Designer Spotlight: Clutch Bags

In early 2001, fashion stylist Laura Dotolo found that most designer bags focused on giant logos and signature patterns stamped all over them rather than the actual form and function of the bag. This inspired Laura to start Clutch Bags, her own line that focuses less on a designers image and more on a woman's needs! Clutch Bags draws on her New England sensibility and inherited Italian aesthetic. Bagistas, you can count on Clutch Bags to keep you looking your best while carrying your treasurables! According to Laura, "We take functional ideas and make them our own — an envelope, a mail pouch, a saddlebag and so on. Our designs will outlast any trend or fad. I like to think these handbags and purses are something women will use for a lifetime." Laura Dotolo shows us that less is more with her gorgeous collection of chic and effortless handbags!
