Zip Clutch

My Zip Clutch measured a little smaller than the dimensions listed. 10x18cm opposed to 11x18.5cm, which was just enough difference to not fit my Bellroy notebook cover. (10x15cm)

I was bummed it didn't fit my main notebook.

Other than that, it's still incredibly well built at the Alpaka standard. Sleek and sturdy. Handle is underrated, I can hook this on my chair handle at the studio and use it to store phone / key card / pen / field notes, This keeps things off my desk conveniently.

Side note for potential future buyers; the top zipper opening measures at 14.4cm. So it doesn't fit some notebooks like a leuchtturm in the zipper compartments.

I wanted to use one item to store my cards, cash and maybe a pen and found my way to this clutch. The bonus was being able to put my knife in it, as I don't always wear one in my pocket. My only wish was that is was a bit wider as I used the internal elastic pockets to house my cards (using two Ridge wallets) and I can barely get the main zipper closed when I have them placed inside. Even slimming down the wallet to just 3 cards has no improvement since it's the length of the wallet and not the thickness that is the problem. I took the cards out of the wallet and then the zipper was easier to close, but I can't function with just loose cards in there since I often take the wallet out and want all the cards in one place when I do. So that's why I only gave it 4 stars for my particular use - time will tell on durability too.

Fast delivery of a solid product. I love it when the product actually reflects the description and my expectations. Zip clutch is perfect for the smaller admin pouch, and I love the space for a small notebook at the back. It's great having everything you need to take notes without having to unzip the main pouch just to retrieve a pen and paper.
