Inside Linda Evangelista's Handbag | British Vogue

Supermodel Linda Evangelista still uses the Birkin bag she selected in an Hermès boutique back in 1985. “I really liked this one, it was on a top, top shelf, and it had dust on it, and they advised me not to take this because they said it was démodé, and I wore it every single day,” British Vogue’s September 2022 cover star recalls in this episode of In The Bag. As for what she keeps inside of it? Everything but the kitchen sink. “I’m prepared for doomsday at home, and if I’m out and about,” she quips. From the Erasa SPF she loves so much that she sleeps in it to the Tiffany & Co. keychain she got following the birth of her son Augustin, discover all of Linda Evangelista’s carry-everywhere essentials, here.

I’ve never heard her voice before. Crazy how her face and facial structure are so fierce and fairly intimidating and yet her voice is so pleasant and friendly

[AMiniki]

The fact that she uses that Birkin as it was meant to be used. Respect.

[ALittleFuzzyLamb]

She earned my respect immediately when she showed a lived in Birkin. She clearly uses it and loves it. It’s so boring when people who can afford them just use them as closet decor.

[JB-Flygirl]

She’s an icon. She still wears a vintage Birkin, shows how she appreciates it. And love the backstory.

[lelecarrington]

Love that the bag was old and had a life! Not like others that have a new bag just to show off or look cool in these videos! Total ICON!

[staceycameron]

I love how the items in her purse have so much meaning to her. It's not just a bag, it's one someone told her was out of style, yet she still chose it out of all the bags, and still has used it to this day. It's not just a key chain, it's one she got when her daughter was born. I just love the sentimentality of it all ♥ What a lovely person ♥

[guinnevereschronicles]

I love that she has one of the most expensive bags in the world and has used it for so long. I respect that. I hate that most celebrities has the bags and just displays them without using them

[complexco]

This feels so honest. Everything she shows here feels like not predicted or curated to be spotted as cool, it’s so refreshing for this type of videos. She’s also very funny, what a goddess! 💖

[SkyBlueWooHoo]

Best "What's in my bag" Ever!
So honest and didn't feel fake or staged. You know she honestly disclosed the actual contents of her regular bag. FABULOUS.
On my next wish list I hope RuPaul does this one day.

[hagcountess]

This woman just radiates class and style. Her diction, tone, excentric choice of products. I love it all! I am happy that I am not the only one who carries a mix of survival kit + beauty products in a well-loved bag. What an inspiration.

Oh. And I just think she’s beautiful! I am so happy that she is back, and I really hope we’ll be seeing much, much more Linda in the future.

Ps: I never noticed before - but her voice is lovely. Why she hasn’t done audiobooks is beyond me.

[PetWessman]

Linda manages to go "Here's 48 designer products" and still come off as relatable and approachable since she has had a bunch of them for so long. Literally what most of us would do if we could afford the top shelf products that are made to last forever - find the one we love most and then use it forever.

[lkgndno]

She's so open and honest. No over-glamorisation and willing to talk about her insecurities like the headscarf to cover her chin. She seems like a lovely woman and I'm so glad she's back, showing her legendaryness to an entirely new generation of people.

[stingdogs]

Even though she is covered head-to-toe in fashion, I love that her personality shines through. Truly an icon.

[aureliajoypae]

Linda is an absolute icon. She's so classy, sophisticated and so beautiful. Thank you British Vogue for bringing this LEGEND 🥰😘

[appalachianwoman]

So glad Linda is back in the world of fashion, she will always be the Supermodel to me. I grew up in the 1990s as I was a teenager and Linda was and always will be my favorite. I wish American Vogue would place her on the cover here. Love that she's prepared for the apocalypse at home and in her purse.

[anitahamer]

I cannot express enough my happiness and gratitude to British Vogue for bringing us Linda! She is elite! Can we please now have Cindy, Christy, Claudia, Amber, Helena and Naomi?

[debb]

She has the best personality—she’s so dry with her wit. Give her her own talk show! I could listen to her talk all day. ❤️

[MelissaNgai]

I love how gentle she speaks. So elegant and sweet! Her stories are so fun to hear and I love how worn her bag is. She really respects and enjoys fashion and beauty.
