CLUTCH bags are every fashionista’s favourite because they can go for day and night outings, job interviews as well as red carpet appearances and religious occasion. Available in plain, simple, studded, embellished colours, clutch purses also come in colour-block, animal print and glamorous gleaming satin and leather.  Not only can they be used to make style statements, they are surely a wardrobe staple for ladies of style.  

  A Lagos-based fashion designer, Olalekan Oladele, creative head of Ethereal Couture, says,  “envelope clutch purses are ‘elite’ piece of ladies’ fashion accessories because they’re commonly carried on special occasions and evening outings. They are timeless and structured. They vary in size, from small to mid and oversize, and they’re usually made of leather, fabric, plastic, metals or a combination of different materials.”
  He adds, “an envelope clutch purse gives a lady completely different and chic look compared with the usual shoulder-strap handbags. The right clutch pulls together your outfit while serving the practical purpose of carrying all of your essentials.”
