A cute black clutch bag is one of the most well loved items in any girls' wardrobe as they go with just about any outfit from full on glamorous gowns to jeans.
Although the party season usually calls for sparkly handbags, it can be expensive to invest in a different statement handbag for every night out which is why the little black clutch is the perfect choice.
This week it was the British Fashion Awards in London and the majority of the glamorous girls there all chose a black clutch bag to complement their outfits.
Anouk Clutch
The show's host Claudia Winkleman went for a charcoal coloured clutch bag with just a hint of sparkle while models Daisy Lowe, Claudia Schiffer and Kelly Brook chose vintage inspired black clutch bags.
Even our favourite style icon Alexa Chung chose a little black clutch to complement her monochrome ensemble for the event.

There is definitely a trend for vintage inspired handbags which feature classic designs and contrasting metalwork this party season and the Anouk Gia Rosa Clutch in Slate Snake and Buffalo Leather captures this look with the 1950s inspired shape and chunky fastening.
Laguna Deauville Clutch
Snakeskin clutches have been the choice of many a starlet this season and this type of handbag makes a great investment as snakeskin has a timeless look and will last for years.
If snakeskin is a bit out of your price range then invest in some affordable luxury with the Laguna London Deauville Clutch in Black Leather which mixes a classic clutch shape with a patent panel made from funky fish skin.
This bag is ideal for a relaxed night out for drinks with the girls as it's very trendy and the perfect size for your keys, phone, cash and makeup.
Anouk Rita's Clutch
Modern style clutch bags have also been seen in the palms of Hollywood's elite this season including Demi Moore, Emma Watson and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Try the look out for yourself with the unusual but highly wearable Anouk Rita's Clutch in Slate Leather which is perfect if you're looking to add some edginess to your outfit.
Clutch size bags are certainly suitable for daywear but to make them easier to carry choose one with a shoulder strap such as the Ash Camy Cross Body in Carved Black Leather.
This cute little clutch is roomy enough to carry all your essentials and the carved leather and silver metalwork give it a unique touch which makes it versatile enough to use in the evening too.
