How To Carry a Clutch Bag

        How To Carry a Clutch Bag

How to carry a clutch bag.  You may think that this is a topic that should not even be addressed.  I mean, really, do women need to be educated on how to carry a clutch bag?  A woman, the  one species on this planet who has natural accessorizing instincts needs to be told how to carry a clutch bag?   Well, myself and my team at Clutch NY thought about this.  We realized that you do not see clutch bags on the streets or  in women’s hands as much as you see other styles of handbags and purses.  Why is this?  We think it is because women need some coaching on how to handle a clutch bag.

Two handbags are better than one, or so they say.  And who says this?  Well, we do, your professional handbag team at Clutch NY.  We have been taking careful notes on what we see trending on the streets and subways in New York City, and what we see is a woman in defiant demand of two handbags a day.

Clutch Bags Fall Out

It's getting cold outside!

It’s getting cold outside on the Battery near 1 World Trade

 

As a native New Yorker, I have experienced my fair share of seasons in this fantastic city of ours.  Admittedly,  I do resist change, especially when out of nowhere, the blistering heat is over ridden by insufferably gelid conditions.  However, the game changer for this temperature change are  the  many  activities that are available in the city during the seasons where I don’t necessarily want to be out and about!  Although it is becoming colder, that never stops a true New Yorker from seeking an adventure. I also find that being a  New Yorker comes with its share of  responsibilities, one of which is to show those living in small towns that there is more to do in our city during the cold season than just going to the movies.  Not to worry my fellow homebodies, I’ve got just the activities that will get you outside; even when it feels like it is too cold for comfort.

Clutch Bags NY Loves Mom

 

Mother's Day

Mother’s Day

May 12, 2013

Today is that special day when we celebrate moms across the country.  It is a day to remember how much our moms have sacrificed their lives for ours.  It is a day to be reminded of how much energy moms have put into raising little babies into children, children into teenagers, teenagers into young adults and young adults into big people.  Every step of the way our moms will always be our moms.  They will forever be the dear people we hold close to our hearts, as our life began with their hearts beating close to ours.  We love our moms for all they have done, how they have been there to support us and cheer us on, to listen to our worries, our concerns, our tears, our dreams.  Our moms have been there to hug us when we are down, to tell us that we will rise up again, to cheer us on when we are low.  They are our biggest fans when we reach our goals, their happiness beaming through their souls.  Throughout our lives, whenever they see us, their smiles light up their faces, speaking stories of their everlasting love, the life of a novel they have shared with us.

To all moms everywhere, not just today, but everyday, we love you and appreciate you for the beautiful life you have given us.

 

Happy Mother’s Day from Clutch Bags NY!

 

 

 

 

 

Clutch Bags Review: The Coin Bag

Good Morning New York City!

Good Morning New York City!

Ever had those days when you’re forced to wake up insanely early, before the sun has even risen? Maybe you have an early class?  Or a badly scheduled meeting. Whatever it is, you curse the reason as you drag yourself out of your sweet slumber to get ready for the day.

In the morning hours leading up to whatever has made you wake up so early, coffee has never tasted so strong and the sun has never shone as obnoxiously bright. As you stumble out of your apartment, squinting at the morning’s brightness, you see one of them trot passed you. A morning walker.

“Good morning!” She says, smiling. You attempt to muster up a kind greeting but all you can do is smile bumpily and grunt.

What the heck is she doing up so early? Why is she so happy? And I want her legs. I don’t know about you, but these are my usual thoughts during groggy, morning interactions with walkers. Well, at least these were my thoughts three weeks ago.  Continue reading

Clutch Bags says “Diamonds Aren’t a Girl’s Only Friend”

y1 You know how they say “Dog is man’s best friend”? Well, a woman’s best friend is her accessories. Women turn to accessories for the same reason they turn to their gal pals: for comfort. No matter how good you’re told you look in that little black dress, you won’t feel it until the dress is complimented with some elegant earrings, a nifty necklace, or a handsome handbag. You know, some type of accessory that really pulls the look together. That makes you feel a little more comfortable in going out in that formfitting dress.

If you’re lucky, you have a lot of accessories and the luxury of being picky about which “bestie” to go to for reassurance. However, if you’re like me–always trying to figure out which accessories in your closet are the right ones at the moment to work with your look– remember, there is always room to beef up your network of handbags and jewelry.  My advice to you is to invest in a few great accessories that will work throughout the day for you.

What I consider to be my closest friend in my closet is the Clutch black suede lingerie bag. It never lets me down! This Clutch bag is deep, practical, and I can take it anywhere: Continue reading

Forgive me but I love Fur in Winter

I love fur in the winter

As I was walking across town this afternoon, with the wind at my face, the sun setting and the temperature plummeting down, all I could do to stay warm was to dig deep in my pockets and be thankful I had my vintage mink fur hat and trimmed coat.  I do feel thankful we’re not Continue reading

Wow!  How Urban New York is this image of a gorgeous Alvin Ailey  dancer twirling with the white leather shoulder bag from Clutch Bags?

When I asked Demetrius Fordham if he wanted to shoot his choice of a bag from the Clutch Bags Collection, he knew exactly  how he was going to approach it. I have to admit as well, I know D’s style of photography, so I could almost picture this image in my head before he captured it. Demetrius is a photographer with vision, perseverence and talent.
