Small enough to clip on. Big enough to be useful.
Ever wished you had somewhere small to keep those little essentials you need to grab quickly?
I created the Clip & Keep Essentials Pouch after people kept asking at markets for a small pouch that could attach to a handbag or bag and hold things like hand sanitiser. So, rather than making customers squeeze their essentials into a pouch that wasn't quite the right size, I designed one specifically for the job.
With a zip opening down the center and a metal swivel lobster clasp, you can clip it wherever it's most convenient — to the outside of your handbag, onto an internal zip, your keys, another bag, or anywhere else you want your essentials close at hand.
And despite its compact size, it can hold more than you might expect.
What You Keep Inside?
The possibilities are surprisingly useful:
- Small hand sanitiser bottles
- Lip gloss tubes
- Lipstick
- Lip balm in tubes or tub-style
- Small pill boxes
- 3+ tampons
- Other small essentials
-
It's ideal for the little things that tend to disappear at the bottom of your bag.
Designed With Practicality In Mind
Measuring approximately 13.5cm long x 7cm wide, the Clip & Keep is made from cotton fabric and designed with enough structure to protect and contain your essentials without becoming a bulky pouch. The internal construction is carefully finished with overlocking and binding, so no raw fabric edges are exposed inside the pouch.
Finished with a metal swivel lobster clasp, you can easily clip it on and move it wherever you need it.

Made Because Customers Asked For It
This product started with a conversation. At markets, customers would see one of my other small pouches and ask if I had a pouch that would hold a hand sanitiser and unfortunately I didn't have anything that fit the bill. So I went back to the sewing machine and created something that would!
That's what I love about making things — listening to what people actually need and finding a practical way to make it happen.
Because sometimes the best product ideas start with a simple question:
“Could you make one that...?”
The Clip & Keep is handy for:
- Handbag organisation
- Backpacks and school bags
- Travel essentials
- Nappy or baby bags
- Keeping medication close at hand
