As if a quilted handbag wasn't covetable enough (especially with some signature interlocking Cs for some not-so-subtle label-boasting), the style has somehow become even more popular this past season. There's something about quilting that just exudes a sense of understated elegance -- whether it's the homage to everyone's favorite Chanel bag or just the tasteful, vintage-inspired texture -- and is a sleek, stylish alternative to the holiday season's loud and proud sparkle and glitz. While we can't help but be reminded of the classic quilted styles that came before, this new wave of quilted clutches is taking the tried and true look to chic new heights that's stylish without looking too copycat!

This Rebecca Minkoff Tender clutch adds subtle studded detailing to give the retro look a slightly edgier upgrade, while this Marc B clutch from Topshop swaps the chain strap for some layered chain detailing to mirror the jewelry trend that continues to be hot throughout the season! If the rest of your go-t0 holiday party outfit is on the conservative side, draw attention and add some shine with a metallic quilted clutch like this one from Kate Spade. Or for a look that can take you from a casual post-work happy hour to a more upscale night on the town, go for a classic shape in a bold color like this cranberry red clutch from Marc Jacobs!
