The Rise of Oversized Clutch Bags: A Trend Reversal in Handheld Fashion

In 2023, both hands were light thanks to the clothes with pockets, but in 2024, the bag seems to make my hands cumbersome. The clutch bag in the hands of the models on the 2023 F/W runway is proof of that.

Already on the 2023 S/S runway Clutch bag in size XXLThis stage surprised me. At the time Big Bag returnsI thought that the clutch bag had gotten bigger because of the trend, but when I saw a model walking around holding a shoulder bag instead of carrying it, I had the intuition that carrying it like a clutch bag itself was a trend.

When you hear the word clutch, you might think of a very small and impractical shape. The clutch Kim Hye-soo unveiled at the Baeksang Arts Awards was also very small, only holding a few plum-flavored candies. Should I say I’m happy? The clutch bag trending in 2024 was a new style that was available in oversized sizes.

Famous models from Jaya Wade, Emma Corinne and Mia Goss carried flexible pouches with Miu Miu keys. The pouch is easy to take out at any time, considering the lifestyle of modern people, and is large enough to hold all your belongings. Of course, if you put a lot of stuff in a pouch like this, you’re going to have a hard time.

At Maximilian Davis’s Ferragamo show, it was a leather bag without a strap. The bag, which was held by the side to prevent it from falling, was made of shiny, glossy material and was available in a variety of colors, including black, bright yellow, optical white, navy blue, and the house’s signature red.

Not to mention Bottega Veneta. In 2023 F/W, a unique double bag styling was introduced by layering bags with completely different characteristics. What caught my eye that day was the mustard-colored envelope-shaped clutch bag that I heard along with the brown crocodile embossed bag. It must have been a scene that reminded us that in addition to the shape of Miu Miu, who wrinkles a thick bag, there is also a market for slim-style clutches.

Connor Ives and Gabriela Hearst also prefer box bags. Conor Ives gave a box bag with the same print style as the shoes, and Gabriela Hearst gave a point with a metallic box bag that becomes a point for knitwear. It’s the right size for those who say their cell phone, lipstick, and mirror are all they need.

Fendi’s move is also noticeable. In 2023 F/W, clutch bags were introduced that were large enough to hold belongings, but couture caught the eye by sending all models a very small clutch bag that could be seen at an awards ceremony. Whether it was to show details, the direction of holding the clutch bag in front of the chest was definitely impressive.

Clutch bags are on the rise among celebrities. Already last April, Rihanna wore a red clutch from Gucci, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Alaïa and The Row clutch was a big hit. How about Kendall Jenner? She was spotted carrying a diamond-framed Jimmy Choo bag like a clutch, recreating the styling seen on the runway.

As I said before, it doesn’t have to be a clutch bag. The shoulder bag made of soft, wrinkle-resistant leather can be grabbed by the handle like a clutch. You can hold the tote bag as if hugging the bottom of the bag and attach it to the side to prevent it from falling. Your hands and armpits will suffer, you know? The point is that it is cool to listen with a relaxed and indifferent feeling! Take one and go!
