When we talk about fashion accessories, Clutch bags do count on par with the list of Jewellery, Dresses and Shoes. Women are used to carry a plethora of items in their hand bags but with the trend of Clutch bags, it is hard to accept the minimalist living. The main issue that arises in this case is how to pack your clutch in such a way that you can still have your essentials with you.

A clutch is only big enough to carry minimal items but what are your essential? Do you know? What items are worth keeping with you? In a big bag we usually dump everything we deem necessary to us. Let’s overcome this challenge by discussing the items that are essential for you.

Suppose you have to go for for a Party or a formal gathering and you're carrying a basic black clutch with you, what will you put in it? We have made a list of the 12 things that you can fit in your clutch:

• Fresh Mints - All day long you meet people, talk to them in intimate settings and so you always need to have a fresh breathe. Whenever you feel like, you can just pop a mint in your mouth.

• Small Hair brush - You always need a hairbrush. You might need it anytime, incase of a sudden meeting or just because your hair looks like a crows nest due to the winds. You’ll need to pack a small hair brush to detangle your hair and make it look sleek and straight.

• Mini Perfume Bottle - Perfume is everyone’s favourite to keep in their purses. We can’t possibly fit in an original size perfume bottle in a clutch purse, so a mini perfume bottle is ideal to keep in your clutch because you always want to smell good.

• Lipstick - It is one of the most important items that you always need to have with you. You eat, you drinks and poof! Your lipstick is gone, which is why you always need to have your lipstick or gloss for reapplication throughout your day or night.

• Compact Powder - Makeup is a delicate thing and it wears off if you sweat or generally do a lot of physical activity. A compact powder is important to hold your makeup and keep your face oil free all day and night.

• Money - This is a no brainer, you can’t leave your house without your Cash and Debit/Credit cards. Without money in your hand, there is not much you can do. Also, there are still places that accept cash and no cards. Before leaving your house , double check your black clutch for these critical items.

• Pain Reliever - If you often get headaches then a handy pain reliever is a requirement for survival.

• Safety pins, Bobby pins and Scrunchies - These small items are a must have because they come in very handy in unexpected situations. Scrunchies or hair bands is something that is never enough and we keep losing them, so having a few spares in your clutch could prove to be very helpful.

• Phone and Spare Charger - Our mobile phones are the most precious to us and we never forget to take them with us but it could be troublesome if the phone loses battery and you are not able to contact anyone or even book a cab. A Charger is a need of the hour.

• Earphones - who doesn’t love music? A good pair of earphones or earpods can be kept in your clutch bag.

• Tissues - A pack of tissues is essential for remove any smudges on your face or just soak any sweat or oils on your face.

• Bandages - Sometimes you may fall or stumble or scratch yourself and that is when you will need bandages. Just a few bandages in your clutch will be good to have.
