Review: Cool Clutch Handbags PLUS Giveaway
Sponsored post
Every now and then I come across a product that is so amazing that I just want to shout it from the rooftops, because I know that almost everyone needs one (even if they don’t know it yet!) I recently discovered Cool Clutch handbags and I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I’ve been. I raved about them to everyone who would listen in the hairdresser salon last week, and I’ve been telling all my girlfriends too, and I’m not generally one to get so worked up over accessories. Don’t get me wrong I can appreciate a beautiful handbag as much as the next woman, but I’m usually happy having just one or two on rotation (until one of my kids puts crayons into one on a summer day and it can’t be salvaged and I have to buy a new one to replace it.) Yep that’s happened…twice!
So what could be so amazing about a handbag, right?
You may need to sit down for this!
Cool Clutches are super stylish handbags that also double as cooler bags!
I’ll let you take a minute to absorb that and think about all the things you carry around with you at any given time that would benefit from being kept cool. Just think about it! Food…wine…makeup…drinks…wine….medication…your phone…more wine…the possibilities are endless!
Eskies and cooler bags are excellent inventions, but sometimes…(almost always) wouldn’t you rather carry around something more stylish?
I was recently introduced to Cool Clutch and was so impressed with the products on the website that I interviewed the owner – founder Suzanne to find out more about her story of how and why she started Cool Clutch. More to come on that soon!
Fortunately, Suzanne also offered me the opportunity to review Cool Clutch handbags for myself so that I could see if they live up to expectations (and report back to you good people). Suffice to say, I have already purchased an extra three as gifts for friends, that’s how much I LOVE them. In fact, if you and I are friends, I have probably picked out the perfect size and colour Cool Clutch for your next birthday present. Cool Clutches for EVERYONE!
How about I stop rambling and get on with it, eh?
The Cool Backpack
The Cool Clutch backpacks are fantastic for travelling or taking to work. There is plenty of room to keep your lunch, drink, make up or even medication cool whilst travelling. I chose this one for when I travel interstate with my kids to visit their grandparents so I can pack their snacks and drinks and save a fortune on food when we are on the plane. But it has come in very handy for everyday use. It is stylish and comfortable to carry for almost any occasion.
It features the removable 3mm insulated pocket for your cool items, leaving lots of space for all of the everyday items you need to carry such as your purse, phone, book etc (all safe and separate from any items that may have condensation on them).
The Cool Clutch Wine Cooler Handbag
Seriously! Who doesn’t love wine?
The Cool Clutch Wine Cooler Handbag is designed to hold and keep the bladder of a cask of wine cool. The polyester interior is like any other designer handbag and has two main compartments, side zipped pocket and 2 side open pockets. However, the Cool Clutch Wine Handbag also has a unique zipped pocket with a 3mm insulated wall and waterproof aluminium foil lining (like the backpack above) and can hold and keep a wine cask bladder cool completely incognito!
There is a very nifty side pocket that conceals the hole where the tap pokes through that can be fastened with the press studs, so no one will ever guess!
The Cool Clutch
This is one of the ones I bought for a friend (and desperately want to keep for myself. (I bought another in black for another friend – it’s just gorgeous!) This is a Cool Clutch and is the very first bag creator Suzanne started with (and where the ideas for all of the other different types of bags has sprung from). It is perfect for carrying a bottle of wine or bubbles in style to a party (but obviously can adequately carry other similar sized things if the mood so takes you!)
The Cool Collection
Lastly, I chose the Crystal box clutch from the Cool Collection because a) I wanted to show you what a diverse range the Cool Clutches come in (seriously there are so many more you NEED to check out and b) I fell in love with it the minute I saw it on the website. And let me tell you – I was not disappointed! It is even more beautiful in real life. My photographs don’t do it nearly enough justice…but let’s take a look!
The Cool Collection range is stunning on the exterior (as you’d expect from a box clutch) but as you’d expect by now from a Cool Clutch they have the same 100% waterproof lining and insulation. Can you believe that something this beautiful can also double as a handy little cooler bag for your makeup, phone, medication etc?
Mind blown, right?
So, on the ever so slim-to-absolutely-impossibly chance that you didn’t see something here that you immediately fell in love with, let me suggest that you head straight to the Cool Clutch website without delay! There are over 70 different colours and styles to choose from. (Be warned, you may have a list of wants longer than your arm before you leave though!)
Giveaway
Well, it just so happens that I’m not the only lucky one around here because Cool Clutch want to giveaway 2 handbags! One to one lucky winner, and one to a friend of their choice!
For your chance to win, all you need to do is head to the Cool Clutch website and have a really good look through their range. Then come back here and complete the entry form below.

I’ll gift one to my mum as well as a thank you for looking after the other grandchildren while my youngest underwent life saving surgery last week. After babysitting them, she’ll need to keep some wine with her.

I l?ve Marie red Cool Tote as perfect to fit in essentials in my handbag and then then cool pocket to keep my drinks cool either to keep up with my water intake or special drink for a night out at a dinner party. I would gift other bag to my twin sister Jo as our 40th birthday later this year!!

