Trendspotting: Totes as Clutches

Totes and shoulder bags being carried as oversize clutches. Everything from a classic quilted Chanel bag to a must-have Proenza Schouler iteration being turned into handheld staples. Why do I love it so much? It's a quick way to punch up an outfit, it adds more versatility to your bag's shelf life, and it offers up a different approach to statement arm candy.

While this twofer craze may have started with medium-sized fare (look to Joanna Hillman, at far right, for edgier proof), leave it to Victoria Beckham to supersize the look. On a recent London outing, Victoria turned out one of her most dramatic tote-to-clutch moments yet. You couldn't miss her carrying her oversize colorblock Victoria Beckham bag — as a clutch — in London.

With a stylish crew behind the twofer look, tell me: would you carry your tote as a clutch?
