There’s A Clutch On This List For Every Style Preference And Budget

Our Top 10 Lists help shoppers quickly and easily find what they need. Using an intense review and approval process (which you can learn more about here), we break down the best styles according to what consumers most commonly search for and want.

A simple clutch is one of the most underrated handbags. While it could never take the place of a purse, the compact silhouette is a fashionable way to downsize from overstuffed totes and satchels. Just like handbags, clutches offer convenient pockets, roomy interiors, and optional shoulder chains to make pulling together any look effortless. So whether you need something small and sleek to wear to a wedding or a reliable pouch for everyday use, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, we've rounded up an algorithm-approved list of the best clutches on the market for every style, occasion, and budget.

Our Method For Finding The Best Clutches

To find the best clutches out there, we used our data-driven algorithm that factors in data from reviews, best-seller lists, editor recommendations, and more. From nights out with the girls to formal gatherings, keep scrolling for the cutest clutches to sport for keeping your essentials within arm's reach.
