For Mother’s Day, I decided to spoil my mum with a high-quality bag that didn’t break the bank. I noticed she often visits with just her sunglasses and smartphone, so a small phone crossbody bag seemed perfect. The Dress Up Your Purse Togo Leather Cell Phone Mini Crossbody Bag caught my eye, but I needed to qualify for free shipping. As I browsed the Dress Up Your Purse (hereafter DUYP) website, I found the Togo Leather Envelope Trio Clutch Set with Silver Hardware in Navy, Grey, and Tiffany Blue – a versatile set that I decided to treat myself to.
Why I Chose DUYP
While there are many affordable brands offering cell phone crossbody bags, DUYP stood out, because I had been following their website and Facebook page, eagerly waiting for a restock of the Black Epsom Leather Corsica Card Holder.

Design
I hadn’t owned any Togo leather items before, so I was excited to see what it had to offer. Togo leather has a texture similar to pebbled leather but feels softer, grainier, and velvety. The smallest envelope in the trio had the smoothest finish, possibly due to its size. I specifically opted for Togo leather, and at the time, the Tiffany Blue, Grey, and Navy combination was the only option. These colors are timeless, making them an excellent choice. The other two colour combinations in Togo leather of Black, Olive and Khaki and Navy, Pink and Purple have just been recently restocked.
The trio also comes in other leather options like Epsom leather in Teal, Dark Brown, and Orange. The envelopes are versatile, with rings for attaching a wristlet or crossbody chain. I believe the HCC X DUYP ⅜” /10mm Togo Leather Adjustable Strap would suit the largest envelope in the Tiffany Blue colour, and I plan to test this hypothesis soon. However, since the set has silver hardware, there might be fewer straps and accessories available to complement the trio. This could limit customisation options for those who prefer a perfect match.
One minor drawback is the plain logo, hidden inside the envelope rather than stamped outside. The silver stamped foil can blend in with the Grey and Tiffany Blue leather and suede as well. However, the precise stitching and overall structure ensure these envelopes can withstand regular use. The slim design makes them easy to organise in a bag, but bulkier items might not fit well, requiring strategic packing to avoid misshaping the envelopes.
Wear and Tear
After using the envelopes for a month, they still look and feel new, indicating their durability. The only issue is the creasing of the leather where the flap is folded, but this is a given. I haven’t tested the large envelope as a clutch yet, as I usually prefer small to medium crossbody bags and the large envelope doesn’t fit those.
What Fits Inside
This topic deserves a detailed post (stay tuned), but currently, I carry the following:
- Small Envelope: Extra gum, Listerine Oral Care Strips, and smaller pills.
- Medium Envelope: Small Pusheen notebook, Pusheen pen, Il Bisonte key case pouch with Cygnett power pack and Type C USB, bag hook, and two hair ties.
- Large Envelope: Mask case from Temu, bobby pins, Specsavers lens cleaner, Strepsils, Clio Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion in Linen shade (#3), sanitary bag, sanitary pad, good luck charm from Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Japan, and a tiger plush keyring from my husband.
Overall Experience
The DUYP Togo Leather Envelope Trio Clutch Set is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to elevate their accessory game. Combining quality, style, and versatility, these clutches are perfect for special occasions or everyday use. If you’re in the market for a new clutch (or three) that rivals the Kirigami Pochette from Louis Vuitton, I highly recommend this trio.
