Dear CheapChica…

I am looking for the perfect (cheap) white clutch.  I’m going on vacation and I think it’s the perfect bag to take with me…it’ll match everything and I don’t have to stress about packing multiple bags.  Where can I find this without breaking the bank?

Thank you,
Nicole

Dear Nicole,
You are totally correct!  A white clutch will go with everything and it’s by far the easiest (and most fun) color to wear on vacation!  But finding a white bag can be really difficult, especially if you’re on a budget.  They tend to look cheap and chintzy more often then not, so you have to look for luxe details, like texture and hardware, that will have your budget buy passing for a designer bag.

I happen to love the look of a white bag year round and I say to hell with the “no white shoes/bags” after Labor Day rule!  They’re one of my favorite things to carry because they’re so unexpected and they just look so fresh and clean.  I found you a few clutch styles that I think would be perfect for your trip like this woven one above from Guess. It has a very Bottega Venetta feel, without the hefty price tag! I also included some larger sizes in case you want to try out a white bag for the upcoming season.

And since you’re on a budget, these all retail for under $45…Have a safe trip!
