Designer Top Handle Bags for Wimbledon 2025 Clutched UK

Bag Game, Set, Match – Designer Top Handle Bags for Wimbledon 2025

by Clutched.

Trendy Bags for Wimbledon

At Wimbledon, fashion and tradition are inseparable. British summer style comes into its own here, clean tailoring, crisp shirting, pleated skirts, and always, a statement bag. From Princess Diana’s pared-back clutches to Serena Williams’s monogrammed totes, bags have long held their place courtside. This year, top-handle designs feel especially relevant, confident, purposeful, and perfectly in step with the setting.

Wimbledon guests dress with precision. Bags spotted around the grounds are expressive and deliberately chosen, from grained and embossed leathers to woven textures and vivid colour. Each one makes its presence known.

 

 

Natural Details

Handbags in woven taupe, embossed leather and soft-grained calfskin bring an added dimension to day dressing. Each one adds interest to an otherwise pared-back palette.

Style Notes for Wimbledon

Whether you’re seated centre court or catching coverage from a private terrace, the right bag pulls everything together. Here’s how to wear these standout top-handle pieces.

  • Keep fabrics breezy but smart. Linen suiting, cotton poplin, and clean knit sets all pair seamlessly with top-handle bags. Balance the look with a loafer or minimal sandal, trainers are strictly for the players.
  • Don’t underestimate the role of colour. A vermillion or persimmon leather bag works surprisingly well with soft whites, creams, or navy. Keep the rest of the look pared back and let the bag lead.
  • Black doesn’t mean basic. If you’re going for a black handbag, think in terms of finish and mood. Satin, glossed or grained leather add dimension. Use it to ground a look built from pastels, pinstripes, or even muted florals.
  • Texture tells a story. Woven totes, embossed leathers, and ribbed knits read fresh at Wimbledon. These work especially well with simpler styles, shirt dresses or A-line midi skirts.
  • Sunglasses and jewellery should support, not compete. Stick to clean gold or silver details and classic frames.

Balmain Women Pre-Fall 2025 Collection

Balmain Women’s Pre-Fall 2025 Quiets the Noise with a Sharply Curated Wardrobe and Standout Accessories

by Clutched.

A Quiet Pivot

Olivier Rousteing has stripped back the theatrics this season, favouring a concise edit of wardrobe staples shot through with Balmain’s signature hardware. Denim, poplin and knitted pieces form a disciplined framework, accessories take over as the collection’s true protagonists.

Pre-Fall often serves as a proving ground, here it feels decisive. The palette stays within white, blue and earth tones, while leopard-lace trims flicker just enough to remind you where you are. Raffia and canvas bags insert a summer-city mood without drifting into resort wear. The result is quietly commanding.. a collection that feels lived-in the moment you step off the runway.

 

 

Bags That Do the Talking

This season’s Balmain bags are built for life beyond the front row. The 1945 Soft Moon crinkled calfskin in white is convincing proof that texture and logos drives desire. The B-Army canvas tote pares back the house monogram, while the Sync Mini’s hardware feels decisive, not decorative. Raffia and denim totes add a laid-back, city-ready touch — perfect for everyday wear, not just holidays — and each bag fits easily into your regular rotation without fuss.

Wearable Highlights

Rousteing refocuses on pieces you return to week after week. The lace body anchors tailoring, layer it under a blazer or let it speak for itself at dusk. Denim shorts and flared jeans shift the collection from seasonal novelty to something you’ll reach for long after Pre-Fall’s run is over. These backless satin tops and poplin dresses feel current and forward-looking, steering clear of any vintage echoes.

Shoes as Punctuation

Footwear here isn’t an afterthought but the final edit. The Sync mules and stilettos cut clear lines under trousers or dresses alike, their pointed toes as precise as a tight edit on a great film. Anthem’s denim flats bridge the gap between street style and tailoring, signalling that Rousteing hasn’t lost sight of his roots in Paris youth culture. More than finishing touches, these shoes assert their presence in real life, not just on the runway.

Styling Tips

  • Keep it pared-back  This collection thrives on restraint. Let key pieces like the lace body or backless satin top take centre stage by pairing them with minimal accessories and clean lines. A sharp blazer or tailored trousers will balance the softness with structure.
  • Mix textures thoughtfully  The interplay of crinkled calfskin, raffia, denim, and poplin invites tactile layering. Try a denim tote with a satin top or a raffia bag alongside knitwear to add subtle dimension without cluttering your look.
  • Lean into the palette  Stick to the collection’s refined palette of whites, blues, and earth tones to maintain cohesion. A touch of leopard lace or zebra ribbing works best as an accent rather than a statement.
  • Shoes that finish the story  The pointed Sync mules and stilettos cut through any outfit with precision. Wear them with cropped jeans or tailored dresses to echo the collection’s mix of street savvy and elegance.
  • Everyday luxury  These pieces are designed for real life, so don’t be afraid to wear the structured totes and classic denim on the daily. The focus is on versatility, style them for both meetings and weekends without overthinking.

Office Bags for Women

Few accessories define your day quite like the work bag. It’s where power dressing and practicality intersect, the need to fit everything from your laptop to your lipstick. Below, we’ve broken down the season’s best across four key categories including shoulder bags, totes, top‑handles and backpacks, so you can choose exactly what your schedule demands.

