The envelope, please!

The clutch proves indispensable on the spring runways... But there's no need to wait to tote one of these fabulous envelopes, as they are seasonless! Moreover, the envelope clutch is versatile; tuck one into your day tote as a chic makeup bag, then stock it with all your evening essentials for a night on the town! The styles and sizes run the gamut from petite and patterned, like the turquoise-tasseled Matthew Williamson bag pictured at right, to oversize and unadorned, like the 3.1 Phillip Lim envelope at left... a sophisticated alternative to the briefcase, gentlemen!

Peter Jensen's chic single-stripe clutch is a preppy essential!
