Oversized leather pouches (courtesy of American Apparel) are extremely popular this season. However, I’ve always been a fan of oversized clutch bags, in general…thanks to Tracee Ellis Ross’s amazing personal style (see what I mean) and her role as the now-iconic Joan Clayton on the TV series Girlfriends.
An extra large clutch makes a bold statement and exudes a chic style that no other handbag design can. Give me a handheld bag that’s 11+ inches long and I’m a happy camper!
Vintage and thrift stores are the best places to score them. But, many shoppers don’t have the time nor patience to dig through the merchandise. And if you try to find new ones, you’ll learn it’s a fairly daunting task.
So, I did the legwork (or shall I say fingerwork, since it was all online) and found SIX amazing oversized clutch bags for under $100.
1. American Apparel Medium Leather Carry-all Pouch – $50
2. ASOS “Shelley” Clutch – $50
3. ASOS Weave Metal Tip Clutch – $52
4. ASOS Portfolio Clutch (in Red) – $94
5. bungalola Oversized Nautical Clutch – $22
6. myafternoontea Oversized Envelope Clutch – $65
Are you a fan of these larger-than-life clutch bags? Let me know which one is your favorite.
Love these! Also, Taylor from Curly in the City has an etsy shop and makes her own versions of the American Apparel bag, which she sells for a bit less than they do.
I had been eyeing the American Apparel pouch…!
Love the bungalola!! Ofcourse…it's stripes!
Love all of them, especially that striped one! You must have read my mind, I have been looking for an oversized clutch for fall. But I think I want snakeskin…
I absolutely ADORE the stripped one!
Loving #2 and #6….
I love #1 YAYAYAYAY
Yes Joan turned me on to the oversize clutch also! I now carry clutches on the weekend, keeps your focus on essentials
My fav: Oversized Nautical Clutch.
#6 myafternoontea clutch is to DIE FOR! LOVE!
I am a fan of larger than life oversized clutch purses! I just wish I could find them more often; generally when I do spot one—MINE!!! I definitely need to get my hands on that ASOS clutch. That nautical clutch speaks to me as well.
Thanks for the comments, everyone! I love how you all have your own favorite. Personal style rocks!
Hi! We met downtown for the refinery29 blogger meetup! Just wanted to stop by your blog, and it looks great! And my favorite clutch is definitely number six.
It was nice to meet you, and to see you on the refinery29 website looking fabulous.
