I love the idea of clutches for going out, when you don’t want to lug around a huge bag, but at the same time I hate spending a ton on them because they are so small and get little use (compared to a normal bag).  So here’s a good option from Cole Haan that is a pretty reasonable $148.

The size is 9 inches wide by 5-1/2 inches tall and it has a detachable metal strap.

Look at the nice detail: grainy leather and good quality metal detailing.

Here’s one from Juicy Couture, Convertible Wristlet Clutch, $158.  It is 8-1/8 inches wide by 4-1/4 inches tall.

This one, from Nine West, is really cute despite being a Valentino knock-off.  Neves Large Clutch, $89.  This one is a bit larger: 14-1/2 inches wide by 9 inches tall.
