A clutch is a small evening handbag , typically used for formal occasions. As the name implies, a clutch is intended to be held in the hand or tucked under the arm, and they’re often strapless. The interior offers just enough room for small items, and the outside can range from a streamlined look to extravagantly decorated.

What should you look for when choosing an evening bag or clutch?

Whether you’re interested in modern clutches with convenient chain straps or vintage evening bags with kiss lock closures, shops on Etsy sell a variety of women’s clutches for every occasion and outfit. Here are a few things to consider when choosing an evening bag. Strap: For refined galas, charity balls, and upscale gatherings where mingling is the main activity, a strap may not be necessary for your evening clutch. If you’re planning on dancing the night away at a wedding and want to keep your evening bag close by at all times, consider a clutch or evening bag with a crossbody or wrist strap so your hands are free to show off your moves. Size: Go dainty with a small evening bag or consider a large clutch if you want to carry more than a couple credit cards and a tube of lipstick. Material: Sequins, beads, rhinestones, and other embellishments can add dazzle to your evening bag, but don’t forget to consider how it feels in your hand or under your arm. If there are no straps and you’re planning on wearing a sleeveless dress, you may want to choose a silk clutch or a satin evening bag that feels smooth.

What are the best evening clutches for weddings?

Whether you’re a guest at a wedding or the bride herself, evening bags for weddings are simple and sophisticated accessories to store your touch-up makeup and keep tissues on hand for those inevitable tears of joy. For the bride, a white beaded clutch or a lace clutch pairs well with a classic wedding dress. If your dress is more modern or streamlined, consider a rhinestone evening clutch for a dose of head-turning sparkle, or opt for a blue wedding clutch to fulfill the time-honored tradition of wearing something blue. Some shops on Etsy can even create a custom bridal clutch with your initials, married name or wedding date. It makes a unique backdrop for photographing your rings or other bridal jewelry before the big day begins. After picking something for yourself, pamper your bridal party with bridesmaid clutches personalized with their names.
