.
The retail price of this clutch is $395.99 but it was discounted to $98.97.
This whimsical Goldenbleu clutch instantly caught my eyes. The red, white and black combination looks so vibrant. This will definitely pop when paired with your solid color outfits. If you look at it closely, this clutch consist of three different leathers: Patent, suede and metallic, which add interest and textures to the simply shaped clutch. I love Goldenbleu designs; they are usually young and chic like this Tyler clutch.
Unfortunately, Goldenbleu went out of business earlier this year. You can still find their bags at some online retailers. You can buy this Tyler clutch from Endless for $158
This Mary Norton clutch is very dainty and feminine looking. It is perfect for spring and summer parties. The chiffon makes this clutch looks so delicate. You can buy this from Saks for $995. I’m sure that not everyone is willing to pay that much money for something as small as 7″W X 6″H X 2″D which will only come out of the closet a handful of times in a year.
For my budget conscious readers, I have an alternative that will give you a similar look but cost less than $30. I found this Rose Clutch on eBay. This cheaper clutch is a little bit bigger than the Mary Norton clutch, it measures 9″x 5.8″x 3.0″ and it comes in many different colors.
I have never bought anything from this seller, so I can not share my experience with you. However, the seller is a power seller and has a good rating. Regardless, you always have to be cautious when shopping on eBay. I find that the safest payment method on eBay is PayPal. If there is something wrong with your transaction you have a better chance of getting your money back if you are paying with PayPal. I’m planning to get this clutch for my next summer party, however I still haven’t found the dress yet so I can’t decide which color Rose Clutch I will get. Don’t you just love shopping? I know I do.

This Alexander McQueen “Squeeze It” clutch has been seen on Audrina Patridge arm so many times, all over the place. Now, it is finally on sale for 50% off on Net-A-Porter. It was originally priced at $1,180 and now it is down to $590. Get Audrina’s look for half the price!
This texture rich clutch got my attention. The color and texture combination really works well together. I’m guessing that the python texture is probably not real python, regardless the clutch is still beautiful. I like the slanted closure, as it accentuates the simple silhouette.
The generous size of 13″ by 9″ makes it a highly functional clutch and great for day or night. There is a zipper closure and two interior pockets for organizing your stuff. This Sarah Clutch is made of Italian leather with ultra suede washable lining, just in case you accidentally smear your lipstick. Very thoughtful!

This Peggy clutch really speaks to me. I like everything about it. I like the simple style, the python texture, and the gold hardware against the dark red color. The gold hardware can be pulled up and you can carry it like a tote. This means you are getting two looks in one price.
After reading the description of the clutch, I learned that the python is not real. It is actually embossed. I’m fine with embossed python as long as it is done nicely. I remember looking at brand new python bags in Michael Kors boutique with the scales flaking off and it was not a good sight. I guess embossed python is not so bad after all. At least we know it won’t flake off.
The one thing that bothers me the most about this clutch is that it is not made of leather. The description said it is made of faux-patent leather. So, I’m guessing that it is made of PVC. I wish that they had made this in leather. I have this odd infatuation with handbags and leather. I get really disapointed when I find a bag that I like but is not made of leather. But if you are nothing like me, you can buy this from Shopbop for $132. This clutch measures 7″H x 11″L.
Valentino Bow Clutch $895 from Saks available in Brown Metallic and Grey Metallic.
Christian Louboutin Mini Satin Bow Clutch $725 from Saks available in Black and Pink
These two clutches look similar, however I would choose the Valentino Bow Clutch over the Christian Louboutin Mini Satin Bow Clutch anytime. There is nothing wrong with the Christian Louboutin Clutch. What sets the Valentino Clutch apart is that it is made of nappa leather while the Louboutin clutch is made of satin. Leather is more durable than satin, plus Louboutin is a fairly new name in the handbag industry (even though his shoes are fabolous). My point is: If you are willing to spend that kind of money for a clutch you should definitely go with the Valentino, which I think is a better deal. It would be a different story if the Louboutin clutch has a much much lower price.
