Clutch, purse or handbag: what would you call the kind of receptacle for personal items which a woman would carry at a party? And if it had a shoulder strap, would that make a difference to the terminology? Thank you!

Clutch if it doesn't have a shoulder strap. I tend to think of handbags as less formal than a purse but that may just be me.
