Who doesn’t love a boost of confidence from a fun handbag? One type of clutch that’s not seen too often is a minaudière, which is “a small, decorative handbag without handles or a strap” of French origin, Rewind Vintage reported. These small, hard-sided handbags are popping up more now, and even Target has a new one that looks a lot like a vintage Chanel clutch that’s 183 times the price.Target’s Minaudiere Clutch by their in-house brand, A New Day, is $30 and has over 80 ratings and four stars. And even though Target’s purse doesn’t have the accented French spelling, it is a classic minaudière. As Fashionista reported, this evening bag was inspired by women in the 1920s and 30s who used metal cigarette cases as a place to hold all of their belongings on a night out, not just cigarettes. Since then these bags have been made out of metal, gold, precious stones and more. While Target’s Minaudiere Clutch has a shell made out of acrylic, it is in the same style: it has a hard outer shell and is pretty small; it measures 3.9 inches tall, 10 inches wide and 1.77 inches deep.

It also has cloth sides so you don’t have to worry about things falling out of the sides when you open it. This clutch comes in three colors: cream, black and brown/tortoise print. The cream and black colors have a marbled look to them, with matching straps made of round beads. The tortoiseshell one has the tortoise print and then a chain strap with a similar color. Again, A New Day’s Minaudiere Clutch has pretty good reviews, with one person writing that it was a “great little clutch.” They said that they “love it” and own it in two of the colors.“It has a great vintage luxury look I just love," they said.Another shopper said that it was a “perfect clutch” and they get so many compliments when they wear it out. And despite it being a smaller handbag, one person said that it held their iPhone 12 Pro Max, card wallet and keys; you know, the essentials."A must-buy!" they said. "Love, love, love! It is so cute… It does have some “weight” to it. It’s going to be perfect for errands & date nights."Chanel Tortoise Logo Chain Mini Bag, $5,490 at Treasures of New York City

As we mentioned before, this Target clutch is similar to a vintage Chanel bag: the Chanel Tortoise Logo Chain Mini Bag. It’s not a current purse from Chanel, of course, so places like Treasures of New York City are reselling them; right now it costs $5,490 on their website. As Rewind Vintage reported, Chanel has been making unique and limited editions of minaudière clutches, including one that looked like their No. 5 perfume bottle in 2016.Treasures of New York City says that it measures 5.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Boutique Patina, who is also selling one of these bags, notes that this is from 1994 and has a long strap to make it a crossbody. It also says that the purse and its strap are made with brown tortoise resin. There’s also a lambskin interior and it zips closed. It’s not fully a minaudière because only the front and back are hard, but it’s undeniable that Target’s tortoiseshell clutch looks a lot like this one. Minus the big “CC” Chanel logo on the front, of course.So if you’re in the market for a unique hard-sided purse that might add that extra oomph you’ve been looking for, Target’s Minaudiere Clutch is worth checking out.
