The history of the clutch is drawn back to the days of the unique Coco Chanel, in fact she became the first woman who has ever had an elegant little bag-tube- present from the duke of Westminster.  In 1940-s Christian Dior made a tiny handbag-purse- Clutch-  a part of new style. Clutch bag were very popular in the 80’s when the business women in bright strict costumes or bright dress took a flat bag in her hand while going to a dinner or social events.

Today the Clutch is very popular again. As previously accessory for a more solemn occasion, modern clutch reserved for itself a much more fashionable space. Typically, small clutch bags are in the evening version, but the volume – for weekdays. Even there are even very large clutch bags, resembling mini-hobo in some collections.Today’s fashion offers us a clutch for every taste. Summer and winter have different clutch face. Clutch can be carried out of the ordinary or patent leather, reptile skin, textiles, knitwear or fur for the winter and of silk, velvet, satin for summer evenings outdoors with a glass of martini in one hand and clutch bags in the other.

2011 seasons’ Clutch bag take a more “square” (less elongated) shape. Models and examples are more interesting and original. Rigorous model of gray and black scale models are giving way to a bright, catchy colors. In a fashion metal shades, ornaments in the form of belts, chains, buckles, pockets of overhead.

This amazing emerald green color, natural shine of satin and traditional for Valentino decor with a large bow, performed in an unusual style, speaks in favor of a new model of Clutch. I cannot stop speaking about the decor. The bow struck me in the heart! Its tough, elastic lines are reminiscent of the packing tape for gifts, and at the same time, they are very feminine and elegant.

The bag is closed with zipper, unbuttoning which you can see the black fabric lining and Valentino logo outlined in red.

The cost of Valentino Satin Bow-Front Clutch is $ 895.

The designers of Yves Saint Laurent fashion house each season delight their fans with fresh and original ideas which soon into newest trends of fashion. Yves Saint Laurent Spiral Clutch is a nice confirmation of  all of this. The model’s name speaks for itself, so no secrets are hidden here.

This small bag, reminiscent of a student notebook, can be taken to the office or a glamorous party due to its original practical appearance. Of course, many people will look at you in surprise, like why the girl needs a notebook on the dance floor, but why not if its Yves Saint Laurent and  even not a notebook.

So, Spiral Clutch is a common rectangular bag shaped rather toughly, made of beautiful patent leather, which is closed with semicircular captive top, held by large metal spiral.

Frankly speaking, this is a funny idea, which I personally like very much, especially since the cost of the handbag is surprisingly low – only $ 395.

The new collection from Christian Louboutin Resort 2010 represents a wonderful fluffy Clutch of tulle. The design does not have a single seriousness, and there is no need in it during vacations, isn’t it?

Certainly, for the creation of this Clutch the designer was inspired by his recent collection of footwear for Barbie dolls or the fancy clothings of the Hollywood stars. This infantile Clutch of tulle is included into the Resort 2010 collection, although it could be a wonderful gift for Christmas or New Year for those who appreciate fluffy staff.

The form of the handbags is close to classical one– it is a familiar Clutch-purse with a rigid foundation, the silhouette of which can only be guessed by thick folds of air tulle. Frivolousness of the design emphasizes the naive pink color; this is probably the nicest thing of the resort collection of the next season as the color itself brings a lot of brightness to the model.

And, of course there is a metal buckle in the form of shoes of Christian Louboutin, occurring in almost all models of the Clutches made by the shoe designer.

The Clutch has not yet appeared in sales, that is why its price is not yet known. But hopefully it will do so soon as we are kind of impatient.

A traditional color for an evening bag now has black, silver or golden color, satin, feminine details such as bow or flower. But you can look at this little thing a little differently! For example, Peter Dandas, the chief designer of Pucci fashion house offers extravagant and very modern version: white satin with an abstract pattern and a rigid frame made of metal gold tone- a new combination for the traditional details.

In this thing is felt the traditional style of Pucci – expressive lines and shapes – and the modern approach that is combined with elegance and rigidity.
The bag is closed on a magnetic clasp, the Clutch is leather inside, with the logo of Emilio Pucci. The cost of Menaudiere Printed Silk Clutch is quite high – $ 2 028, but it is quite reasonable, because with such a bag you will never look dull.

This Clutch is quite different from anything you’ve seen before, while it is still elegant, stylish and quite an evening option of some kind of classical style appearance. The most important thing is that the bag is made by hand with a hook of amazing fan-shaped pattern, whereby the form of the Clutch resembles a shell with diamonds. And you are the same brilliant!

Before us is a model which looks exactly of the models of  50-ies of the last century, since it was in those years when such bags were on the peak of popularity.

In order the bag does not look like a casual one, the designers added an amazing detail in the form of chains of four different parts – wide “bracelet” of crystals, resembling diamonds, the next two – from beads of onyx, and the last – mysteriously glittering, incredible smoky quartz.

You can buy One Vintage Dicha Bonnie Clutch for $ 730.

Whatever the designers of One Vintage create, jewelry or ladies’ accessories of bags and footwear, each of their collections has special spirit of perfection, which rises above the crowd with its commonness and pop style.

And I think that Dicha Stella Bag is just an example of such perfection.
It feels like this model came to us from the 30-ies of the last century, but despite the vintage, it will perfectly fit the nightlife of the  crowded cities, as long as you wanted to merge with it, feeling yourself languid beauty of those times. The bag is sewn of special lamé tissue, created in the 60-ies of the last century, which zest is a special texture, resembling scales.

This bag has so many interesting details that you do not even know at what to look first. We might say that options include the lace with which the top of bag and the handle are decorated, a large brooch of smoky quartz color  or chains with balls in the form of diamond crystals, giving femininity and tenderness to the image of this Clutch. The fabric is settled on beige satin lining with internal pockets, mirror and One Vintage logo, and everything is attached to a metal frame with a vintage clasp.

The main decorations are on the front of the bag, from behind everything seems to be rather simple, without unusual decorations.
Dimensions of the Clutch are quite small – only 15 x 12,5 x 7,5 cm. You can carry a bag on a rather long shoulder chain, which will so wonderfully combine with a little black dress!

The cost One Vintage Dicha Stella Bag is $ 836.

For example, this Studded Suede Shoulder Clutch from Roberto Cavalli. Well, what rock is that? This is an upscale, elegant, feminine bag, decorated with small rivets. This looks very gentle and even not at all challenging. No, of course, we understood the hint, and heeded, and agree even to add gladiator sandals to this handbag.

The bag is sewn of chamois leather, so the luxury is obvious and needs no comments. By opening the mosaic top button you can see the leather lining of golden color with  small side pockets. Handbag is rather narrow at the first glance, but I think you can put there all the necessary things.

A small metal chain of a wonderful weaving enables to free your hands and carry the bag on your shoulder. The price of Studded Suede Shoulder Clutch from Roberto Cavalli is 1 185 $.

The handbag is sewn of patent leather which is typical of brand. Its glitter is complemented by the golden glow of luxurious fittings, which should be discussed separately. As to the rest of the handbags of this line, accessories do not only bear functional load, but also serve as beautiful decorative elements for your appearance. Retro-buckle “kiss” to which Stella McCartney has a weakness, is an integral part of feminine and refined image of the handbag. Crinkly Patent Clutch can be carried in hand or on fine handle-chain, it is not long. The dimensions of the Clutch are quite large, so that the cosmetics, phone, credit cards and cash will take their rightful place.
