How to wear a clutch bag, the smallest variation of the handbag

The evening event is the ideal opportunity to exchange the otherwise often bulging and spacious handbags for the smaller option: The clutch. It is only big enough to hold the essential things. Lipstick, smartphone, small change and credit card, maybe a lucky charm or a lozenge. Walking into the evening with so little bulk is incredibly easy and certainly won't leave any welts on your shoulder. However, we at Misuri want to show you that you can also wear the clutch bag otherwise, not only to the elegant evening event, but in normal everyday life. How you can create a perfect casual look around it, we show you here.

The evolution of the clutch

The small "underarm bag" became popular in the 1920s. In the envelope, as the clutch was also called since it resembles an envelope, the emancipated woman stowed everything she just needed to celebrate: Make-up, cigarettes and her own money. Today, one hundred years later, the clutch is available in countless versions: small, large, long, square, made of soft leather, satin, glittery, shiny, plain, with logo or crystal brooch. The clutch always works, even in everyday life.

The clutch in envelope format

The clutch has long since ceased to be a companion only for the evening - bags made of fine leather and in bright colors like red or yellow can also be worn during the day and with business outfits. The envelope clutch, which resembles an envelope because of its pointed or horizontal flap, still exists today.

Misuri's Asymmetrical Clutch, made of soft calfskin, is available in red, navy, as well as burgundy and dark brown. It has a detachable leather strap, which means you can hold it in your hand from the bottom, or elegantly from the top. Or you can just clip it under your arm. Fits perfectly with jeans or in the summer with any ordinary dress! Similar is the Classic Clutch, made of soft calfskin, available in extraordinary colors like fuchsia, red, royal blue, brown and gray. It is particularly stylish, because it has gold hardware and a removable and adjustable strap to free your hands. The inside of the bag is lined with leather and suede. Goes with everything, with jeans, dress, suit and as a crossbody it’s also still practical.

The Belt Bag

For those who like to keep their hands free, the Belt Bag, a small belt bag made of Italian vegetable tanned hammered calfskin, is just the thing. This is an absolute designer piece in a quilted diamond pattern, available in burgundy or black. Fits perfectly around the waist with a white summer dress or over any shirt. The belt can also be worn separately with jeans only. The detachable shoulder strap made of leather and a sophisticated chain offers several wearing options: over the shoulder, across the body, or as a clutch. Worn across the body it is fitting for daily shopping.

How to wear the clutch with practical shoulder strap

Clutches become suitable for everyday use when you can hang them around your body. The perfect solution is then called a crossbody clutch. And Misuri has a few of them: a very stylish one is the Fern Bag made of lambskin. It is special because it comes in a handmade Intrecciato weave pattern. It is perfect for everyday wear and can be worn with practically anything: jeans, pants, dresses, sandals, boots or sneakers. Other examples are the Cross Body Bag in red or black or the Prisca Bag in natural brown. Both have an adjustable shoulder strap that can be adjusted or even removed depending on your taste. Prisca is made of vegetable tanned leather in a bag format with beautiful color gradation. This one also goes with any outfit and any everyday situation, having coffee with your girlfriend, going to the zoo or strolling around.