 

 

Shoulder Bags – Your Go‑To Carryalls

The best shoulder bags have enough space to carry a tablet or notebooks, but subtle in their branding so that they complement everything from a blouse to a blazer.

These styles can stay with you well after you’ve left work and hit the local for after work drinks, if that’s your thing!

Tote Bags – When You Need a Desk in Your Hand

Totes need to take on a dual personality, capacious enough to accommodate laptops, lunch boxes and last-minute purchases, but refined in their proportions. Opt for pared-back panels in tonal leathers or materials like suede and coated canvas, and pay attention to handle drop and opening width, small details that determine whether this is just another carryall or your new weekender bag.

How to Carry a Work Bag Without It Carrying You

Don’t Let Your Bag Dictate Your Look
Treat your work bag like you would a jacket, it should complement the outfit, not overwhelm it. A structured black tote? Pair it with soft tailoring or a longline knit. Something oversized and tonal? Use it to anchor monochrome layers. It’s all about maintaining control.

Leather Doesn’t Always Mean Formal
There’s something unexpectedly fresh about taking a supple brown tote to an office that’s all glass and grey. It softens the boardroom aesthetic without veering casual. Similarly, textured finishes, pebbled, suede, even coated canvas — shift the tone.

Backpacks Belong in Fashion Now
The right backpack is no longer a student cliché. Look for clean shapes, low-shine hardware, and discreet branding. Wear with a trench, wide-leg trousers and an unbuttoned shirt for a look that says ‘I work in design’ — even if you don’t.

Crossbodies at Work? Absolutely.
The smaller crossbody is having its moment. And yes, it can work Monday to Friday, particularly in minimalist palettes or monochrome leather. Pair with anything oversized: a blazer, boxy knit or even a trouser suit.

Tote Smart, Not Big
If your bag’s size is the talking point, it’s probably doing too much. Instead, think proportion. Large totes work best with clean lines, minimal detail and no shouting logos. You want it to say “editor,” not “PR sample haul.”

Day-to-Night? It’s All in the Edit
Not every work bag needs to go out after 6pm. But if it is doubling up, remove anything too obviously utilitarian, laptop sleeves, cables, receipts. A quick outfit shift (swap trainers for slingbacks, add a cuff) and it’ll carry on just fine.

New Season Designer Bags for Women Clutched UK

Your Bag, Your Clique. Which Of These New Season Designer Bags Has Your Vote?

by Clutched.

Your Designer Bag Clique

Most of us have formed loyalties over time, knowingly or not to labels that first caught our eye at uni, to the brands that defined our post-lockdown reset, or simply to the one designer whose vision consistently just gets us. We form cliques around aesthetics, shared histories, even mutual shopping habits. There’s the logo loyalists who’ve stuck with Versace since the 2010s, the Chloé devotees who treat subtlety as a kind of moral compass, and the high-gloss pragmatists who want their bag to signal boardroom prowess.

Think of this as a style referendum. Six houses stand for distinctly different sensibilities, each vying for your vote. From Prada’s reinvention of seaside style to Dolce & Gabbana’s sun‑kissed artisan spirit, the ballot spans innovation, reinvention and assertiveness. We’ve narrowed the list and each bag is a potential poster child for your personal brand. Browse, then cast your mental vote. Which clique carries the day in your wardrobe?

Your Verdict?

Six cliques, 24 contenders, now it’s your turn. Which designer bag earns your vote for summer’s defining accessory?..

 

 

Styling Strategies to Own Your Clique

Create a Clique Mood Board: Before you dress, gather images, snapshots of street style, campaign shots, even film stills, that echo your chosen house’s spirit. Let this visual shorthand guide your outfit’s mood, from accessories to attitude.

 

Play the Signature Echo: Identify one defining detail of your bag (say, the Medusa charm or wooden handle) and weave it into your look via unexpected places: a brooch, a statement ring or even a bespoke nail colour. It turns a bag from ‘that nice tote’ into the story’s anchor.

 

Genre‑Bust Your Silhouettes: Put your clique in dialogue with another: team Prada’s macramé with a Balmain blazer or layer Dolce & Gabbana crochet under a Gucci straw tote. Cross‑pollination breathes new life into each aesthetic.

 

Micro‑Trends as Backdrops: Spot micro‑trends, sheer shirting, pearl‑stitched denim or thrifted scarves, and let them frame your designer pick. The contrast makes the bag’s signature sharper.

 

Vote with Your Playlist: Soundtrack your morning with the music that matches your chosen clique, an opera aria for Versace maximalists, lo‑fi beats for Chloé minimalists. It’s an oddly effective way to inhabit a style mindset before you leave the house.

Strathberry New Season Handbags Kite Clutched UK

Strathberry’s New Handbag Arrivals & Celebrity Approved Sale Favourites

by Clutched.

From Edinburgh Workshops to Global Spotlight

Strathberry arrived on the scene in 2011 as a quiet disruptor. Founders Guy and Leeanne Hundleby distilled the everyday handbag to its essentials, trading loud logos for a signature bar‑closure that clicked into place like a soft punctuation. Early adopters embraced the minimalism.

Kate Middleton’s Multrees Chain Wallet clutch and Meghan Markle’s East/West Mini crossbody cemented its royal approval, while Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Michelle Gellar were soon spotted carrying its clean lines through Hollywood and New York streets. A 2015 relaunch honed price points and enlisted Spanish ateliers, embedding an aura that’s always felt at home in gallery previews and red‑carpet moments.

