We've found 10 of the best clutch bags on the high street, from eye-catching sparkling affairs to chic all-black numbers. Metallic box clutches with textured detail are a failsafe for those on the hunt for a wedding guest accessory, while bright colour pop clutch bags work wonders to boost a workwear outfit.
