Get out of my dreams and into my cart! If there’s one accessory we’re willing to splurge on, it’s a designer purse — especially a clutch that we reserve for special occasions. While we have a tendency to throw our large totes around, we take extra care of our small handbags. And since these accessories are arm candy for formal functions, we prefer to stick with luxury labels.
According to editorial fashion expert Vogue, “Whether for a wedding, black-tie event or vacation, the best clutches undoubtedly deserve a place in your wardrobe. However, don’t look at these small purses as occasion-only one-trick ponies — they pack a major punch.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Clutches offer an opportunity to make a major fashion statement without stealing too much focus from your outfit. Though they be but little, they are fierce (even Shakespeare would agree!).
Investing in a designer purse is like buying art — it’s a subjective (and expensive) decision, so you want to pick a piece that you will love for years to come. Some of Us may gravitate toward simpler styles, elevated basics that will go with almost any ensemble. Others, however, may opt for bolder choice that will stand out in a crowd. Whether you prefer an everyday essential or a conversation-starter, we’ve selected a variety of options that will appeal to a wide range of shoppers.
Dress to impress with these 11 designer clutches! From sparkly to solid, these portable purses are definitely worth the price.
Signed, sealed, delivered — it’s yours! This sleek YSL envelope clutch will complete any outfit. “Perfect day-to-evening clutch,” one shopper declared. “It fits a lot more than you would think and the magnetic clasp keeps everything secure. The compliments are endless. It is durable, stains can be wiped off easily and it’s pretty water-resistant. For the price and value, it is a steal.”
Shining, shimmering, splendid! Shine bright with this metal mesh clutch with crystal embellishments. The optional braided chain strap takes this purse from a clutch to a crossbody. Style this bag with a cocktail dress and matching metallic heels!

A different take on the popular Bottega Veneta woven leather handbag, this smaller style is optimal for day-to-night outfits with its adjustable crossbody strap.

The leather is absolutely divine and the hand-woven craftsmanship is impeccable.”
What can we say? We just really mesh well with this metallic mesh purse. Adorned with luxurious rhinestones, this slouchy style is part clutch, part shoulder bag. An absolutely iconic accessory that will take any outfit to the next level!
