Clutch Purses – A Touch of Class

Elijiah Rampart asked:

Clutch purses are extremely hot right now. Purses seem to change in style and fabric every year with other fashions. But for some reason, clutch purses never really go out of style completely, and these cute and often stunning classics are very popular at the moment.

Purses can come in many different flavors from hobos, buckets, saddlebags, backpacks, shoulder bags, and many many more. All of these purses are designed for different occasions and to hold different types and amounts of your things. So what does a women do if she needs to carry just a few essentials, but not quite enough for a trip out of town? She reaches for her favorite clutch purse and is happily on her way. She knows the clutch will suit her needs perfectly while putting the finishing touches on her outfit.

You don't often see clutch purses on an everyday basis, because these purses are not intended to be used all the time. The clutch is a situational purse for those times when you are carrying very little. The name, clutch purse, is quite appropriate because these purses are carried by clutching them with the hand. Some have a detachable chain or leather strap so that the purse can be slung around the shoulder and hung off to the side if you get tired of holding it.

Purses have been around since over five thousand years, from what we can tell. Very early on cultures realized that small bags could be useful for carrying money and valuables, and thus, purses became very popular with both men and women. They were worn on the belts of men, and women carried them around as bags. It wasn't until the early 1800s that we see the forerunner of what we would consider a clutch purse. Women carried what were called reticules, which she would carry her handkerchief, and perhaps some blotting paper and money. This style eventually evolved into what we now know as the clutch purse.

The clutch purse comes in a variety of styles, colors, adornments, and sizes. They can be seen in department stores in every shape imaginable. They can be seen as little square boxes, heart shapes or triangles, finished with beads, satin, or brocade. They can be fastened with loops, tassels, or other ornate decorations. They can be covered with calf skin. satin, patent leather, metal, or vinyl. They can be hard cased, soft cased, metallic cased, and multi-colored cloth or beads. Of course, the silver clutch purse remains the classic evening bag, and probably will remain so for quite some time.

Here are some of the more popular styles of clutch purses we see today:

Convertible Clutches - The purses are extremely practical. You can morph from clutch, to tote, to shoulder bag quite easily. If you can't afford a designer price tag, there are many convertible clutches available at reasonable prices.

Hard Case Clutch - This style takes on a retro type look and usually has a sleek satin or silk appearance. They make excellent evening purses, or for occasions that do not quite require formal attire, but you still want to look dressy. One trendy take on the hard case is a metallic looking crystal ball. These are very unique and you would need just the right outfit and carriage to pull this one off!

Metallic Clutches - These metallic clutches are extremely popular right now. The metal finish gives these bags a bit of glamorous look, but they are quite at home in more relaxed settings. Extremely tough and durable, the metallic clutch can endure quite a beating.

The Mini Clutch - While not being very practical, they more than make up for in style. They barely have enough room for your keys, lipstick, and some change. You could consider the mini clutch as fashionable arm candy, and the perfect way to round out any cute outfit. There are basically two styles to choose from, the traditional mini, and the super thin crayon clutch.

Over Sized Clutch - The popularity of giant handbags has spilled over to the design of the over sized clutch. They satisfy the impracticality of the traditional clutch purse and allow you to carry your normal load. The over sized clutch is quite popular now in animals prints such as zebra, tiger, and leopard.

The Silver Clutch Bag - Here is the timeless classic, the ever elegant and beautiful silver clutch purse. This is the bag to wear at your formal dinner event, and no evening gown is quite complete unless it is adorned with a silver clutch. This bag never goes out of style, and it is a necessary part of your wardrobe arsenal.

That special clutch purse is all you need to put the finished touches on whatever you choose to wear.

Find the Perfect Purse

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:34:23 +0000

Mary Amos asked:

A purse is an essential accessory for any women on the go; it is a place for her to carry anything she needs to keep close at hand, from makeup to her cell phone. A purse is great whether you want to head out for dinner and dancing, or whether you just want to relax and go out for a coffee and a paper on a Saturday morning. Thankfully, a modern woman has a full range of options to choose from when selecting the perfect purse to match her outfit and her mood.

Finding the perfect purse for your style

When finding perfect purses among all the different styles and designs that are available, there are some important practical issues to keep in mind. A purse, after all, is not just a simple bag; it is a statement about the woman's fashion sense and personality. There are a wide variety of different purses to choose from, each style having its own advantages and disadvantages.