This collection reads like the next chapter in that story. Colours shift between the deep richness of oxblood and the chalky warmth of clay, with a vivid marine blue. The season’s new arrivals carry Strathberry’s confidence into new territory, while our curated sale edit proves that earlier favourites remain as compelling as ever.

Styling Guide – Putting Strathberry to Work (and Play)

The Office Edit
Pair the Kite Maxi Black Hobo with sharply tailored suiting in dove grey or navy. Let its generous shape absorb a slim laptop and meeting essentials, then tuck it under your arm as you stride between boardrooms. Add loafers or low-block pumps in tonal leather and a fine‑gauge cashmere roll‑neck for a quietly authoritative finish.

Weekends
For Saturdays and Sundays, sling the Osette Clay Raffia Bucket across a white cotton shirt dress or wide‑leg linen trousers. Contrast the raffia texture with polished white trainers and a lightweight trench in ecru or moss green. Finish with minimalist gold hoops to echo the bag’s drawstring hardware.

Evening & Events
Tuck the Mosaic Nano under your arm alongside fluid silk separates—a bias‑cut slip skirt in midnight blue and a tucked‑in bodysuit in ivory works brilliantly. Keep jewellery architectural—a cuff bracelet or angular studs—to mirror the bag’s graphic pattern. Pointed stilettos in black patent or deep oxblood leather complete the look.

Travel & Transit
Load the Melody Clay Tote with weekend‑away essentials—a pashmina, a paperback and your passport. Wear it over a leather‑trimmed bomber, tapered joggers and slip‑on loafers for seamless airport‑to‑hotel style. A pair of oversized sunglasses and a silk headscarf nod to old‑school glamour without feeling costume.

Handbag Safety and Protection Clutched UK

Handbag Theft Is Rising – Here’s How to Keep Yours Safe and Protected

by Clutched.

Handbag Vigilance

In recent years, the United Kingdom has witnessed a troubling increase in thefts, with handbags emerging as a prime target, particularly in city centres. Last year alone78,000 snatch thefts were recorded, predominantly targeting bags and phones. In London, this figure is even more pronounced, with some estimates suggesting a 70% rise in phone and bag thefts in the capital over just one year.

Keeping your bag safe means protecting it from theft, shielding it from wear, and ensuring its contents stay secure. This guide dives deep into every angle, drawing from expert advice and practical tips to help you maintain your bag’s condition and keep your valuables safe. Whether you’re a casual shopper or a fashion buff, these insights will help you care for your investment and enjoy it for years.

 

 

Physical Safety – Keeping Your Bag Out of Harm’s Way

First up, let’s tackle the big worry, theft. Handbags are prime targets, especially in busy places like markets or train stations. Research shows carrying your bag securely is key, opt for crossbody straps and keep it in front, not dangling at your side. Be mindful of your surroundings, particularly in tourist hotspots where pickpockets thrive.

For an extra layer, choose bags with anti-theft features like lockable zippers or slash-proof materials, which make it harder for thieves to get in. Never leave your bag unattended, whether at a café or in a public space, use a handbag hook to keep it between your legs under the table. It’s not only about vigilance, it’s about making your bag a tough target.

Then there’s damage.. scratches, spills, and weather can take their toll. To protect, use water-based protector sprays like those from The Handbag Spa, which shield against stains, liquids, and sun damage. Store your bag in a dust bag or cotton pillowcase in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and cracking.

If rain catches you out, slip on a rain cover or plastic bag to keep moisture at bay, and if it gets wet, dry it naturally, never use a hairdryer, as it can dry out leather and cause damage. Handle with care, too, avoid overloading to maintain its shape, and use handbag hangers when not in use to keep it off the floor, reducing exposure to dirt and scuffs.

Maintenance and Care – Keeping It Looking Fresh

Your bag deserves regular TLC to stay in top shape, and cleaning is where it starts. Different materials need different approaches, for leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner or conditioner to keep it supple, avoiding harsh chemicals like baby wipes, which can strip colour.

Fabric bags can often go in the machine if the care label allows, using mild detergent, while suede needs a brush to remove dirt, consult a pro for stains to avoid ruining it. Always empty and declutter before cleaning, including the interior, to tackle crumbs and grime for a thorough job.

Storage is next, and it’s crucial for longevity. Use dust bags or cotton pillowcases to protect from dust and allow airflow, storing in a cool, dry place to prevent mould and fading. Stuff bags with tissue paper or bubble wrap to maintain their form, especially for softer materials, and organise on shelves, hooks, or in bins to avoid stacking, which can deform them. Check stored bags every few months for signs of mould or wear to catch issues early.

When it comes to repairs, act fast. Minor scuffs or loose threads can be tackled with appropriate cleaners or repair kits, but for tears, broken zippers, or luxury bags, go professional. Services like Handbag Clinic offer artisanal fixes for scuffs, colour restoration, and handle replacements, preserving value for sentimental or high-end pieces. For DIY, minor cosmetic issues like discolouration can be handled at home with leather cleaners, but structural problems like sagging often need expert hands.

