Default Knot Clutch - what do you put inside them ?
What can you fit inside them ? They look so tiny so what do you leave behind ?

I have stopped smoking so pack of cigarettes and lighter is no longer needed therefore besides maybe lipstick, powder, mascara, drivers license, house & car keys and cash, is there anything else one needs ? Does it all fit ? Are you required to spill the entire clutch to get something small out ?

Alternatively, if you are riding with someone, what would you replace the car key and driver's license with ?

Do you miss something because it doesn't fit ? Does it add significant planning time before you go out ?

I am not in the market for a knot (not yet anyways) but always have been curious about what can be fit in them and if I could learn to 'live' with less.... (and please don't try to convince me to get hooked and start buying knot clutches... I will let you all know when I am good and ready )

I can put my cellphone, a house key, a lipgloss, a folded up tissue, my id, credit card and some cash inside. I could cram a comb in there if it were short enough. So, not too much. The elongated Knot is much handier.

I can fit a few ID/credit cards, a small amount of cash, a lipstick, key, and mobile phone.

OR

I can fit a few ID/credit cards, a small amount of cash, a lipstick, key, and my digital camera (instead of the phone).

It's not optimal, and my husband carried the car keys when I've used my Knot. I love mine, anyway.

There's no need to spill contents when searching for an item. For one thing, you cannot carry that much, so you can see everything at a glance. Also, the sides have gussets that unfold and hold the contents inside when the Knot is open.

I have the same 2-compartment knot clutch as doloresmia's. On one side I put in my ID, driver license, credit cards, cash + mobile phone; and a lipgloss, hand cream and 1/2 pack of tissue paper on the other side. As for the keys, I will leave them in the car or I don't bring them if I'm going out with my DH.

The classic knot in satin/silk is great-- very wearable and timeless for sure

and the array of colors is great as well
