Every girl needs a clutch bag. Cocktail functions, weddings, formal parties, dinner get-togethers – all occasions where it’s perfect to give your handbag a rest and reach for a little clutch bag.
Over the years, I’ve collected my fair share of clutches – big and small, I’ve had them all – however I do find there is a perfect sweet spot when it comes to clutches. The one that can easily fit your phone, cards, cash, keys and lippy, and preferably a few extras too – mints/tissues/greeting card. Well, I have come across a little clutch that suits all of these needs – and I’ve found it in a season-perfect metallic shade (and it also comes in navy). Â This clutch has the Goldilocks seal of approval from me – its’s not too big, not too small, it’s just right!
Say hello to the You’ve Got This clutch by Caramel & Co. You might remember Caramel & Co from our collaboration last year which saw a lucky Pretty Chuffed reader win a Monaco hobo bag. Well this time, we’re talking about the perfect clutch, and yes, you’ve the chance to win one of them, too!
The perfect clutch bag by Caramel & Co.
Metallics are big news this season, but I think a silver clutch is a wardrobe staple.
The You’ve Got This clutch is a zip top, rectangular clutch that – just like the other bags in the Caramel & Co range – is super high quality. It’s a soft Aniline leather-look with contrasting silver hardware, and its minimalist style certainly appeals to me – it’ll go with everything.
What I love most about this clutch is it perfectly straddles ‘dressy’ and ‘casual’ – you can just as easily pair this clutch back with a formal dress for a wedding or your jeans and a top for a dinner out.
And, my top tip for getting more use out of your clutches (if occasions are few and far between – I see you, mums of little ones!), is to use them as a wallet – pop your cards, cash and phone in them and then pop them into a bigger bag which holds all of your other goodies. Then if you do happen to go out on your own, and don’t need the extra ‘stuff’ (for me it’s nappies, wipes, snacks and a change of clothes for the girls) you can just grab the clutch and go. It’s also fab for holding the essentials if you quite often swap handbags (as I do!).
The clutch itself features a wristlet which means you can go hands-free (PERFECT for cocktail events), and the internal card holders and a note section means your cash and cards won’t be just floating about inside. See what I mean? It really is the perfect clutch!
Internal card compartments and plenty of room.
The You’ve Got This clutch passes the greeting card clutch test!
Luxurious detailing I just adore.
So, do you want to get your hot little hands on one of these gorgeous clutches? Of course you do!

I’d love the You’ve Got This clutch in silver, it’s so gorgeous! And she would make her debut appearance at my brothers wedding next month, so excited!! 🙂
March 24, 2017 at 8:19 amI would love the silver – would be taking your advice and using it as a wallet in my nappy bag, so this little beauty would be coming with me EVERYWHERE!
March 24, 2017 at 9:18 amI would love the navy and I would take it out with baby so I don’t need a handbag and pop it in my pram with the strap! 🙂
March 24, 2017 at 11:05 amOMG The navy is exactly what I have been looking for! It is perfect. It is not a ‘want’…it is a ‘NEED’
March 24, 2017 at 4:00 pmI would take her everywhere. But her first outing would be to dinner and drinks with my girlfriend for her birthday ????
Love these! I would love the navy (shows up less dirt from my toddlers sticky fingers I would imagine!) I would pop it in the backpack I take everywhere with us and use it as a wallet..with a lipstick in there too of course because even a trip to the park is an outing these days ?
March 24, 2017 at 4:59 pmA Silver You’ve got this clutch from Caramel &co would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe. I love a good clutch! I would take it out on a much need Mums night out!
March 24, 2017 at 5:14 pmI would love to win the navy from my closest girlfriend who so needs a little spoiling and navy is in her favourite colour and I know the clutch would see me adventures
March 24, 2017 at 5:33 pmI would love to win the navy clutch! It would become a staple for me, I love navy! I’d take it on a girls’ night out or dinner with my husband for our upcoming anniversary 🙂
March 24, 2017 at 8:23 pmI would love the Navy! I think the first trip would definitely be out for a few drinks with my hubby ?
March 24, 2017 at 8:27 pmLove love LOVE the Navy “You got this Clutch” – My late Grandma had a beautiful navy bag. Every time I see navy bags/wallets/clutches, I think of her. So my new Caramel and CO’s clutches first outing would have to include Devonshire tea, with scones, jam and cream (of course!) xx
March 24, 2017 at 8:45 pmThe silver would be perfect and I would take this clutch on its first outing on my Friday date night to Il Viale , our lovely local Italian restaurant at Graceville.
March 24, 2017 at 8:57 pmI would love to win the silver….. and I’d hopefully be taking it along on my first date in fifteen years! ?
March 24, 2017 at 9:03 pmOk as boring as this sounds I would take the silver clutch to school pickups. I only ever take my keys, phone and a little bit of cash. So the Carmel and co clutch ticks all those boxes. But the clincher for me is the wrist strap. I am able to hang the clutch on my wrist and have two free hands to push the stroller and then still have a free hand to take all the bags, notes, artwork , etc that is inevitably dumped on me when I pick up my two school age kids.
