12 Spring Clutch Bags

Spring season usually brings spring parties. And part of dressing for spring parties and dinners is finding great accessories. One accessory that always makes a statement are clutch bags. These small bags are perfect for carrying your essentials while adding a touch of elegance to your outfits. Use them to elevate your party looks, or as a daily grab-and-go for carrying your most essentials items.

Traditionally clutch bags do not have a handle. The purpose is to “clutch it” in your hands. But more brands are adding optional chains which gives clutch bags much more versatility. There are some occasions when being hands free makes sense- such as holding a drink at a wedding while trying to eat some hors d’oeuvres. Or perhaps you carry a large tote to work, but just want to take your phone and wallet with you out to lunch. Keeping a small clutch in your tote is useful. While clutch bags are beautiful all year long, spring clutch bags are especially fun to wear. Today I’m sharing a mix of traditional clutch bags and those with optional chains for every spring occasion. I’ve searched the internet and chosen the very best to share! Here are 12 categories of bags to inspire you.

12 Spring Clutch Bags

1. Straw Clutch Bags

Once spring hits, straw bags are everywhere. Not only reserved for summer, straw bags can be worn any time of year. I especially love them for travel as they are versatile enough to go with everything. These natural fibers handbags give an organic look to your outfits. They are easily paired with casual looks, but I also really love how they add an effortless vibe to a more formal look. In a previous post I talk about how to style a straw bag for all occasions. Here are a few of the best unique straw clutch bags I’ve found:

Mme Mink Shell Clutch

The prettiest clutch bag all season! This seashell shaped wicker bag adds a whimsical touch to your outfits. Great for spring travels and well into the summer season. It’s one of those special pieces you will enjoy wearing year after year. The best part is that it may fit your phone at 9″w x 6″H x 3″D.

Blue Clutch Bag

Add some color to your spring outfits with this blue clutch bag. Made from hand-dipped wicker, this sturdy little blue clutch also has a detachable chain strap, making this even more versatile. It will fit a phone (super helpful) and comes in several different colors that are perfect for spring dressing.

Knitted Raffia Wicker Framed Bag

Combining both raffia and wicker in this gorgeous bag! A generous and flexible size to carry your essentials. The framed closure allows for easy carrying by the hand, however there is also an optional chan strap.

Palm Beach Clutch

The prettiest shade of green and perfectly named the Palm Beach clutch. Green is nature’s neutral. I love this with a light neutral outfit or paired with eyelet.

Cane Clutch

This cane clutch is a classic take on warm weather stye. Meant for day to night use, the simple yet graceful lines add a touch of nostalgia to your outfits. Plus the neutral color ensures that this will go with everything in your closet. The detachable chain strap is an added bonus.  Made in Italy.

 

2. Clutch Bags For the Bride

 

Clutch bags are the perfect wedding accessories. Whether you are the bride, or a wedding guest, a clutch is an elegant way to carry only your essentials for the big day. Brides can have fun keeping your look monochrome by choosing a white clutch bag, or add a bit of sparkle with a metallic gold or silver clutch. A clutch is also a fun way to add that “something blue”. Here are the prettiest clutch bags for brides that you can wear again and again:

Alma Caso: Julieta Clutch

Made from supple Italian leather, this floral clutch was made for spring occasions. Three leather flowers adorn the front of the bag, while a gold chain adds a useful touch. Beautiful for any bride to carry well after the wedding.

Loeffler Randall: Rayne Pleated Bow Clutch

This pleated white lace bow bag adds a refined elegance to any spring look. I especially love this one for brides. This is very roomy at 11.25″ wide and has an optional chain strap. Complete your wedding look with a pair of gold metallic heels for an elegant statement.

Cult Gaia: EOS Linen Clutch

 

This ivory linen bag is such an elegant one to own! The natural texture contrasts a formal wedding dress in the most effortless way. Linen wrapped beads surround the trim, making this an eye catching statement. This one is for your most important pieces as it is too small to fit a phone.

“Something” Blue Clutch Bag

This is your “something blue” that can also be used well after the wedding. Its tonal white and blue design adds just a touch of blue and is perfect for your wedding, honeymoon, and beyond!

 

3. Embroidered Clutch Bags

Embroidered bags are true works of art, and come in so many colors and designs. It’s hard to narrow down this category but here are my top picks for embroidered clutches based on quality, details, and color availability.

Pamela Munson Minaudière

Pamela Munson’s collaboration with Schumacher is insane! The straw clutch bags are inspired by classic Schumacher fabric designs. In addition to that collaboration, Pamela Munson has created quite a beautiful collection of embroidered bags. They come in so many colors, here is just a sample of them.

 

Kayu Bags

Kayu makes a great collection of raffia clutch bags that are perfect for spring. The hand-embroidered details are so organic and natural! I love this neutral style for wearing with any color outfit. This style will “just fit” a phone, a credit card, ID, and a lipstick at 7.75″w x 4.5″h x 2″d. Comes with an optional shoulder strap.

 

Rafe Bags

 

Rafe NYC always does such a great job with embroidery. I love this colorful and vibrant style for wearing with your neutral outfits. It brings in all of spring’s best colors. The dome shape brings a softer, feminine edge to your outfit. A bag of this quality and style is a modern day heirloom.

 

4. Spring Evening Clutch Bags

Cult Gaia: Lael Rhinestone Clutch

For the fanciest of occasions. This rhinestone clutch is a gorgeous choice for a formal party (I’m also thinking for New Years Eve!). The contrast of the stones against a satin or chiffon dress is stunning! The top has a zipper closure to keep your valuables safe.

Metallic Nala Clutch

A shiny metallic clutch pairs with everything from a little black dress to a white midi. Think of this as your neutral evening bag. I love this modern shape!

 

5. Crochet Bags

Crochet is a great transition from spring to summer material. It’s like and airy and has the prettiest texture and detail. A crochet bag is best paired with a simple, minimal outfit when you want to add something special.

 

6. Beaded Bags

Beaded clutches give you the same look as embroidered bags but can be much more affordable. The simple envelope style makes for easy carrying and no fuss styling.

7. Pearl Clutch

Pearls are a timeless addition to any outfit. Whether you wear pearl earrings, a pearl necklace, or a pearl clutch, this is one piece that will always be in style. You can go with a full pearl encrusted bag for a formal wedding or party, or just a simple pearl closure.

 

8. Gold Clutches

Gold is a neutral that can be worn with anything. I love how it adds an extra texture with it’s sheen. Not only for dressy occasions, but gold clutches can also be worn to elevate any daytime look. Choose leather, fabric, or beaded gold.

 

9. Embellished Bags

Embellished bags are so fun for spring parties. Whether you want to add a fancier vibe to you look, or contrast a simple white jeans and tee outfit, embellishments on bags can be a great way to elevate your look.

This is a true clutch that is meant to be held by the hands. The size is large enough to hold a phone in addition to a few of your other most needed essentials.