 

 

 

 

Security of Contents – Safeguarding What’s Inside

What’s inside your bag matters, too, and keeping valuables safe is a must. Use inner pockets or pouches for small items like keys or jewellery to keep them secure, and avoid carrying unnecessary cash or important documents, only take what you need for the day or for travel. Be discreet in public, don’t flash your wallet or phone to avoid drawing attention from thieves.

 

For secure closures, choose bags with lockable zippers or magnetic snaps to deter quick grabs, and if your bag lacks these, consider aftermarket locks or clips for added peace. Anti-theft technologies are worth a look, too, slash-proof materials prevent cutting, RFID-blocking pockets protect against electronic theft, and tracking devices like Apple AirTag can locate your bag if stolen. These features are increasingly common, especially in travel bags, offering peace of mind for busy days out.

Trends and Considerations

While not a core focus, it’s worth noting that anti-theft technologies are evolving, with cut-resistant anchor straps and smart locks gaining traction for travel. For casual shoppers, sticking to basic tips like secure carry and regular cleaning will do, but fashion buffs might appreciate bags with these modern features for added security. Always check manufacturer care instructions, especially for designer bags, and consult professionals for valuable pieces to maintain their condition and resale value.

 

Keeping your handbag safe means a mix of vigilance, care, and smart choices. Protect it from theft and damage, clean and store it right, and secure what’s inside to enjoy it for years. Regular check-ups and prompt repairs will keep it looking fresh, whether it’s a daily tote or a special occasion clutch.

How to Style Valentino Garavani’s New Season Handbags

  • Polished Vain Bags work hard in structured outfits. Pair the black shoulder or tote versions with crisp shirts, soft suiting, or a clean white tank and maxi skirt combo. They bring shine without shouting.

  • Embroidered Vain Styles call for texture play. Think cotton poplin dresses, loose knits, or linen tailoring. Let the colours do the talking — everything else can afford to tone down.

  • Nellcôte Minis are made for movement. Weekend jeans, oversized blazers, or sun-faded dresses – these bags carry the ‘out-the-door’ energy we all want in summer.

  • Viva Superstar Bags are pure dopamine. Lean into their colour-block confidence with clashing brights or pull it back with muted basics. Either way, they add instant intent.

  • Rockstud Spike returns to remind us that studs aren’t dead – they’ve just grown up. Style with monochrome looks or evening separates for a subtle punk nod.

  • The 9to5 VLogo belongs in your rotation. Office to gallery opening? Done. Style it with crisp tailoring, fluid trousers or even a tee-and-trousers uniform. It makes practicality feel like a choice.

Summer Skincare UK Sunny Days ClutchedUK

Skincare Essentials for Sunny Days – Sun-Safe Protection To Keep In Your Bag

by Clutched.

Skincare Protection

The UK sun is out in full force, so it’s time to act. Whether you’re 25 or 50, you need skincare that protects and preserves your complexion against UV rays, dehydration, and urban grime. With summer’s warmth, your routine should be portable, effective, and no-nonsense. Here are the must-have products to keep skin radiant on the go, with tips to stay covered.

 

Why Sun Protection Matters

Cloudy or not, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate, speeding up ageing and raising skin cancer risks. Heat and humidity can also dehydrate skin, making protection and hydration critical. Lightweight, multi-tasking formulas are the new standard for women. Here’s what to keep close.

 

 

Sunscreen – Your Core Defence

Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is essential to block UVA and UVB rays. Choose lightweight, travel-friendly formulas.

Cult Handbags Designer Luxury Bags ClutchedUK

Who’s Really Running Fashion in 2025? These Cult Handbags Have the Answer

by Clutched.

Cult Handbag Icons

Handbags are signifiers of taste, timing, and sometimes, status. So, what makes a handbag cult?.. It starts with recognition (not just of the bag itself), but of what it says about the person carrying it. A cult handbag isn’t always the most expensive or the rarest, but it draws attention from those who know. Think of it as fashion’s version of knowing the right reference at the right time.

Some bags enter this space through legacy. The Birkin remains an icon for its scarcity and mythology built around it. Celebrity moments matter. Jackie Kennedy and the Gucci Jackie. Sarah Jessica Parker and the Fendi Baguette. These were cultural bookmarks. Today, it’s TikTok clips and paparazzi candids doing the work, with speed and reach that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago.

The handbags everyone continues to watch is Alaïa’s Le Teckel. This dachshund-inspired shape has gone from quirky niche to full-blown phenomenon. It’s been carried by tastemakers from Paris to Tokyo, and its absence in stockists only fuels the obsession.

The Row’s Margaux, on the other hand, is the year’s most subtle flex. Rosé, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and a host of editors and stylists have made it a front-row regular. Its attraction is its restraint, a rarity in a sea of statement pieces.

Miu Miu’s Arcadie keeps its momentum, bolstered by a clever campaign fronted by Gigi Hadid and plenty of organic love on social from stars like TWICE’s Momo. The Loewe Puzzle still feels smart and self-aware. Meanwhile, the Andiamo from Bottega Veneta has been boosted by its London Fashion Week visibility and ongoing editorial coverage.

The Chanel 22 continues to divide opinion, but sales suggest it’s becoming a mainstay. It shows up on red carpets, at airports, and in every resale roundup worth reading. The Pochette Métis from Louis Vuitton, with its quiet ubiquity and climbing resale value, is another one to note.

