Since clutch bags are so popular that they are available in various designs and sizes. Clutch bags are also occasion-specific. There are evening clutch bags, frame clutch bags, silver clutch bags, etc. Before you get baffled-down by the innumerable and various shops that carry clutches, think of the purpose for which you want to get one.
Choose a clutch bag that not only compliments your look and occasion, but one that is functional and can hold your minimum essentials. Coarse woven fabrics in the latest colors are just too fashionable these days. Try unconventional textures that have tie-dye effects or patchworks effects, studded with sequins and pearls.
Color Palette:
When it comes to colors selection, the choices are endless! You can experiment with taupe or tan to impart an excitement look or make a bold statement with red or black. Today's trendy colors include vibrant green, fuchsia red, dark citron, super lemon, etc.

Cost:
Though clutch bags are in demand and available in rich varieties, today they are far more affordable. Thanks to the ongoing recession and market situations, some shops are offering a series of discount sales on clutch bags. However, do not get swayed by the low price. Do consider color and texture before buying one. Make sure the clutch bag you buy is large enough to capacitate small but necessary items like car keys, mobile phones, debit-credit cards, wallet, etc. A palm sized clutch bags are chick, but if you are one for lipstick, perfumes, and combs, then it"s suggested that you buy a super-sized clutch bag that"s more spacious and can accommodate your items.