Purses can be placed into two main categories: purses that are designed for a night on the town, and purses that are designed for everyday use. The different types of materials and construction techniques distinguish these purses.

Everyday purses are constructed from materials such as leather, nylon, plastic or straw. Purses that are designed for everyday use are usually designed to be either held by their handle or slung over the woman's shoulder. In the latter category you can find shoulder bags, doctor's bags and hobo bags. Hobo bags are just shoulder bags, but have a short semi-circle strap. Purses that are designed to be held by the handle include shopper bags and satchels. A third category of everyday purses is the demi-handbag, which has a short strap that can either be carried or strung over a woman's shoulder.

Evening purses, on the other hand, are smaller then everyday purses. For instance, a clutch purse is only designed to carry a cell phone and some lipstick when you are out and about and need to freshen up. A clutch purse does not have a handle or a strap, and is designed to either be carried in the woman's hand or tucked under her arm. If you need something larger than a clutch, you can use an evening handbag. Evening handbags are similar to everyday handbags except they are generally smaller. More importantly, evening purses will generally be made of more luxurious materials than an everyday purse would be made from. For instance, evening handbags are often made from silk or velvet.

What are the top designer purses?

The Louis Vuitton purse is the traditionally must-have purse, a well made handbag decorated with the iconic LV monogram. Other popular designer brands for handbags include Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada, Chloe and Herm

A Fancy Night Out – Packing An Evening Purse

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:56:51 +0000

E.S. Cromwell asked:

Your fiance went out of his way to plan a romantic and high-class evening at a five-star restaurant for you. Clearly, it's going to be a special night. A cultured evening full of classy, well-dressed people dining on upper-crust cuisine is close at hand, and you'll be partaking in the midst of it all. You're ecstatic since it's not every day, let alone year, that a fancy and elegant evening is on the horizon. But, despite your good fortune and thoughtful spouse, a tag-a-long nightmare finds itself looming a few days before and directly over your ritzy night on the town.

A nightmare on such a fine night? As in, running about aimlessly in a dark enclosure, seemingly pacing yourself away from dread to somewhere safer, but inescapably nowhere? No, not that type of ordeal. The nightmare here isn't dreamlike, it's real and a matter of preparing, - and not for the worst - but for your evening out. Now, although it's not all that bad and quite manageable, your personal nightmare involves packing an evening purse.

The Transfer:

The one nightmarish factor involved with packing an evening purse is the transferring of items, which are directly taken from your usual, every day hand bag. It's not that it's a taxing undertaking, but it is tedious, in a way. As a woman who carries around all essentials in one confined, organized and familiar spot, to transfer over only what you need for one night takes careful consideration and selection.

Bring Only What You Need:

Essentials found in your daily hand bag will differ greatly when compared to the contents of your future evening purse or clutch. Obviously, you can't stuff all the usual essentials you normally tote in your standard hand bag into your compact evening purse.

What needs to happen is a careful selection of true essentials, with convenience and petiteness in mind. By this compact characteristic, with true essentials, your purse collective should consist of no more than 15 particular items. Of these items will include absolute necessities for the night at hand along with one or two emergency purpose items.

Packing One Night Essentials:

Initially, you'll want to take your wallet out of your standard purse. The goal here is to not bring your entire wallet to dinner, just the absolute essentials within it. Take out those few items you'll need for the evening, just to avoid bringing extra, unnecessary weight. What you'll take out of your wallet will include your driver's license, a debit card and/or credit card, and in case of odd emergency, don't forget your health or insurance card. Also, it wouldn't hurt to bring 50-100 dollars of cash along, just in case plastic money options fail to cooperate.

Don't Forget Lady Must-Haves:

Along with the above absolutes, you'll need some essential lady items to bring with you. Makeup is a must, but you only need to bring touch up and maintenance items. Only try to bring your pressed powder compact, lip liner and lip gloss. Make sure to properly and fully beautify yourself before leaving for your fine night on the town. This way, if you need to touch up during your evening you can use the previously packed two or three makeup items in your clutch.

Other must haves should include your cellphone -of course-, a few breath mints or sticks of gum and, in case you have an issue with your eyes or contacts, some saline contact solution or eye-drop product.

Now, ladies, once you've taken these few items out of your day to day hand bag and transferred them to your evening clutch, you'll be prepared, but not overly so. You will have just enough in your clutch, a moderate amount that is not bulky or excessive. And you'll see that you're adequately prepared for the uptown night your lovely fiance has arranged. Enjoy your evening out and put nightmares to the side knowing you have a stylish and moderately packed evening purse.

