Clutch - the Most Stylish Women's Accessory

Thursday, 21 January 2010

clutchThe clutch of the XIX century was a small women's accessory that contained the most required belongings like smelling bottles or a handkerchief and which became the actual trendy item to replace modern handbags for many occasions. Throughout two centuries the clutch was regularly announced as outdated, though it regularly came back to be in vogue with a good consistency. Currently a clutch is an exclusive evening accessory which is evident since a woman of our times has to keep in her bag more fine things then ladies in the XIX century, including keys, a mobile, a purse, makeup products and other stuff. Once the clutch was acknowledged as the accessory for an evening wear, the designers rushed to create their own clutches and now the majority of them tell from the delicacy and even luxury so much required to compliment the evening ensembles.

Being traditionally miniature, the clutch, however, may vary in the shape and size. They usually come round, triangle or square. Clutches are mainly made from leather or luxury «evening» fabric like satin and velvet matching the decorative elements. In some particular cases clutches are made from even the metal.

The American designer Judith Leiber creates absolutely unique evening accessories when the hard case matches with the plenty of decorative elements presented by the sparkling  Swarovski crystalls. Accessories made by Judith Leiber are easily and exclusivelyrecognizable. Most of them distinguish with the original shape of an animal, for example, and the luster of hundreds and thousands of colorful by Swarovski is not possible to confuse with anything else. Nevertheless, Judith Leiber created and launched far more classic square-shaped clutches with metal clasps and again with milliards of tiny crystals. There are several designers who are well-known for their trimmings, including stylish clutches, like Lauren Merkin, Tory Burch and Nancy Gonzalez. Lauren Merkin releases absolutely elegant clutches from soft leather of classic shades of white, grey, black and beige color.

Clutches by Tory Burch are easily identifiable either. Most models are decorated with the gigantic ornamental logo as an unusual cross made from metal inserted into the circle, and such logo can be seen onto Burch shoes.

The things created by Nancy Gonzalez distinguish with the high cost, first of all. The Hollywood celebrities and even Mishel Obama like the designer things made from the exotic skin of python or an alligator which explains the price for the things of several thousand US dollars. Nancy Gonzalez made her clutches in the same style as the other things she created. She loves classic form, smaller sizes, and traditional shades of black, beige and bright-red. Unlike creations by the most designers, the accessories by Gonzalez are not designed only for evening wear, since moderate colors, strict shapes and consummate elegance are perfectly matched in the designer clutches. The clutches from the latest collection by Nancy will cost from 1.2 thousand US dollars.

In the meantime, the coming Spring-Summer 2010 will make some correction to the clutch segment.  Most designers who included clutches into their Spring and Summer Collections rejected the idea to make their works of art tiny and for the evening wear preferring larger and more practicable versions of them. Thus, some clutches by Carolina Herrera are roomy enough to place all necessary women's belongings and they are not only for evening wear. Performed to match the color of the dress from the bands of various shade, the clutches of a quite large size have a practical wicker handle and perfectly go with stylish business suits launched in Spring-Summer Collection by Carolina Herrera.

Classic square clutches went on prevailing in Spring-Summer Collection of world brands launched in the context of the ended Fashion Week. Burberry Collection included classic square clutches with the recognizable checkered prints of the legendary British brand, clutches from the exotic reptile skin of traditional shades of red and black were in the collection by Hermes, while the American designer Alexander Wang demonstrated quite an original variation of the classic clutch, American football ball-shaped.