Amy (Black) Cool Clutch for myself and my sister to pack away some wine and nibbles for a girls catch up
I have already purchased 2 Cool Clutches in different sizes, they are absolutely terrific. Now I would like to add to my collection with the Cool Wine Handbag and the Cool Backpack. My daughters also love my Cool Clutches which I let them borrow, so if I win I will give them one each.
I love the wine cooler handbag, I would love to have a sneaky vino to make watching the kids at the park more enjoyable. And so I don’t care so much when all four of them climb onto the flying fox together. I would love to give one to my friend Belinda, who could also do with a wine on the go.
The cool back back is brilliant thank you for the opportunity this would be perfect
They are all amazing I’d choose Lizzy Cool Tote. Thank you for the opportunity.
The cool backpack for sure because it looks great and I love handsfree bags especially this one which you can take to work. My best friend Yan would love this also!
I would love to win the very pretty Jane backpack. For my grown daughter Tahneesha I would choose the Madi. Love the designs, fantastic idea ?

I love the Jade Backpack and both prints are gorgeous, a perfect size and elegant design. I would share this prize with my friend Laura she will love it.
The Joy handbag is the one I would pick and share with Roxanne Armstrong
What an innovative range! Great to ensure medication is kept at a safe temperature, and that chocolate doesn’t melt! I’d love to win a Cool Tote in Julie (purple) and I’d bet my bag-loving, purple-obsessed friend, Wendy, would choose the same!
Id chose the Hannah Tote Bag for myself and the Maria Tote Bag for my bestie.
The Joy Bag for me, definitely! In fact very similar to a bag I have which goes with everything but with it’s dual purpose, it would take pride of place in my small collection and give me JOY. Nifty idea for my friend Sharon Manson who often needs to carry medication and lumps around a huge bag so she can carry cold packs in it.
I’d love the wine cooler clutch for myself and my good friend Lisa wilkinson. We spent many years mastering the art of smuggling booze into festivals when we were younger ☺️ We are both now responsible mumas but still love a cheeky wine or two!!
I’d love the Courtney lime cool clutch. Very versatile and a complete multitasker. Love it!
Absolutely love the black Madi backpack! It’s definitely what all the Cool (Clutch) peeps accessorize with so that means my daughter would love it too.
The Madi (Black) Cool Backpack,
Would be best for me!
With 2 little boys, another on the way,
My hands are full enough, you see!
A backpack with an insulated section,
Is a bonus for a bag that’s hands-free.
And the black is stylish enough to be a staple,
I’m sure you’ll all agree!
The second bag, should I be lucky enough to win,
Would go to my mum for she,
Is a carer to my dad and needs a functional bag,
Instead of her old undersized bag from me!
Definitely the cool clutch handbag!!
I adore the clutch backpack, perfect for day or night, markets, travelling or shopping.
Looks stylish so could be used for going out as well.
I’d gift the other to my daughter because if I didn’t I know she would steal mine. Many thanks for the chance all the bags are fantastic ?
Love the Casey Hot Pink cool clutch. Would like to pick my friend Christina Defazio.
The wine cooler handbag such a brilliant idea!
And the same for my friend Emma Litchfield I reckon 😉
https://www.coolclutch.net/shop/gaye/ love this what a neat product I would so love one of these HOT PINK YAH!
Love the look and design of the cool clutch bag – so elegant and pretty, and so useful! No-one would know that I had my sneaky wine supply hidden away inside this beautiful creation!!
Love the Katie Wine Bag (Black) what a great idea this is.. would be great taking to restaurants instead of walking in with a brown paper bag.

All are amazing but the backpack for me and the Sarah clutch for Claire

OMG such a simple and elegant solution, probably why no one thought of it years ago. I love the Paula Backpack and for my friend Amy it would have to be the large Cool Tote for all the stuff she totes around.
The Maria and the Katie
Wow there are so many to choose from but I really want the black Madi Backpack.
The Cool Clutch would be awesome, no more daggy wine bags and one less bag to carry with 2 young boys would be great ?

These look amazing. I love the Stephanie (blush)Cool Tote and I would love my friend Tanya to receive the other Cool Tote.
My shoulders are lopsided
And my lunch is stale and warm
My muesli bar has melted
And warm drink makes me yawn.
A madi backpack looks great
And solves my posture woes
My lunch is better chilled out
As everybody knows.
And as for who else needs one
My sister is my pick
With three kids and a bunch of jobs
There’s always someone sick
I reckon she carries medicine
Much more than coins or lippy
Please help her keep it nice and cool
For when her kids get trippy.
That cool backpack is a work of genius! I can think of so many situations where that would have been a perfect solution. It would be brilliant for travel. Such a treat to be able to carry food (I have a fussy eater) out to a restaurant without looking like I am carrying a lunch box.
Oh, and I would definitely want Tracey Hall to have the other one!
Would love the Linda (Grey) Cool Large Tote please. Great idea.

I would have to have the wine cooler bag. It rocks! I would love to gift the same model to my friend Anne.
I would choose the Jane Cool Backpack – my kids are still little enough that having my hands free would be great, and I love the idea of adding a splash of colour to my outfits. I’d gift a bag to my friend Melanie; we don’t always see as much of each other as we’d like, but she’s always there when times get tough.
Rachel (Blue) Cool Tote from Cool Clutch is one of my favourite handbags which I would love to own . A sophisticated, stunning and effortless design with superior quality.
