Want to change gear in 2008? Use a clutch

I think something about a way a clutch is used, tucked under the arm or held in the hand, immediately lends a certain air of elegant nonchalance.

We’ve got 3 new styles that fit the bill from day to evening, smart to casual, home or away…

Use one on its own instead of a handbag (for the minimalists among you), or as a useful extra tucked in a tote bag; ideal for popping out for lunch, after-work drinks, or as a travel wallet.
