Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Clutch bags don’t have to be all glitz and sequins. Instead, why not opt for a stand-out piece in a bright colour, unusual shape (doggy bag, anyone?) or with a graphic print?

We’ve scouted out a selection of vibrant and out-of-the-ordinary clutches and pouches to pep up an outfit, whether it’s jeans or an LBD. From Accessorize’s pop art-inspired ‘Call Me…’ clutch (£19) up to Dareen Hakim’s sleek and chic envelope style Le Parisien (£196), there’s a bag that will fit your budget.

Verdict:

For an affordable bag that will add a pop of colour to your outfit without causing too much of a dent in your pay check, take a look at Accessoryo’s bright range. If it’s glamour you’re after, Wilbur and Gussie’s silk-covered bags with their surprising – but still somehow classic-looking – prints are an investment. For anyone that likes the idea of a pouch, John Lewis’s bright botanical-print number is a statement steal for under £30.
