If there's one thing that everyone needs during the Christmas party season it's a good clutch.  That's why today on the blog I am introducing Madam Q Couture, a handbag project designed by Manchester based designer Sophie Ho.  She wanted to create a line of clutches that embodies the Manchester lifestyle... edgy, fun and sophisticated.

Manufactured locally in Manchester Madam Q Couture's first collection is made up of two different styles of clutch bags, the Olivia clutch and the Scarlett clutch.  The Scarlett clutch, my favourite, is slightly bigger and has a removable strap.  Both styles are available in black or white with either a studded motif or a jewelled wing embellishment.

Unfortunately they are not available yet but Madam Q Couture is currently running a Kickstarter to fund the project, so if you like what you see and would like to get your hands on one of these amazing clutches be sure to check it out.