Silver Clutch Bags – The Purse of Timeless Elegance

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:13:52 +0000

Elijiah Rampart asked:

What is it about silver clutch bags that makes them a timeless adornment that transcends fashion? Just thinking about a these purses conjures up images of Hollywood starlets walking red carpets in their elegant flowing gowns, with of course, a silver clutch bag under their gloved arm. These purses just scream elegance, class, sophistication, beauty, and no girl is complete unless a this style of purse is part of their clothing repertoire.

A Timeless Purse

There is very good reason why this particular style of clutch is so popular today. They can be used for many different occasions, and they look absolutely stunning. In particular, for a formal occasion where you are really dressing up the silver clutch purse can not be beat. They are somewhat small in storage space, but you use silver clutch bags strictly for the fashion. And don't these bags look absolutely fantastic? Yes, of course they do, and that is why this purse is THE choice for formal evening out. It puts the finishing touches on your already gorgeous outfit, and makes a statement for you that you have class, sophistication, and absolutely terrific taste. Look at any fancy outing that requires formal attire and these purses are what you will mostly see. A silver evening bag is timeless, meaning they never ever go out of style, and they will always be useful for times when you want to dress up. Back in the day a silver clutch purse was quite expensive, but today you can find absolute steals on these purses if you look hard enough.

Why You Should Own Silver Clutch Bags

First off, silver clutch bags look absolutely fantastic. For the times when you need to go to a formal occasion your silver evening purse can always be used to put a glamorous finishing touch to your outfit. No matter what even or occasion is necessary, you always need to carry something around and a silver evening bag allows you to do it in style. Also, these little jewels never go out of style. It is one of the few types of fashion items that transcends all fashion trends and will never go out of style. This purse is somewhat versatile because you can carry under your arm without a strap, or you can a long shoulder strap for the times when you get tired of holding it. Whether it is under your arm, or around your shoulder, your silver clutch bag will adorn you with a stunning impression of class, sophistication, and shear beauty.

Considerations for a Silver Clutch Purse

The simple truth is that this clutch purse is not big on storage space. Silver clutch bags will not be a good choice if you are going somewhere that requires you to take quite a bit along. They really only have enough room for the bare essentials, and that is it. Just the basics will fit such as some cash, a few credit cards, and your cell phone. But for the classy evening out, this should work out just fine. Your purse will not be very useful for you during those shopping adventures where you need to take a pile of stuff with you. Also, if you for times when you need a free hand, like during a shopping spree, you don't want to have to hold your purse under your arm the entire time. These longer, bigger, shopping trips will require you to leave your cherished silver evening clutch at home, in favor of a large bag with a shoulder strap.

Some Final Thoughts On the Silver Clutch Bag

You should expect your clutch purse to be with you for a life time, so you want to make sure you care for it properly. Doing so will ensure that your trusty silver clutch bag is always there ready for you when you really need it. Don't put to many things in the as they are designed to carry only a small amount of items. If you stuff too many things inside your purse will stretch out and lose its beautiful appearance. If the bag feels heavy chances are you loaded it up, and over time this will stress your bag and cause more wear. Also, if you put a lot inside your purse it can look lumpy, and doing this will cause it to look not as sharp as it should. Make sure when you pull out your silver evening purse that you are going somewhere that requires only a minimal number of items. Silver clutch bags are a dressy fashion item, and they should be treated as such. Considering this advice should allow your clutch purse to make the life journey with you in excellent shape, and always be there for you when you need it the most.

Aren't you ready to take your stunning silver clutch out for an elegant evening?

The rules in my eyes—–bags

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:13:23 +0000

The rules in my eyes-----bags

It's not just about carrying your stuff. The right tote, clutch or hobo can transform an outfit, while a misguided choice only detracts from fabulous attire.

Old-school rules

Like sunglasses, totes have been expanding to gargantuan proportions but sporting an oversized tote makes anyone under six feet resemble a bag lady. The proportion is wrong. If you insist on going super-sized, turn your bag into a statement and team it with no-frills clothes. Totes and satchels work best with voluminous clothes such as maxi dresses and flares, while little sundresses, minis and evening gowns require dainty clutches.

