15 brilliant beach clutch bags

Forget big beach bags and straw totes, the latest accessory to be seen with on your holiday is the beach clutch bag. Much like its Wintery counterpart, it’s small and compact but with a practical, holiday twist – think lightweight, sand-proof fabrics, which will hold all your essentials and add instant style points to your beachside look.
