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 shut with a satisfying clunk if they have that clinky- clunky type of closure. There is something final about this. It instantly conjures up an image of a woman, impossibly beautiful of course, who, having just re- applied her lipstick, closes her bag and simultaneously finishes with her errant boyfriend with the same ease. Clutch bags have come on rather since those faux rolled-up magazines in the Seventies. They are still not the most practical of bags, since you can't fit too much in them, and they negate carrying anything else. But they are so glammie and good and the Donna Karan one featured here is divine. Blow the mortgage and let your children live off Findus fried things for a month and treat yourself.