Next-Gen Cult Favourites

Prada’s Buckle Handbag is also gaining traction, especially in its smaller size. The silver hardware gives it just enough presence to stand out in a sea of low-key styles.

Stella McCartney’s Falabella is re-entering the frame (not newly launched, but newly relevant). Its commitment to sustainable materials aligns with the direction many shoppers are heading, and its distinctive chain detail still holds visual weight.

Cultural Significance and Resale Power

Cult bags tend to mark a moment. The Chloé Paddington captured the early-2000s, and the Dior Saddle still brings to mind the excess and energy of its time. In 2025, the Arcadie and Hop are shaping up to play a similar role.

 

Christian Diro 2020 Mini Grained Black Calfskin Saddle Satchel

Christian Dior

2020 Mini Grained Black Calfskin Saddle Satchel – £2,404

And for those thinking longer term, it’s worth noting that resale interest continues to shift. Hermès remains a gold standard, but newer players like the Chanel 22 and Bottega’s Cassette are proving their worth, especially in limited drops or unusual finishes.

To carry a cult bag now is to have your finger on the pulse. It’s not about knowing what’s trending, it’s knowing what matters before it hits saturation.

Bridal Wedding Handbags for Women Clutched UK

Your Bridal Handbag Edit – Whether You’re in the Party or a Guest for the Big Day

by Clutched.

Wedding Party Edit

For a long time, the bridal bag was an afterthought, a satin after-dinner mint of an accessory, chosen more for the sake of completion than character. You picked something small, pale, and unremarkable. And then you left it behind at the reception.

But bridal fashion has shifted. It’s more self-aware, more referential, more personal. And with it, the humble wedding bag has found itself pulled into sharper focus. Not just in the flat lays and aisle shots — but as a piece of the day’s narrative. It’s a mood signifier now. A clue to the wearer’s fashion instincts, her sense of occasion, and yes, her understanding that in 2025, no detail is too small to be culturally legible.

So, whether you’re walking down the aisle, standing beside her in the line-up, or sitting three rows deep in a countryside marquee, your bag counts.

 

 

For the Bride – Not Just White, But Intentional

You don’t need to match your dress. You need to mean your bag. Which is why today’s bridal clutch might just as easily be a Loewe Flamenco in icy lambskin, soft, sculptural, and knowingly off-centre, as it is a crystal-laced minaudière.

Take the Clio Peppiatt Ivory Scallop Embellished Tulle Tote . It’s sweetly nostalgic, almost costume-like in its scalloped beading, but worn with a short dress or second look, it leans bridal in the best way.

For something with classic gravity but zero conventionality, the Judith Leiber Couture Perry Clutch  takes faux pearls and satin and reframes them as fashion currency. It’s the sort of bag that announces “bride” like a closing statement.

And if the brief is “investment bag that just happens to be bridal,” there’s the Bottega Veneta Andiamo in Sea Salt. Intrecciato, but pared back. You’ll reach for it again long after the vows are exchanged.

Bridesmaids and the Inner Circle – Echo, Don’t Imitate

There’s a certain choreography to being part of the bridal party. You want to be in step, but never in costume. Textural detail, nods to theme, or slight off-tones that read considered rather than colour-coded.

 

Aquazzura Very Bow Tie Embellished White Satin Clutch

The Aquazzura Very Bow Tie Clutch  is light-hearted without being literal, its oversized embellishment making it ideal for a garden wedding or a soft-focus city event. Meanwhile, Aspinal of London’s Mini Hat Box all croc-embossed ivory and 1960s charm gives bridesmaids something they’ll want to carry again.

If you’re leaning cooler and more directional, the Alaïa Le Click East West in white  is worth a moment. It’s lean, glossy, and doesn’t play into any bridal tropes. Worn with a minimal dress or jumpsuit, it reads as confident and current, a side character with style credentials.

Wedding Guests – Dressy, But Not Scene-Stealing

Let’s be honest. The wedding guest dress code has become its own genre of style pressure. And while no one’s saying you should bring a baguette bag to a black-tie wedding, you also don’t need to default to a hard-shell clutch you’ll never touch again.

 

Saint Laurent Cassandre Large Textured Off-White Leather Clutch

The Saint Laurent Cassandre Large Clutch  in off-white hits that sweet spot, luxe, tonal, recognisable. For something with a point of view, the Roger Vivier Jeu de Fille in Pink Raffia  is off-kilter and unexpected, especially with a tonal slip or oversized silk tailoring.

And for those who understand the power of dark contrast in a sea of blush tones: the Balenciaga Hourglass Pochette in Burgundy Croc  feels bold. A stylist’s choice, and not the kind of guest who’ll be mistaken for the help.

Fashion People at Weddings – The Meta Accessories

There’s always that one guest, or sometimes the bride herself, who treats the wedding as a platform. The right bag, in this context, is almost editorial in nature. It should raise eyebrows, earn compliments, and maybe even get photographed more than the cake.

 

Valentino Garavani VLogo Signature Mini Embellished Silver Crossbody Bag

The Valentino Garavani VLogo Mini in Silver  is unapologetically flashy, its embellishment bordering on theatrical, but worn with something stark, it becomes pure fashion punctuation. Similarly, the Bvlgari Serpenti Forever Top Handle  in white plays on the codes of occasionwear, but with a high-jewellery trim that’s more Rome than registry office.

