  • How to style your outfit with a clutch bag?

    Mimi & Thomas Black Snakeskin Embossed Clutch
    • Choose a clutch that will match with your shoes and contrast with your dress. If you are wearing a light coloured dress, pick a deep coloured clutch and shoes and vice versa.

     

    • To complement your multi coloured dress, pick one colour from your multi coloured print and accessorize with that chosen color.

     

    • Colour block- A clutch bag is a fantastic way to bring your entire look togeher. It is all about stylish and simplicity. Try with 2 colours: Bold and Neutral (black, silver, beige, nude, white, taupe) 

     

    • Some like it understated elegance, some like it blingy and sparkly. I'd say go with your mood and the occasion.

     

    • Look for details like metal edging or a gem fastening for instant luxe.

     

    • Try something new. Tassles, metallics, exotic animal embossed textures, luxe smooth satin, jewels embellishments, beads, citrus pop, pastel colours, watercolour prints, glitter and crystals and so on. Have fun styling!

     

    • Be realistic. If you carry everything but the kitchen sink, buy a larger style like envelope clutch bag. If you travel light, try a petite box clutch.

     

    • Remember clutches are meant for special occassions like formal events, parties and dinners. Never stuff your clutches and make them bulgy and heavy.

     

    • Finally, as Annie said, You're never fully dressed without a smile!

     Mimi & Thomas White Pleated Satin Vintage Oval Clutch

    • Store your clutch bag in a dust bag to keep it in good condition for longer.

     

    • Avoid hand lotion when using a satin clutch- the oils stain the fabric.

     

    • Avoid leaving your clutch laying on grass, flooring, or even on a table where wine or food can easily spill or splash on it.

     

    • Polish the metal frame on the bag with wool in small circular motion then wipe it with dampened cloth to give maximum shine.

     

    • Gently brush the dirt away from glass beads, sequins embellishments with a soft bristled toothbrush.

     

    • To remove stain on fabric, add a few drops of white wine vingar to a clean dampened sponge, dab on the area and rub it gently to remove the stain.

     

    • Allow time for it to air dry day before the event.
