Oooh don’t start me on clutches or we can be here until tomorrow...
Uses I give to my clutches (and no, I don’t use a car regularly, not even occasionally, bar holidays -and taxis
).
- Carried in a bigger bag:
whenever I carry a bigger bag. I don’t do bag organizers, I do clutches.
- For meetings at work. Sorry but I just hate the look of a woman coming into a meeting with a humongous bag who starts fumbling inside for a pen. The other extreme is those who go around with a pile of papers, the phone, a card and a pencil and mug of coffee dangerously balancing on top of it all. Carry a clutch!
- For lunches and coffees at and during work. As above. Leave the big bag in the office
- As grab and go for breakfast or lunch with a friend.
- To throw in your bicycle basket when running errands.
- For grocery shopping: I throw a clutch in my tote or basket, and when it is filled, I carry the tote in the shoulder and the clutch in my hand.
- For all those odd occasions when you are not sure what to wear: parents evening, job interview, first meeting with the in-laws..
- Inside your gym or yoga bag.
- For traveling. Essential to carry your essentials in your bigger travel bag. Plus they are easy to pack so they multiply your options wherever you go.
- For diner parties: There is always a way to leave your clutch standing somewhere decoratively (instead of hanging your bag with the coats or awkwardly placing it on a chair).
- For informal evenings out, whether it is diner or a drink. Also for cinema or concerts (NOT clubbing).
- For formal work events. Clutch is the only option in my book.
- For formal other events, day or evening, like weddings and so on, a clutch is always good.
- A ball, which requires a different kind of clutch.
Your collection is so nice Papertiger! Specially love your Hermes 1938. So gorgeous!
Will try to collect and photograph mine.
