A beaded or jewelled clutch is small, but the detail on it is delicate. These general habits help it last. If your bag came with its own care note, follow that first.
Keep it dry
Moisture and perfume can mark stones, beads and metal. Put the clutch on only after your perfume and hairspray have dried, and keep it away from water. If it gets damp, pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air out.
Store it well
Keep the clutch in a soft cloth bag or its own dust bag. Stuff it lightly with tissue so it keeps its shape. Do not stack heavy items on top, and do not store it in direct sun.
Avoid rubbing and snagging
Beads and stones can catch on rough fabrics, jewellery and zips. Carry the clutch in your hand or on its chain, and keep it away from sharp edges. Take care when you place it on rough surfaces.
Clean gently
Dust the surface with a soft, dry brush or a clean, dry cloth. Do not scrub, and do not use chemical cleaners or water on beadwork. For marks you cannot remove, ask the maker or the store before trying anything else.
Do not overfill
Stretching a clutch with too many things strains the frame and the clasp. Keep to the essentials such as your phone, lipstick and a few cards.
