Dinky clutch bags are still a poular choice for evening wear.  But somehting else that has recently crept into the fashion scene has cuaght my eye  – the minaudières.  In other words tiny decorative cases or boxes used  like a hadbag for women to carry around their lipsticks and tissues.  They come in luxurious materielas like pearl and leather with numerous lavish  designs. However they do appear somwhat impracitcal with no straps or handles and unlike cluthces they are not soft enough to hold under your armpit! I’ve seen a picture of Jennifer Anniston and Drew Barrymore pulling them off very well.  But would you buy one? Or do you think they are too impractical?
