Leather Clutch Bridesmaid Gifts

Hi, loves! Emma here. Let me begin by saying I have seen a LOT of wedding clutch bags through the years. Many beautiful clutches have been featured on the blog and The Marketplace because they make such memorable bridesmaid gifts. I’ve seen a clutch bag with a photo inside, we’ve shared silver clutches under $20, ultra modern yet simple clutches, feather clutch bags, and chic clutches for the mother of the bride. In my experience, it seems like handmade handbags are an especially popular gift because each one is lovingly made by hand. This means the clutch you buy is going to be better quality than in-stores (and sometimes less expensive, too!)

When I came across this leather clutch for bridesmaids — featuring a mix of vegan leather and genuine leather — from Sandra Smith, I couldn’t wait to share it with you. This sumptuous leather handbag is unlike anything we’ve seen before, makes a great bridesmaid gift, and is affordable. To top it off, each clutch can come with a surprise message inside and your bridesmaids are going to love that extra-custom detail.

Here is an example of a white clutch with surprise message inside.

The white clutch purse opens to reveal a fun custom message!

Check out these photos to see just how beautiful these leather bags really are, starting with a white leather clutch I wish I knew about when I got married!

White Clutch

This beautiful white clutch is a favorite among brides and bridesmaids alike. This white clutch (also available in additional colors, as you’ll see from the photos below) is handmade using a mix of genuine, USA-sourced cowhide leather, vegan leather, and designer cotton lining. This luxurious white clutch purse has dual personalization with a shimmery gold monogram on the front and a secret custom message inside in your choice of gold or white font.

This white clutch measures 9 x 5 x 1 inches and has a brass metal zipper for easy closure. The top-stitching is made with color-matching materials. All pressure points are triple-stitched (see? that’s something you don’t find in all stores!) for lasting quality. Handmade with love in Queens, NY.

Leather Clutch in Black

This leather clutch is made of black leather with a customized liner featuring each attendant’s title inside, i.e. Maid of Honor or Bridesmaid.

Have something more to say? This leather clutch for bridesmaids allows for up to 10 words on two lines, so you can really speak your mind! This bridesmaid clutch reads, “Thanks for being the sister I never had.” You might want to include a handkerchief for happy tears or, my favorite, “there goes the mascara” hanky inside. She’ll need it! ;)

Leather Clutch with Monogram on Front

This next style features a clutch with a monogram printed on the front. The personalized letters on the front of the clutch are made in shimmering gold, which looks stylish set on the black bag.

And here’s how it looks on the inside.

Beautiful! Now, let’s talk about the foldover leather clutch — another favorite!

Foldover Clutch

This foldover clutch offers a larger bag size measuring at 10 x 10 inches. This bag is made of soft eco leather and features designer cotton lining in your choice of color. The monogram is in navy and is a fun secret personalization printed inside the clutch.

Here’s the sneak peek of the inside liner. I love the way the purple liner looks against the leather clutch! It really pops.

And this deep red color – “berry pink” – is very hot this year. We love how it looks on this foldover leather clutch.

Brown Clutch

This brown leather clutch features a wristlet design and monogramming on the front.

I couldn’t stop there with the inspiration. There are many beautiful leather bag styles to choose from in Sandra’s shop. Here are even more bridesmaid clutches to inspire you.

This “you’re a gem” leather clutch even features a marble inspired liner. Marble wedding ideas are huge this year.

And I couldn’t help but include this cat lover leather clutch! This is another example of the brown leather clutch and features a cute cat icon on the front.

What to Put Inside Your Leather Clutch

If you’re giving a leather clutch as a bridesmaid gift, here’s what you can put inside it as extra gifts.

Most commonly, brides like to put the following gifts inside a bridesmaid clutch. You don’t have to include any of these — or all of them! — but these are popular suggestions for what to put in bags for bridesmaids.

1. A necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings (a pair of these is always a popular choice!)
2. Waterproof mascara
3. A personalized handkerchief (I swear by this)
4. Gift card (spa, favorite store, coffee, etc.)
5. Small compact mirror (this cute heart-shaped mirror is very cheap — only $1.55 each!)
6. Lip balm (you can’t go wrong with this — buy ’em in bulk!)
7. Nail polish to coordinate with her dress (like any of of these)

Some brides even use these clutch bags as a bridesmaid proposal — what a fun idea!

NOTE: You don’t have to include gifts with your bridesmaid clutch, but a little something extra will make her smile.
