Clutch bags are fashion statements that have been used by fashionable ladies for a long time. Clutch bags are accessories that can be as detailed or as scantily detailed as the occasion requires. Indian Designer clutch bags are not a new accessory class as such, but internationally they have not been very popular.

India’s long heritage and customs dictate the design and styling of the clothes and accessories. However, some accessories are able to transcend boundaries and customs and adapt, so that they become versatile but at the same time retaining their essential character. Indian Clutch Bags are such an example. These accessories combine the best of Indian traditional styling and detailing and at the same time are modern in shape and construction, so that they can be combined with even the most modern dresses.

Designer Indian Clutch bags go a step further than the normal Indian clutch bags because they usually involve a lot of handcrafted detailing like metal work and precious stone embellishments. A Designer like Meera Mahadevia is a veteran of the industry and has created Indian Clutch bags for over 30 years. Her creations have been famous in India and have been used by Indian celebrities and Bollywood stars. I’ll highlight some of the key features of Indian Clutch Bags using Meera Mahadevia’s collections as an example.

Styling

The styling for Indian Clutch Bags is a function of comfort and tradition. Traditional Indian shapes like Paisley motifs can be used on the actual bag or as an inspiration for the overall theme of the bag. An Indian Clutch bag obviously has inspiration from India, but the overall theme combines contemporary styling. The use of fashion trends in order to make Indian clutch bags lends the bags a current theme and easy to combine with the latest style of clothes. Use of modern materials like plastic, leatherette, etc. on Indian clutch bags makes them lighter compared to traditional bags (more on this later). Creative use of materials like metal sheeting and sequins creates a modern style capable of being used internationally.

Creation Process

Indian Clutch bags are still created and made by hand. The finishing that a handmade product has is completely un-matched by modern production techniques. Hand finishing obviously takes a lot of time and implicitly adds to the cost of the bag. The artisans and craftsmen that create these Indian clutch bags are trained for generations in their craft that is passed from one generation to another. They have not always made Indian clutch bags, but they have used their skills for jewellery and accessories.

Materials

Traditionally cloth and fabric have been the materials of choice for Indian Bags. These materials had rich embroidery, usually brocade fabrics, and has crystals and zari embroidery. Fabric has given way to metal and sturdier materials. These materials let the craftsmen be more creative, especially the designers. Metals like Copper, Steel, Gold and Silver are used in Indian Designer Clutch Bags, usually in a manner that makes the bag light and easy to carry around.

Embellishments

India is famous for rich colours and elaborate detailing. This is reflected in the embellishments on Indian Clutch Bags in the form of multi-coloured stones, including precious stones in some cases. The embellishments can be in the form of intricate metal work that uses twists and turns in metal or laser cut metal sheets or even metal pasted together to create fascinating patterns and elaborate looking results.

There are many features that set Designer Indian Clutch Bags apart from normal clutch bags – they are beautifully detailed and finished in extravagant materials. The detailing and the styling set these apart and designers like Meera Mahadevia should be the top choice for you. Shop the latest collections of Indian Designer Clutch Bags at Strand of Silk.
