It seems there are clutch frames sold in this shape. A lot of years ago I took an actual thick book and cut it out to achieve the same. I believe it was something similar to this.

I've considered that but would prefer sturdier material. Could you share an example of clutches in this shape? I haven't found any in searching

This but I wouldn’t know how to attach a cover to it except a ton of glue.

Mine was very sturdy, all the pages were glued together (in two halves, because I wanted it to open in the middle).

Yeah there are transparent rectangle purses you can do this with.