It is replica designer handbags

This season's lust-have bags are quilted with heavy-duty chains and buckles. Still going strong are the quilted Stam bags by Marc Jacobs, shaped like an old-fashioned doctor's bag, Balenciaga's rock'n'roll-style quilted biker bags, and Marni's hardcore PVC shopping bags. The ultimate It bag is the Ice Cube by Chanel, made from metallic leather and vinyl. Less costly alternatives include the black buckled bags at Zu () and Sportsgirl (). Strandbags has studded totes (0) and PVC carry bags.

Clutches

The best clutches are oversized, so they are handy for storing mobiles and wallets. Marc Jacobs' autumn/winter collection includes large versions

in primary colours. Locally, Luisa Clare has oversized clutches in red and green ( to 9). For after-five dresses, seek out a vintage beaded clutch. Spencer & Rutherford has retro-style embroidered purses (6). Alternatively, go metallic: Zu has silver clutches for , while Miijo's silver and caramel ones cost 9. If you're keen on animal skin, try The Red Queen's glorious lizard-skin Lucertola clutch, lined with red suede (0).

All in the details

To play up subdued attire, look for bags with eye-catching details such as pleats, buckles and studs. Strandbags has studded white satchels for and navy satchels with tassels for . Ebony Eve's totes come in bold bronzes (0), while Dotti has cute hobos with rope handles (). Black is always the safest bet when co-ordinating bags and outfits. If your wardrobe is an explosion of rainbow, go for something neutral in beige, bone or light tan. Daytime totes crafted from straw can resemble picnic baskets. Don't be put off. Not only great for the beach and the park, big straw totes perfectly set off 1950s-style full skirts. Just Jeans has striped straw numbers for .

Coloured accessories

Accessorising is now about contrasts; it's worth experimenting with unusual combinations. Taupe shoes look fabulous with a vivid scarlet bag, while navy shoes are wondrous with a pale apple-green bag. Team an olive clutch with fuchsia footwear or a deep purple hobo with yellow shoes.

Yellow

A quick word on the season's essential hue: yellow. Wearing various shades of one colour is a prevailing trend on international catwalks. If you're going top-to-toe, choose a smallish bag. Oversized yellow totes are a tad full-on. Must-have bags include Chloe's dainty handbags in buttercup yellow.

Maintenance

Protect leather and suede bags with a stain guard to seal the material. To keep leather in tiptop shape, store handbags in a breathable dust bag in a dry place.

Must-haves

A tote or satchel and a clutch bag embellished with beads or embroidery.

Must avoid

Leave white shoes and matching handbags to ladies who play bowls. Denim bags with jeans are also out. As for so-called ironic brand names printed in big letters, that joke just isn't funny.

My love my life!

Ladies Purses and Handbags – Make A Fashion Statement

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 03:58:11 +0000

Jayson Pablo asked:

A range of stylish ladies purses and handbags are available in markets across the UK and other countries of the world. A purse or a handbag is an important item that ladies would always like to keep with them. Given below is a brief description of the historical development of ladies purses and men wallets around the world over.

A purse is defined as a small money container that is typically used by women and includes a compartment for keeping money. A purse is often fashionably designed and is used to hold a number of items like hairbrush, keys, cellular phones and other makeup related items. The word purse was originally derived from the Latin word "bursa" which means ox hide.

Ladies purses and men wallets have taken on many looks over a period of time. Early Egyptians used to wear pouches that were worn around the waist. During early 14th century, only women used to have purses that were attached to their girdle. Men started keeping wallets by the middle of 15 century in many parts of Europe. These purses and handbags were typically ornamented or embroidered with gold. It was customary for men then to present their new brides with a purse that had an illustration of a love story embroidered on it. In Africa, wizards used to carry unadorned bags in which they would keep a powder that was used to interact with the supernaturals.

People started calling their hand-held bags as handbags by the start of twentieth century. During 1920s, purses were made that had complicated fasteners, internal compartment and locks. It was then common for women to carry a doll dressed exactly like them as a handbag. The new fashion of upper class women also changed during the period. Women started carrying purses that did not match with their outfits. During World War II, women purses were made of wool as metal was saved for War supplies by the governments of the day.

Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermes are the leading manufactures of ladies purses and men wallets around the world. A number of variations of the purses are also available in the markets around the world. Some of the popular variations of purses include totes, pocketbooks, security bags and coin purses. A large variety of handbags are also available in markets across the UK these days. Some of the highly popular varieties of handbags include satchels, duffels, clutches and hip purses.
