A clutch purse is a women's fashion accessory designed to hold a few requirements like a driver's license, keys, a cell phone, and a cash card. Clutches are intended to be carried by hand, usually, still sometimes they have a detachable strap or chain so they can also be worn hanging from the shoulder. Since they're so small and come in such a wide range of styles, clutch purses are time and again used to personalize an outfit. They are often comparatively fair priced than other handbags; ladies choose to buy many clutch purses in different styles so that they'll have a purse to match with many different outfits. Clutch purses also come with decorated embellishments like embroidery, stone and sequence work etc.

Clutches come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, all of which can differ between brands and seasons. They come as little square or rectangular boxes, heart shapes, enclosed with beads, satin or brocade. They are fixed firmly with loops, tassels, and other fancy decorations.

Women choose a more utilitarian purse that she carries for daily life in for a unique clutch if she goes out for an evening event. A conventionally coloured dress might look good with a brightly coloured clutch purse to add some colour to the outfit.