And then there’s the Jimmy Choo Bon Bon Pearl Bucket, a bag that doesn’t care if it’s a cliché because it’s already two steps ahead. It leans into bridal tropes (satin, pearls, bucket shape) and wears them like a party trick.

The Post-Wedding Reality Check

Of course, the best bridal and wedding bags are the ones you want to carry again, not out of guilt, but because they’ve already earned their place. The Ferragamo Double Gancini Mini  in ballet pink, for instance, feels bridal-adjacent, but entirely wearable for date nights or dressier days. The Gucci Softbit Top Handle  in white leather does the same, a bag you can imagine carrying to brunch long after the petals have been swept away.

And that, perhaps, is the real evolution. The bridal bag isn’t just a placeholder for your lip gloss and tissues. It’s a detail with agency. A fashion choice that stays with you, both on the day, and in the story you carry forward.

Summer Approved Designer Handbags for Women Clutched UK

Summer-Approved Bags That Work with Bare Legs, Linen, and Your Moodboard

by Clutched.

Stylish Summer Bags

There’s something wildly liberating about summer, bare legs, linen shirts (you don’t bother to iron), that just-back-from-the-Amalfi glow (real or faked). But if there’s one piece pulling more weight than sunscreen and sandals combined, it’s your handbag. When done right, it anchors every outfit with intent. And this season, it’s about pieces that echo the breezy energy of your wardrobe without leaning too hard into cliché.

Whether it’s leather in gelato tones or raffia bags with power, these picks work from beachwear to countryside weekends.

 

 

Raffia Totes for Days That Stretch On

Raffia totes have become the unexpected hero of summer accessories. Their natural fibres are lightweight, making them ideal for market runs or beach walks. This season, designers are playing with stripes, colour blocking, and leather trims that bring just enough variation to these totes to not feel too casual. A good raffia tote should hold everything from your sunscreen to your sunhat.

  • Mini bags work well with cropped tops and high-waisted shorts.
  • Leather shoulder bags in pale or pastel tones soften the look of utilitarian outfits like denim and tees.
  • For evening, reach for bags with subtle embellishments or glossy finishes to add a layer of interest without appearing overdone.
  • When your look is all about relaxed tailoring, these bags provide contrast without distraction.

Stiletto Block Heels Fashion's Throne Clutched UK

Are Stilettos and Block Heels Frenemies Fighting for Fashion’s Throne?

by Clutched.

The Heels Showdown

London’s streets turn into a catwalk at odd hours. Dusk in Shoreditch brings out the art crowd in chunky heels, spilling from galleries. Late-night Mayfair rings with stilettos clicking past velvet ropes. The city wonders if stilettos and block heels are frenemies fighting for fashion’s throne, rivals clashing yet sharing the spotlight. It’s tradition versus rebellion, comfort versus command, tested on every pavement.

 

 

 

The Case for Stilettos

Stilettos have long ruled glamour. Their thin profiles have defined high fashion for decades. That finesse still lingers, shaping how we see style, picture the draw that turns heads at a West End premiere, straps catching the light, or a red sole flashing, a status marker since the ‘90s. They own evening wear with a lift that brings drama. But broader heels are stepping in, challenging their spot.

The Block Heel Revival

Block heels push back against the wobble of narrow designs. Their wide bases ground a look that’s solid. Studded or patent, they fit Shoreditch gallery openings and cobbled paths. Some see a feminist angle—choosing the body over old rules. Statement or shift, it’s up to you, but their plain shape stands out against heels chasing trends. They skip the hype, offering something steady.

The Real Choice Isn’t Between Heels, But Between Intentions

It’s not about one heel beating the other, it’s about what you want. Stilettos carry high-fashion femininity with their slender form, a lineage that still shapes perceptions of style. Block heels bring confidence for daily wear. Stilettos light up evening wardrobes while blocks rule the daytime.

Stilettos have a reputation of “pain for style”. But new cushioning cuts strain by 25%, making some as comfortable as block heels. It comes down to the moment: a presence may be the victor for a gala, but on the front row or a festival field, block heels often win. Block heels now show up at big events, but stilettos keep their grip on evening wear.

Block heels match a push against discomfort, a nod to respecting the body, but stilettos fight back with ergonomic fixes. Both heels rise and fall in popularity. Block heels stick around, dodging trends, while stilettos chase details that fade. Classic stilettos and simple block heels will both stay relevant.

Wearing stilettos means leaning into tradition and drama, like a red-carpet strut. Block heels signal pragmatism and a modernity, good for strolls. The industry’s focus on comfort lifts block heels up, but stilettos adapt with comfort tech, keeping up. Neither gets left behind, they fit different sides of life.

 

 

The Verdict

So, are stilettos and block heels enemies? No, they just mirror what you’re looking for… One grabs the spotlight with finesse, the other holds the street with ease. From Soho’s mess to Kensington’s quiet, choose what fits your stride. Let the heels do the talking.

 

 

 

When to Choose Stilettos vs Block Heels

For the Afterparty
Choose stilettos with sculptural heels or metallic finishes for maximum drama. Think Louboutin’s spiked slingbacks or satin Manolos—perfect for lighting up a dark corner in Soho.

For the Long Haul
Block heels in high-shine patent or textured leather pair beautifully with sharp tailoring or midi skirts. Ideal for fashion week queues or a full day gallery hop in East London.

