The Frenchie is a type of adorable clutch that is specially handcrafted from high quality fabrics by the company ila Handbags. The whimsical ruffles make for an adorable look that would suit any [blushing bride](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein). The clutches come in all sorts of colors that would look great with [bridal or bridesmaid dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-atelier-collection). There is plenty of room inside the bags for [makeup, cell phones and other necessities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeup-clutch).

Some of the ila Handbags come with beautiful and sparkly brooches that add the perfect touch. If a traditional bride needs "something blue," the light blue custom Frenchie would fit the bill perfectly. The ila Handbags that come without brooches are made that way so the owner can place one of her own on the bag if she chooses.
