Evening clutches for weddings, parties and banquets — sequins, pearl beading, feathers, metal bows and clean minimal PU. Most here fit a large phone alongside cards and a lipstick, and the majority include a detachable chain so you can wear them over the shoulder when you need your hands.

If you are buying for a wedding, the pearl and gold-bow styles are the safest bets. For a party, sequins and feathers do more work.
