Lizzo’s XS Maison Valentino bag took the 2019 American Music Awards red carpet and Internet by storm. But image carrying that to the next wedding or Diwali party you attend. Or any party, really! TBH, all it could hold was my patience! We don’t need that for the party! What we need is a stunning clutch that adds oomph to the festive outfit AND holds more than just a lipstick and some tissues. So here’s a list of LBB’s top picks of handbag brands with festive clutches that are big enough to carry it all!
Brands With Clutches That Actually Fit Half Your Dresser + Phone + Keys + Wallet
Odette
Odette is all about embracing fluidity, breaking fashion conventions, and creating modern yet timeless pieces. And their clutches do make you feel like they do. This Gold Embellished Clutch is glamour in a bag. We like that the clutch has a non-detachable strap with golden colour flower embroidery all over. It’s boujee, it’s festive but most importantly, it’s roomy to accommodate all your must-haves.

A delightful assortment of artsy designs, novel concepts and meticulous details, each clutch by Artklim's a sure shot stunner. This Mughal Mural Printed Suitcase Style Clutch in red is what will level up your festive outfit. It has a premium matt finish in satin with a pretty digital print. We love the brown suede around the edges and golden clasp. Not only will it hold your phone, but also a small makeup palette, keys and lighter all while looking fabulous!

5 Elements by Radhika Gupta
LBB Crew Aakanksha has this brand locked in. “How have folks in most bag-making companies not realised that mobile phones have become much bigger than before! Bad enough women's jeans don't fit things, and now bags too? Boo. But luckily, I found a few bags from 5 Elements by Radhika Gupta which can fit a lot. Obviously, it's a clutch bag, so you can't take it trekking, but this one fits a phone, house and car keys, lipstick, mascara and kajal, the valet card, money and card clip, and a scrunchie. It's black with gold and grey glints too, so it's rather versatile. While I usually pair it with a dress, since it's glossy, it's great for Indian wear too.”
Dimensions: 23 x 18 x 8 cm
Price: INR 5,900
Assortia
As the name suggests, Assortia is all about variety. They've got an assortment of clutches, sling bags, totes, utility pouches, potlis and more for every occasion and personality.

It’s long and big enough to fit a lot of stuff no matter where you are heading.

The Purple Sack
If you like your bag with offbeat colours, designs and patterns, then The Purple Sack is here for you. While they have a bunch of fashion accessories, it's their bags which are the show's topper. The Delicate Floral Embroidered Maroon Clutch gets a chef’s kiss from me. It’s made of raw silk fabric and has a magnetic button closure that is oh-so-easy to use. Pack this vibrant clutch with all you think you need to enjoy a fuss-free festive season.
