Handmade clutches: the light and the dark
There are still many days for Christmas shopping, and if you still have a girl on your list, check out these clutches. Aesthetically, these two shops offer bold prints and brocade fabrics. However, visually they are both quite different in their presentation. Both are handmade with care! The first shop is AnOrangeBlossomBag by Michelle. Take a look at her clutches as well as her bags and totes. Look for my favorite tote with the vintage inspired newspaper print of Paris.

How did I neglect to include this Parisian clutch?
Getting a little darker, but no less exquisite, are clutches beautifully handcrafted by Susan at Lulu Caswell Designs. I love her clutches and the way they are captured on camera.

Your Clutch handbag collection in Reds and Greys
Who wouldn’t want this collection of beautiful clutches? Well, to get it, you’d have to shop at all five stores from these great women! Click on the photos to go directly to their shops.
This first clutch is made by Malaika over at HMDDesigns. Just like Jenn, Malaika has a new opportunity that is a blessing for her and her family. After home-schooling her kids for 8 years, Malaika has found a new career that gives her and her family much-needed healthcare benefits! I am very excited for Malaika in her new job, but I will miss her designs. In addition to making clutches, Malaika’s shop also has these brilliant mustache wallets. Just in time for Movember!
This second clutch is handmade by Nancy at NancyEllenStudios. Nancy and her sewing machine can crank out some amazing and varied arts and crafts. Check out her other clutches and bags, but also browse for the snowman soft cuddly toy! Really good work!
Another well done handmade clutch is the gray chevron clutch made by Sarah at BobLovesEleanor. Sarah has lots of other cluches, bags, and totes. Check out her bright Spring Street reversible Bin Bucket!
How cute is this Eiffel tower clutch in white and dark shades of gray? I love its roominess. Made by Stacey at BagsByStacey, there are also many other clutches, bags, and wristlets for your Christmas list.
Speaking of Eiffel Tower, a place that my daughter has wanted to go since she was three years old, here’s another clutch featuring it. For you Francophiles, this is a perfect holiday gift! It’s made by Mona at Mona’s Box & Bags. She also has some chevron makeup clutches and lots of other bags at her shop. Mona will have a sale from Nov. 23 – 30th for 20% OFF. Use the code BLACKFRIDAY2012 at her shop.

The French Vacation clutch featuring the Eiffel Tower. No need to spend a bundle when you can have this!
I will be curating and promoting some more clutches, shops and the amazing women who make these by hand. No robots are used in the production of them ;). I hope you will peruse these shops and find that perfect gift for some lucky person on our list!
