Bridal & Evening Clutches
Bridal and evening pieces are bought for a date, not a season, so the constraint is usually the calendar and the clasp rather than the volume. We build these with custom die-cast clasps and hand beadwork, from 50 pieces.
What matters in a bridal brief
The date is fixed and the colour must match a dress, a shoe and often a bouquet. We therefore start with the clasp and the dyed satin, and only then move to beadwork — swapping a clasp two weeks before a wedding is not recoverable.
- Clasp first — die-cast brass, die-cast zinc with plating, or a fabric-covered frame; each has a different lead time.
- Dyed satin match — we dye lining to a swatch you send and keep the recipe for future one-off additions.
- Dust bag and packaging — bridal pieces are usually presented, so packaging is part of the product, not an afterthought.

Quick Answers: MOQ, Sampling & Lead Times
Short, self-contained answers to the questions buyers ask most about this programme.
- What is the typical order size for bridal clutches?
- Bridal and evening ranges usually run smaller than other categories — 50 to 300 pieces, often split across several colourways to match a collection. Because the pieces are lower volume but higher detail, the sampling stage carries more of the total cost than on a volume style.
- Can you meet a wedding date deadline?
- Yes, if we work from the date you need goods in hand rather than the ship date. Tell us the delivery deadline and we will say plainly whether a custom clasp makes it impossible. Custom die-cast hardware typically adds two to three weeks to the front end.
- Do bridal clutches need special packaging?
- Usually yes, because the piece is presented rather than unpacked. Common requirements are an individual dust bag, a rigid box and sometimes a ribbon or card. Beadwork and raised embroidery also need shaped cradles so the surface is not compressed in transit.
- Can a bridal style be extended into a season range?
- Yes, and it is a common path. Once a bridal clutch is approved, the same pattern and embroidery files can be reused with a different clasp, lining and colourway for a season run at a lower unit cost, because the sampling and digitising are already paid for.
Production & Customization FAQ
Can you handle a wedding-date deadline?
Tell us the date you need goods in hand, not the ship date. We work backwards from it and will say plainly if a custom clasp makes the date impossible.
Do you make single bridal pieces or only production runs?
Production from 50 pieces. For a small number of customising additions — initials or a specific lining — we can produce a short run on an existing pattern.
