Statement clutches aren’t really the preserve of evening wear anymore.

Fashionable folk amongst us will know that a loud clutch is really all a sombre outfit needs, and if you don’t like shoulder bags or totes, and don’t carry anything larger than your iPhone and fave Chanel lipstick, a clutch is the perfect accessory partner.

So, to amp up your arm candy credentials, we’ve tracked down seven of the hottest clutches that all bring their A-game, but with a price tag deserving of an A*.

Whether heavy-duty studding excites you, or a delicately beaded clutch is more your thing, or if practical shoulder straps attract you and a box clutch feels ultra-modern, not to mention enviably chic, then shop our selection of pocket-friendly statement clutches that are perfect for the accessory aficionado on a shoestring budget.

Remember: the louder the clutch, the more toned down the outfit to go with it. And if you’re a minimalist, then a glam-dripping clutch is, well, justified.