March 25, 2017 at 8:47 amI would love to take the silver clutch on my trip to QLD with my husband for our first wedding anniversary in April! Then it’d be perfect to keep in my work bag and stock it with extra cash and cards, but also stickers and bubbles as I’m a paediatric nurse and these things come in handy when helping little kiddies who need something to brighten up their day 🙂
March 25, 2017 at 6:19 pmI would love the silver please and it would become the home of my wallet, keys and phone and go everywhere with me in all my larger kiddy bags. My husbands always tells me to put a smaller bag with the essentials in my bigger bags as he’s a bit sick of me losing everything
March 26, 2017 at 7:29 amSilver would be my fave, so easy to pair with different colours and styles. I’m heading off on a long anticipated child-free holiday soon, and how perfect would it be to use this lovely clutch for an evening outing, once the daily tourist backpack has retired for the day.
March 26, 2017 at 3:27 pmI would love to win the navy clutch – its gorgeous! It’s first outing would be with my closest girlfriends for a kid-free catch-up.
March 26, 2017 at 8:52 pmEither!! ? I would take this everywhere, but first outing would 100% be dinner with the girls! Too gorgeous! ?☀
March 26, 2017 at 10:48 pmOh good heavens lady there’s only the one place to take a pretty clutch like that…SHOPPING I’d take her shopping
March 27, 2017 at 8:38 pmOh wow!! I’d love the silver, the perfect accessory for a night out and would fit in seamlessly with the rest of my wardrobe.
March 28, 2017 at 5:23 amI just received my first wedding invite in AGES, so of course I’m already mentally preparing my outfit. This clutch would top the look off perfectly! ?
If I won I would take a silver You’ve Got This Clutch I would take it to my birthday brunch this Sunday ??? and then every where else I ever went after that ?? LOVE it ??
March 30, 2017 at 4:02 pmOhhhh silver pretty please. First outing – The Village Social in Nudah. Cool clutch for a cool place.
March 30, 2017 at 4:03 pmI would be so grateful for a silver clutch & the first outing it would accompany me on would be a girls night out I am hosting at my local services club with the elderly residents I look after in my agecare facility I work in. Check out my insta for pics.
March 30, 2017 at 4:03 pmI would be so grateful for the silver clutch! I own and wear too much black, and I think this would be the perfect way to start incorporating more colour into my life! First outing would definitely be to an annual catchup with my college girls!
March 30, 2017 at 4:20 pmGorgeous !!! Any color would do and our first outing would be dinner with my family.
March 30, 2017 at 4:22 pmSilver would be lovely ! But hard to choose over the navy …. I have a wedding in London in June – my first child free break in 4years. Would be lovely to take a bag that didn’t have the crumbs vegemite toast, or half a rusk or 15 half used tissues in it! If I won the clutch it might then help me put together an outfit to match!
March 30, 2017 at 4:26 pmOh the silver is gorgeous! I’m about to embark on a solo trip of 30+ hours with my 20 month old. Out of the mountain of ‘stuff’ we need for the plane, this little clutch would fit everything for mum. Little miss on the other hand needs a shipping container – got those in silver?
March 30, 2017 at 4:35 pmI would love to debut my You’ve Got This silver clutch at my next Mum’s group wild outing (aka we drink wine, eat naughty food and back home in our daggy pj’s by 9pm).
March 30, 2017 at 4:37 pmI would love a navy one. I would take it on a date night with my husband. Always nice not to have to take everything but the kitchen sink out when the kids are at home. What better way then doing that with this gorgeous clutch
March 30, 2017 at 4:51 pmI’d love the navy clutch! I think it would be perfect to keep in my handbag and take our when I duck out of the office for lunch and only need the essentials! Best part would be that I can lock my larger bag in my work locker and take the clutch to play when we go for after-work drinks! Perfect for the day and evening, the Navy clutch would not get dirty quickly and would match corporate wear, denim and party wear!
March 30, 2017 at 5:13 pmWhat a divine little clutch I’d love the navy that would become my new everyday go to bag. Perfect for running to and from meetings, however she deserves a first outing to remember so I think it would make its debut on an upcoming trip to Milan. The slick stylish look will fit right in!
March 30, 2017 at 7:24 pmI’m going to be a new Mum mid April so I’d take my new silver clutch purse to the coffee shop ? I hear coffee is necessary for mum’s ??
March 30, 2017 at 9:43 pmI’d like you’ve got this clutch in silver. As I prefer to accessorise with silver. I’d debut this clutch at a girl I work with wedding next month.
March 31, 2017 at 12:49 amI would love the Navy! If I won, the first outing for this perfect clutch would be to dinner on my honeymoon at the end of the April to Hawaii xx
March 31, 2017 at 6:37 amI love the Navy. Does everywhere count?! I’d take this bag everywhere and downsize from my tote. But specifically date night, I have a cute dress that’s just begging for a navy clutch. X
