Handbag of the week: Oasis

By Jemma Tibbals

Bejewelled clutch, £32 at Oasis

As an advocate of the supersized handbag, I've always been a teeny bit hesitant when it comes to the clutch. I'd like to be the sort of girl who is resourceful with her purse space, but anything even bordering on poky immediately gets vetoed in my loyal, big-bag-loving eyes. But I for one should be less hasty.

As this sparkly clutch from Oasis confirms, a clutch is the speedy way to demure dressing. The clutch isn't asking to be your trusty daytime bag - this is the sort of bag that only comes out at night. Who cares that this purse is proportionally challenged? It's got va-va-voom. Stella McCartney has designed an almost identical silver clutch this season, while everyone from Marc Jacobs to Fendi has championed the clutch for autumn/winter.  Which is why we think you should drop everything (especially that heavy handbag) and get to an Oasis store ASAP and snap this up when it lands in store this week.
