2.’ If you’re after a more vintage look, the Melrose Clutch is the one for you. With a hidden wrist strap, it’s versatile, and here in the Mod Tortoise color, it’s on trend and timeless at the same time. Available at cindab.com.

5.’ This is another classic look, proving that the clutch bag can be an elegant showstopper as a much as modern favorite. The Harper Mini Baguette Brocade by Jess Rizzuti, in black and gold silk brocade, is super sophisticated. Available at jessrizzuti.com
