Clutches

Transcona Shannon

Is anyone else feeling the love for larger sized neutral clutches for every day/day time use? I'm crazy about these three and have put them all on my wish list...whose crazy idea was it to go on SYC anyway!!!

ELucca python clutch is amazing. All three are wish list worthy of course but that is my personal pick.

The only thing about a clutch is I worry I will set it down and forget it. Like at grocery store, on a counter somewhere. The whole idea of daytime clutch is to use in "real life" (as opposed to dress up occasions where there are no markets) so keeping it tucked under arm through the day must be considered.

You have a good one now that you carried in WIW pic right?

Very cute! I love the look, but I'm so absentminded I absolutely cannot use clutches. :T

The ones you linked are really cute, though!

Yes, Christieanne - I have a red faux croc leather one and I love it. But it's quite slim/small and doesn't hold an awful lot. I think I'd like something a little larger for daytime.

Yep! I'll be rocking the Wu clutch I got from lovely Steph once it gets warmer!

I like them! I use clutches for night time outfits but i'm another one who would probably forget and leave my bag somewhere if i was out and about. I'm super forgetful and...kind of a mess with that sort of stuff in general.

Well, the nice thing about two out of the three you picked is that they _do_ have a shoulder strap...I might use that during the day, and remove them for a sleeker nighttime look.

I like #3 best

I want the new Kate Spade clutch with the big bobble clasp.

Angie - I love the Kate Spade one too - are you thinking the neutral colour or the hot pink?

I love the idea of a neutral daytime clutch and I'm wishing for one every time I see somebody with a fab one out there, but I just fear that I would forget it somewhere. I'm rather absentminded from time to time.

Sigh. So glorious. So chic. So....small and easy to leave! I'll have to enjoy them vicariously or find a slightly oversized one with a slender shoulder strap option.

I carried a large, soft clutch all through high school, so I think I'd remember how to *do* it. It would be nice to have one of those for travelling. I'm taking my new canvas cross-body, but it would be nice to have a dressed up bag too--for daytime. It would be easy to pack.

They are all lovely but I like the #3 the best! Very beautiful. I don't work with clutches very well unless they have a strap of some sort that I can hold onto. I guess that's why they call them "clutches"!!

Love #3 the best! I use clutches for evening but never considered daytime wear. Thanks for putting the thought in my head, Shannon!

Those are lovely, Shannon! And I love the look of a nice envelope, especially with a dress or skirt.

Alas, I'm one more of the forgetful folk And I usually lug a lot of stuff around. BUT I could use it for daytime dos, where the clutch *is* the only thing I need to carry, and there's not much of a chance I'd be too distracted or preoccupied or overwhelmed to remember it.

Shannon, I like the cream and black best. Although I could EAT the orange and pink colour blocked version.

Angie - the cream and black is definitely YOU! I think the orange/pink combo is stunning for summer but more difficult to style due to the bold colour(s). I think that's why I'm looking at a more neutral version.

I am not going to get into this trend--I would lose my bag in less than five minutes. I could see doing a clutch myself if it had a shoulder strap as well (like my Kate Spade turquoise bag). I will live this trend vicariously through those of you who aren't forgetful like me!
