Save, Spend, Splurge: Holiday Party Clutches

My calendar has said December for a full week now, which means that there’s no more hiding – holiday parties are upon us. For some of you, they might have already started, but the truly glitzy stuff usually occurs closer to Christmas and New Year’s. Luckily for you, that means there’s still time to find the perfect little bag to carry to those parties if you don’t already have something appropriate in your closet.

Often, I find that a good party clutch is something to which women don’t treat themselves because they see it as impractical. Not every sparkly little evening bag has to break the bank, though, which is why we’ve chosen the product category for our latest edition of Save, Spend, Splurge.

Save

Stingray-embossed leather gives this bag a little bit of glimmer without going for a full-on sparkle. ASOS Faux Stingray Clutch, $118 via ASOS.

Spend

For those who want gobs of seasonal glitter without sacrificing quality, this sparkly clutch is all leather underneath. Anya Hindmarch Valerie Glitter Finish Leather Clutch, $595 via Net-a-Porter.

Of course, when it comes to a sparkly evening bag, the ultimate will always be Judith Leiber. Judith Leiber Houston Pave Deco Clutch, $4995 via Neiman Marcus.