For Transitional Dressing
Pair a square-toe block heel mule with wide-leg trousers and a crisp white shirt for a work-to-dinner outfit that doesn’t cave under pressure—or pavements.

For High Impact Minimalism
A classic pointed-toe stiletto in nude or black cuts through loud prints and oversized silhouettes, balancing proportions with that fine line of elevation.

For Practical Edge
Chunky block heels with lug soles or embellishment toughen up ultra-feminine dresses. A smart offset for those leaning into soft silhouettes but needing traction.

Trendy Crossbody Bags for Women Clutched UK

Designed for Movement, Styled for Impact – These Crossbody Bags Do Both

by Clutched.

Crossbody Bag It Up!

June in London feels perennially overcast until the sun breaks through and Southwark Street in Bermondsey glints like a new penny. Crossbody bags have become as central to city life on the move. In Shoreditch, they swing against vintage denim on market mornings; in Mayfair, they tuck neatly under tailored blazers on lunch breaks. By the time you reach a Camden evening gig, the same bag is right there with you.

With smartphone-driven days and schedules that demand two-minute meetings hops, the crossbody offers exactly what its name suggests, an uninterrupted shoulder line and freedom to carry only what matters. They range from miniatures that rest close to the body to slighter satchels. Across London’s varied neighbourhoods—brick-lined Borough Market stalls, glass-fronted galleries in Hoxton, late-night bars in Peckham, these bags function flawlessly. And they do so with an unmistakable designer signature, whether it’s a distinctive clasp, an unconventional shape or a tonal leather that deepens with wear.

Quick Tips for Sale Season

  • Prioritise bags you can wear year-round – black leather, neutral satins, and well-crafted clutches.
  • Don’t overthink it. If your heart races, add to basket.

End scene. Bag secured.

Loewe Puzzle Bag 10 Year Anniversary Clutched UK

A Decade of Distinction – Celebrating 10 Years of Loewe’s Puzzle Bag Phenomenon

by Clutched.

 

The Puzzle Bag Legacy Continues

Ten years ago, Jonathan Anderson unveiled a bag that would go on to redefine modern luxury. Not through monogram maximalism or archival revivalism, but with a quietly radical piece of leather folded into something entirely new. The Puzzle bag arrived in 2014 and turned out to be just that—a puzzle, in the best sense, architectural, enigmatic, and sharply intelligent.

It was Loewe’s first handbag under Anderson, and perhaps the clearest declaration of his design philosophy. Cut from over 40 pieces of precisely engineered leather and constructed in cuboid formation, the Puzzle is as much a study in geometry as it is an accessory. It folds flat, travels light, and carries with ease. And in a decade that’s seen the rise and fall of countless It bags, the Puzzle has only sharpened its shape.

To mark its 10-year anniversary, Loewe has expanded the Puzzle family into an entire architectural alphabet—totes, minis, nanos and Edge bags, all rooted in the same DNA of spliced perfection. What follows is a curated edit to show just how well the Puzzle has aged, and how much sharper it’s become.

The Puzzle’s legacy lies not in trend-hopping or reinvention but in perfecting a singular idea. A bag designed around angles and executed with artisan-level precision. It’s a piece that refuses to shout, yet somehow commands attention, an embodiment of Loewe’s forward-facing craft. And ten years on, the Puzzle is sharper than ever.

 

 

 

How to Wear the Loewe Puzzle in 2025

Whether you’re investing in your first Puzzle or adding to a well-loved collection, styling this cult classic in 2025 is about striking a balance. Here’s how to wear it now.

  • The Mini Puzzle with Tailored Layers
    The mini or small sizes work brilliantly with oversized trench coats, sleek tailoring, and sharp sunglasses. Sling it crossbody or hold it by the top handle.
  • The Puzzle Fold Tote with Quiet-Luxury Basics
    Pair the slouchy Fold iteration with wide-leg trousers, a crisp cotton shirt, and buttery flats. It’s the ultimate elevated-daywear formula.
  • The Puzzle Confetti for Statement Dressing
    With its thousands of sequins and bold design, the Confetti edition begs to be worn with confidence. Try it with a minimal evening dress or monochrome co-ord to let the bag do the talking.
  • Puzzle in Pastel or White for Summer Monochrome
    Loewe’s seasonal pastel tones and optic white versions are made for tonal dressing. Pair them with fluid linens, sand-coloured tailoring, or all-white knits for a summer look that feels intentional, not obvious.
  • Mix Textures, Not Trends
    Let the Puzzle’s rich leather and unique panels take centre stage by contrasting with chunky wool, silk skirts, raw denim or crisp nylon. The result? Styling that feels layered, luxurious, and distinctly modern.

 

 

Available in select locations, the Puzzle 10 Anniversary Collection.

Mini Handbag Icons for Women Clutched UK

The Mini Icon Edit – These It-Bags of 2025 Are Anything But Modest

by Clutched.

Mini bags are a cultural phenomenon, propelled by the bright lights of celebrity influence. K-pop sensation Juyeon from THE BOYZ turned heads with Balenciaga’s Le City Bag, a campaign that sent ripples through fashion circles, igniting a frenzy among fans and style mavens alike. Meanwhile, Givenchy’s Antigona minis have long been a red carpet staple, a favourite among Hollywood’s elite. The double bag trend, pairing a mini with a larger tote has been spotted on runways from Valentino to Louis Vuitton.

