As an aspiring fashion writer in my teens, I remember thinking of women holding clutch bags as the pinnacle of chicness. Tucked under one’s arm, maybe with a coat hanging off one’s shoulders, probably holding a glass of prosecco… To me, there was nothing cooler. I pictured myself embodying the likes of Carrie Bradshaw when I would tuck one under my arm for a school party. Now, here I am a decade later, and they’ve come back, and I’m going to make the most of it.
