Italian term or phrase: Pochette modello busta
I know that pochette is a clutch, and that busta is a specific type of clutch bag, but I am not sure we have a word for it in English?

Great, thanks! It seems there is a bit of ambiguity in terms of use, the "envelope" is with the triangular flap, but Italians sometimes use "pochette" when there is no flap, like here: https://www.armani.com/it/armanicom/giorgio-armani/pochette-piatta-con-tracolla-in-pelle-matelasse-con-logo-smaltato_cod46654194lw.html

So thanks to Bethany too!