What makes a mini bag irresistible? It’s the perfect alchemy of style, convenience, and conscience. These compact bags burst with personality (think crystals, woven raffia, geometric leather designs) and are feather-light. Many are crafted with sustainable materials, making them a choice for the eco-conscious. From a Mayfair dinner to a casual coffee run, mini bags are perfect if you travel light.

Styling Mini Bags: How to Wear This Year’s Most Compact Icons

A mini bag might not carry your entire life — but it will carry your look. Here’s how to style these scaled-down power players for 2025:

  • Double Up: Embrace the double-bag trend seen at Valentino and Louis Vuitton by pairing a structured mini with a slouchy oversized tote. Keep the colours complementary, or go bold with clashing textures.
  • Evening Edge: Crystal embellishments and glossy leathers make the mini bag an easy swap for a clutch. Style with sleek tailoring, a slip dress or sharp heels for maximum night-time drama.
  • Weekend Ease: Raffia, canvas, and creamy calfskins work beautifully with denim, shirting, and slides. Use the mini to anchor a laid-back look with just enough polish.
  • Pop of Colour: Let a pink or white mini bag be the focal point of your outfit. Monochrome dressing — black, beige or white — gives these pops room to shine.
  • Don’t Overthink It: A mini bag is about ease. Toss in your keys, cardholder, lip gloss, and go. Style with nonchalance — the bag will do the talking.

Pretty Pink Handbags Clutched UK

Pretty in Pink – 20 Must-Have Designer Pink Handbags for 2025

by Clutched.

Trending Pink Handbag Styles

Pink has never been a passive colour. It carries history, meaning, and undeniable presence. Once boxed into notions of femininity, it has evolved into a shade of confidence, rebellion, and style. In colour psychology, pink is linked to warmth, charm, and optimism, while in fashion, it defies categorisation, seen equally in soft romantic palettes and striking, cutting-edge styles. From ballet-slipper hues to electric magenta, pink adapts, and handbags in this shade are no exception.

This season, pink takes centre stage with designs ranging from small leather clutches to spacious shoulder bags. These 20 designer handbags are set to redefine the colour’s role in fashion for 2025. Perhaps one of these will be the right pink handbag for you.

 

 

 

Pink Clutches and Mini Bags to Own the Night

Eveningwear thrives on subtlety and impact, and a pink clutch or mini bag can offer both! Whether shimmering under candlelight or standing out in a sea of neutrals. Pink’s role in night-time dressing is about transformation. A high-gloss finish reflects the glow of street lamps, a soft pastel enhances monochrome outfits, and a bold bag creates contrast against a soft, flowing dress. These pink handbags will transform your evening look, infusing it with personality.

Pink Shoulder Bags and Totes Paint the Daytime

A handbag shifts the tone of an entire outfit. A pink shoulder bag or tote introduces warmth to sharp tailoring, breaks up monochrome layers, and turns the mundane into something distinctly stylish. In daily wear, pink provides contrast to the expected. Whether in the soft glow of dawn on the way to work or in the mid-afternoon frenzy of a café, these pink handbags provide a counterpoint to the routine, enhancing the simplest looks with their unmistakable presence.

The Power of Pink in Fashion

The right pink handbag commands attention. In a landscape saturated with black and beige, pink is an intentional divergence. Whether it’s the confidence you get from Gucci’s Jackie or the relaxed artistry of Chloé’s raffia tote, pink finds a way to fit in. It shifts with purpose, from pale and whisper-soft when the mood calls for restraint to vivid and saturated when the moment demands presence. A pink bag is the right accessory to complete your outfit. Explore, choose, and wear them with conviction.

 

Why are white handbags a wardrobe must-have.

 

 

A Guide to Choosing and Styling Your Pink Handbag in 2025

A pink handbag adds a bold touch to any outfit. Here’s how to pick and style yours with confidence.
1. Pick the Right Style for You
  • Evening Elegance: Choose a chic clutch like the Bottega Veneta Andiamo Intrecciato Rose Leather Clutch (£2,150) for nights out.
  • Daily Wear: Opt for a practical shoulder bag, such as the Gucci Small Jackie Patent Blush Leather Shoulder Bag (£2,850), to elevate your everyday look.
  • Budget-Friendly: Try the Vivienne Westwood Orb Faux Pink Leather Wallet on Chain (£290) for style without the splurge.
2. Style with Flair
  • With Neutrals: Pair a pink bag like the Mulberry Small Darley Blossom Pink Shoulder Bag (£645) with white or black for a striking contrast.
  • Bold Pairings: Match the Coach Tabby 20 Fuchsia Leather Shoulder Bag (£375) with a red dress for a vibrant look.
  • All-Pink: Style the Chloé Summer Banana Crochet Tote (£890) with a pastel pink coat for a trendy monochrome outfit.
3. Care for Your Bag
  • Protect It: Use a leather protector spray on bags like the Dolce & Gabbana Marlene Blush Leather Shoulder Bag (£1,800) to keep the colour vibrant.
  • Store Safely: Keep it in a dust bag to avoid scratches, especially for glossy finishes like the Prada Micro Saffiano Galleria Pink Leather Top Handle Bag (£2,600).
