Clutch: Style at your Fingertips


One of the most favorite forms of handbags of women in all shapes and sizes are clutches.  When I think of clutch bags I think – party, glitter and glamour. However, in today’s fashion era clutch bags are fast becoming versatile pieces that can be used throughout the day and evenings.

A simple clutch bags speaks volumes about a woman style and taste in fashion. It can give an outfit that oh so sought after “IT” factor, hell finding the perfect clutches makes my day and at worst when I am unable to find one I feel distraught. Dramatic yes? But who cares. Clutches make perfect gifts for mothers, sister, daughters, wives, best friends and even grandmas! But the tricky bit is choosing the perfect one.

Remember
1.     Purpose – think of the occasion you’re purchasing it for. For example is it for a formal event? Causal dinner? If the event is formal you decide to opt for a clutch that is hardframed, square and has a glitz factor. If you’re after a casual clutch go for something that is oversized, has gold/silver hardwear, snakeskin patterning or plain leather.
2.     Colours- there are so so so many colours to choose from! I suggest that every woman owns a clutches that are – black, silver, gold, beige and cream. These colours are versatile and classic. Also consider the current seasonal colours.  


Here are some clutches I’ve recently purchased :) I’ve attached the links to purchase them if you’re keen!

Designer Bags

Louis Vuittion. Givenchy. Chanel. Prada. Phillip Lim. Gucci. Marc Jacobs. Guess. Rebecca Minkoff. Burberry. Miu Miu. Coach. Fendi. Balenciaga. Yves Saint Laurent. Hermes. Valentino. Versace. Jimmy Choo. Michael Kors. Alexander McQueen. Kate Hill. Christian Dior.

These are just a few of the name that run through my mind when I think of designer bags. Who wouldn't want to own a bag by any of these designers. I know I personally would kill to own a Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 or even a Prada Saffiano. But the reality is most of us mere mortal cannot afford these babies :'( though it never hurts to have a wishlist - leave your wishlist in conspicuous places around your home and office you never know who will set out to play fairy godmother!

Let's face it bags will always remain a key fashion accessory and that's why it's important to have your own personal collection. My role as Bagarella is to show you how to build to your own personal collection without the costs. Look ahead my baggies (haha) bags up ahead!

Until next time,
