About Us

Clutch Magazine is the new face of the urban “it” girl; offering a delicious mix of the best in fashion, beauty, life, culture, and more. Clutch aims to appeal to every side of today’s multicultural woman—the fashionista, the working girl, the conscious mind, the social butterfly, the up and comer—and empowers readers to make informed choices about the myriad of decisions that impact their world.

Our Manifesto

  • Smart is always sexy…
  • Do it for yourself not someone else…
  • Research is the key to a successful purchase…
  • A girl should never leave home without her compact…
  • Don’t be afraid to mix styles and colors…
  • If he’s not into you…good…his loss
  • Living and learning is life’s best teacher…
  • We dig men who recognize a mean shoe game…
  • Staying involved in your community is essential…
  • Diversity is what makes the world go round…
  • Don’t date losers…pass them along to your enemies…
  • The library is the hangout…
  • Appearance is important…
  • We live for good music and online shopping…
  • We lead they follow…
