10 small evening clutches to carry for your next big event

Sun’s up, cases are down, social events both spontaneous and seasonal are (finally!) cropping up on our calendars. Now comes the fun part: Which trusty sidekick should you entrust to bring along to them?

The solution doesn’t have to be big and dowdy. Ahead, we make the case for clutches – hitting the sweet spot between stylish and spacious.
