This Bag Will Be Your New Going-Out Accessory of 2018
It’s common knowledge that the going-out clutch is just so clutch because it holds only the evening’s essentials. It’s the perfect size to keep your lip stain, iPhone, and moola close *and* adds just the right amount of style. We love this little handheld purse, which is precisely why we’re rallying behind spring 2018’s biggest little bag trend (and the clutch’s lesser-known cousin): the going-out pouch.
The good news is you may already have one at home (it could be holding your makeup or other knickknacks), but in case you don’t, we’ve rounded up our top shopping picks. These bb’s are perf for every evening occasion and will go with any one of your knockout ensembles. Scroll on to find the perfect pouch of your night-on-the-town dreams.
