Our Story

Clutch&Co was born from a bold decision — to swap a career in finance for a crochet hook and a dream.

 

Founded by Clare Spreckley in Cape Town, Clutch&Co creates handcrafted bags that celebrate individuality, creativity, and conscious living. Each piece is crocheted using high-quality recycled yarns — a choice that reflects a deep commitment to both beautiful design and a healthier planet.

 

Every bag is made by hand, one stitch at a time, right here in the Mother City. No factories. No shortcuts. Just beautiful, functional bags with a story to tell — and a texture you can feel.

 

Each piece is truly one of a kind. Slight variations in texture and colour are not imperfections — they are the fingerprint of the maker. When you carry a Clutch&Co bag, you carry a piece of Cape Town craftsmanship.
