Bigger is most definately better...

....when it comes to Maxi Clutches.

I know what you were thinking, dirty mares..


Another one of my all time favourite obsessions is maxi clutches. Well before the Chanel babies came into my life any night out I was on, you would see me with a clutch bag of various sizes. To me an ideal clutch is one which you can fit just the right amount of products in it- no-one wants to see outlines of whats in your bag bulging through.

Also the use of a brightly coloured clutch can add a pop of colour to a plain outfit, or teamed with a brightly coloured dress your doing the colour blocking trend. For some reason I always want to use a brightly coloured maxi in the summer, however at this time of year you can hardly find any. I always find that its Christmas time when the stores decide to stock their nice clutches.

However there are some gems to be found on the highstreet..


Top- Sloan Leather, £215 Michael Kors @ Net-a-Porter.com, Black Envelope, £45 Warehouse, Woven Leather and Suede, £395 Miu Miu @ Net-a-Porter.com, Pink Patent Leather, £12.99 New Look.
Bottom- Blue Metal Tip, £18 Asos, Pink Twist Lock, £25 Topshop, Black Flat Zip Contrast Clutch, £20 Asos, Cream Weave Metal Tip, £30 Asos, Yellow Portfolio Envelope, £20 Asos.

As you can gather, Asos have come up trumps with having the best selection on maxi clutches. I am loving the bright primary colours- definately debating whether to buy either the blue or the yellow clutch or perhaps the cream woven one for Holly's hen do. Or I might just buy them anyway, any excuse to spend money.

Oh and on a parting note- I give to you my "bigger than a maxi" vintage maxi clutch

For me the maxi clutch trend will never go out of fashion- whats your thoughts on it??
