Save, Steal Or Splurge – A Classic Black Clutch

Cathy Donohue

Although it’s easy to make a habit of shopping based on ‘what’s in’, this isn’t always a good idea.

Buying according to trends can incur debts pretty quickly and just because a piece is fashion forward doesn’t mean it will suit all body shapes.

Investment pieces in contrast, actually stand the test of time.

Each week we aim to introduce a new piece for your wardrobe and provide three options from where to buy, catering for all budgets.

Save – €13 at Dorothy Perkins

This is a serious bargain for an accessory that will be used time and time again. Clutches are fantastic as they add a polished touch to any ensemble. Whether you team this with a simple vest and jeans, use it to finish off your Friday night look, or team it with evening wear, you will most certainly find multiple uses for it.

Steal – €60 at River Island

This clutch looks luxurious yet it’s still affordable. For a high fashion look at a reasonable price, you won’t find better than this one. We love it and the size is bigger than a regular clutch so you can fit all your essential items with comfort. Yay.
