i have lots of clutch bags BUT when you go to the pub or a party

[ChristinePrattsDog]

then you have to hold the bugger
i htink i need one that fits under the arm

any ideas?

what about a bum bag?

get a clutch-type bag that has a cross-body strap that's fine enough to hide in the bag.

PATCDS- I always think they look a bit dowdy. Maybe it's just because my mum used to have a long strapped bag.

Don;t you just tuck in under armpit? You can still hold your pint of Bitter then

What - sort of like the fendi baguette style of a few years back?

I've never owned a clutch bag
for the reason you have said
they dont seem to make sense to me
not a proper bag

but then I'm right common

dowdy?

well, was just trying to help - I meant one with a very thin strap that could be worn over your shoulder or cross-body that could be rolled up and stuffed in the bag for the majority of the time.

i wonder if thin strpas cut into booswams though,.. intersting thoughts everyone

I have v useful ine with long thin strp you can tuc away if need be
I dont wear it across body though cos of boobs
topshop good for this sort of thing in their sale bins

oh yes if large of nork the strap separates. Not a good look.

Well,I would say buy a bag with a strap?

aha! but £££

Not all bags with straps cost that much!

How big are your clutch bags if they don´t fit under your arm?

If you are prepared to pay Mulberry prices then the Charlie clutch is really handy. It has a chain so can be worn over the shoulder or it unclips on one side so you can wrap it round your wrist, refasten and wear like a bracelet. Or if you prefer you can tuck the chain in the bag and just grip it under your arm like a standard clutch. I have a black one. It was expensive but it will last until the end of time (or it had better bloody well do!)and I use it time and time again.
