Clutch Purse
Monday, August 3rd, 2009One of the main accessory of a women is her bag. Bags with different styles and fabrics come and go in every season. They come in a variety of styles: shoulder bags, couriers, hoboes, buckets, saddlebags and backpacks. However, these are large bags styled for daily use, and can hold a number of items. If you just want a purse to enhance your attire and not to accommodate your stuff, clutches are the way to go.
A clutch purse is typically a small purse intended to be carried or “clutched” by you. Some have a removable chain or a strap that you can even sling them across your shoulder.
The clutch purse has been popular ever since the 1800’s, when women carried reticules which resemble the clutch purse. However, the clutch purse went out of trend at the start of the 19th century, but came back to life and became popular during World War II. The smaller clutch needed less fabric for its production and fitted in well during the time of the war.
The clutch purse has continued to be popular as an evening bag, even though with the contemporary routine of women require her to carry her a number of assorted necessities. However, it is not a regular purse for every day utilization.
Nowadays, clutches are available in every possible shape, design and colour. They come in petite square boxes, triangles or even heart-shapes, covered with satin, beads or brocade. They are decorated with tassels, loops, diamonds, sequences and other whimsical things. They are accessible at every shop in town, whether it’s on the roadside stalls or at the luxurious malls.
Similarly, the price range of clutches vary depending on the place you buy it from and the design. A woman can treat her desire for an lavish looking, fashion accessory by buying herself the perfect clutch.
Apparel Industry in India often largely depends on the textile industry as the ethnic strata for fashion is covered here. Despite the growing market, there is not enough marketing or financial assistance to back this industry. The rich craft of India is often popular in its primary market and yet the marketing is not strongly felt in other centers. The thriving centers are located in Ludhiana, Tamil Nadu and other cities.
