Trend: Oversized Clutches
Pucci
British 'It' boy Matthew Williamson, who is the new in-house designer for Pucci, loves to play around with bright colors and fun prints. For spring, models strutted down the runway with one playful bag after another. Our pick? This sunburst decorative clutch that pays homage to the traditional Pucci print.AFP, Getty Images
Marc Jacobs

Celine
It's nearly as big as the models! At the Celine show in Paris, the models played around backstage with the designer's huge, teal patent bag.IMAXTREE.com
Louis Vuitton
Marc Jacobs, who is the also creative director for Vuitton, loves to collaborate with artists on the French fashion house's logo bags. Remember those cartoon monogrammed bags by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami? This time, Jacobs partnered with Richard Prince who is best known for his use of pulp American imagery in his art. The result? A quirky collection of conversation-starting bags, including this comic strip clutch.AFP, Getty Images
Miss Sixty
It's no surprise that a rock and roll brand like Miss Sixty chose a woven metallic envelope as their clutch of choice.IMAXTREE.com
Fendi

Kenzo
For evenings out, a slim, long clutch is the best way to top off your look. One in a vivid color, like this Kenzo shiny purple bag, will guarantee you --and your bag-- will get attention.IMAXTREE.com
Malo
It matches her eyeliner! A model backstage at Malo shows us that color coordinating is big this season with this woven navy Malo clutch. Instead of matching your bag to your shoes - try matching it to your make-up!IMAXTREE.com
Burberry Prorsum
The Burberry girl is still classic but with a little rock and roll added in this season. Designer Christopher Bailey, Burberry's Creative Director, amps up the London-based house of plaid's bag line with Goth-style studs, layered chain bracelets, and zippers like this python pouch with an equestrian knight emblem.IMAXTREE.com
Diane von Furstenberg
If a bright bag just isn't your style, definitely go for neutral this season. DVF made the perfect-to-go-with-everything whip-stitched convertible clutch. Wear it long as a tote for work, then fold it over for cocktails after.IMAXTREE.com

Sorry, I'm not carrying a clutch, no matter how fashionable it is. I need my purse on a strap, or, shudder, yes, a fanny pack. I drop things a lot, partly due to arthritis. Plus it's easier for a thief to grab this out of your hand than a shoulder strap purse which itself is easier than taking one from around your waist!

I bet she could really knock someone out with the big blue one.
Let's see, add a few bricks...
Don't forget the mace and the taser gun...
Why not?
Let's add a few hundred bucks to pay for something else to put in it...

These are ugly as sin, especially that Burberry clutch, it looks like a metallic fannypack. And I assume it costs something like $1500 bucks. If I am going to spend that much, it should be better looking than that!
