Logos, block colours and graphics are big in clutch-ville this year; the vitality of bold, eye-catching prints offset nicely against the night out attire they so often accompany – the infamous little black dress, in its numerous manifestations – and also neatly provide an excellent conversational starting point on the night out in question too...
Those in the market for more traditional clutch bags won't be disappointed with what's on offer. Gucci have an elegant icon embossed leather design, whilst Burberry's leather clutch in their traditional house check is a classic, worthy investment.
But those after more 'out there' styles can discover Edie Parker's Pineapple-embroidered box clutch and Sophia Webster's leather and patent 'Beach Babe' bag, which tick some pretty hefty FUN boxes...
Both a la mode and the classics have a place in our wardrobe, and we're scooping up as many as we can this summer.
You can buy them all now too, by clicking on the gallery below...
