Summer pouches fall firmly into the small-but-mighty category of holiday packing. Great from the moment you set off, they hold your documents and essentials at the airport so they’re ready at hand; they are perfect in-flight for your beauty or tech essentials to pop into your seat pocket; and then, once you’ve landed, they can be used as a clutch for evening outfits. Convinced? We’ve curated an edit of neutral, colourful and monochrome clutches and pouches, from high-street buys to investment pieces in a range of classic shapes and fun, tropical shades.
