'a bag?' is the definition.
(I know that clutch is a type of bag)

(Other definitions for clutch that I've seen before include "Grasp; group of eggs" , "Grip part of the car-engine" , "Grasp - eggs laid in nest" , "Grasp firmly, like engaging car part" , "Hold tight to the eggs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
