Louisa Lytton knows the importance of a big clutch bag

Overside, chunky clutches were all over the catwalks in Milan with models at Moschino, Burberry and Missoni all carrying them down the catwalks.

A big clutch is the perfect night time bag, looking good and still holding a bit more than some change and a lip gloss, you could probably fit an umbrella in some of them. You could also carry them with you in the day to add a bit more style to your work look.

Here are our pick of the best big clutches on the high street.

These quilted French Connection clutch, £45, has a touch of Chanel about it but at the fraction of the price. It laso comes with a detachable strap so if you're sick of carrying it around it easily becomes a shoulder bag.

ASOS have this luch mock crock bag in purple for just £18. Its gold, pyramid shape clasp gives it a real edgey feel.

If elegance is more your thing this Mogil envelope bag, £55, from ASOS is perfect. In patent blue it will look striking against a block colour dress.

This Warehouse patchwork clutch, £35 would look great with jeans and. The gold and beige shades would complement dark blue denim and smarten up any outfit.
