Few bags are as chic as the illustrious under-the-arm pouch. It’s a thing that screams, I’ve got it all together, even when you might not, in fact, have anything together. Sometimes referred to as a document pouch, other times called an envelope clutch, the shape is sleek, instantly elevating any look.
It’s the kind of accessory that exudes an air of authority, and the shape itself is rather timeless, making it a great piece to buy into. It is a classic that will remain in your rotation for years to come. Tucked under the arm in a very nonchalant way, it offers an effortless air of both chicness and coolness; there’s power in the pouch.
Whether you’re looking for a more literal version of the classic document pouch or an updated version that reads more like a clutch, there are many great options at many different price points. The bonus? Carry it on its own or put it in one of the season’s trendy big bags Why Does Every Discard Want to Sell You a Handbag

Save the expense of this new trend and simply tuck in the straps of your shoulder bag and carry it under your arm. Buying a designated clutch that you can’t wear any other way seems silly.
Great idea!
I always loved a clutch. I have a Chanel clutch with removable chain. Love it. Throw in a tote when traveling or working for more security. 🥰. Looks to feminine
Clutches always look stylish, but they are occasion-specific for those times when two hands won’t be needed. They’re pretty expensive for something that can’t be hung on a shoulder or wrist. This is what I have to keep telling myself as I drool over the outrageously-priced BV Lauren Teen. I really, really would love to own that clutch.
