Clutch Handbags

A perfectly chosen clutch handbag can complete an outfit as well as pair of shoes or the right piece of jewellery. According to journalist Imogen Fox, you needn't spend a fortune to get something both glamorous and practical.

A clutch handbag takes its name from how it's carried. Clutched in the hand rather than slung or carried on straps, it's the most glamorous of handbags and is generally designed to carry the bare essentials of a special night out.

Clutch Handbags Give Designers Freedom

Being destined for a restaurant or club, the clutch handbag offers designers the chance to showcase their skills and experiment. Pre-Second World War, a lady could even step out clutching an Art Deco bag in shiny new Bakelite.

Many designers are now offering the flexibility of a detachable strap, like many Aliza bags available at Parisma.

If you're looking for a real specialty handbag, then a clutch is perfect. As speciality items, the clutch bag comes in as many styles and materials as there are outfits to match with. From cool and elegant single-colour bags in a classic material like leather to patching- and beading-enhanced riots of colour, there's a great deal of choice with these smallest of handbags.

Parisma has a great range of evening bags, including clutches with and without detachable straps. From the glamorous to the quirky, take a look at their range and call 01534 738562 or email info@parisma.co.uk to register for wholesale discounts of up to 60 percent on orders over €100.
