Thandiwe Newton: In The Bag | Episode 45 | British Vogue

“At least I’m a hoarder that looks good,” says May cover star Thandiwe Newton, after sharing the considerable contents of her roomy Christian Louboutin tote for episode 45 of British Vogue’s In The Bag series. Let’s just say this actor doesn’t travel light. In addition to two “bags within the bag” – a Louis Vuitton make-up case, and a second to store tampons (“It says ‘Vampire Teabags’... It’s just funny”) – Newton is carrying a copy of Charlotte Mensah’s Good Hair, the latest issue of The Economist, and Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Booker contender, This Mournable Body. Sharing space with all that reading material: make-up she was gifted by her “lovely friend RuPaul”; a notebook (“essench!”); an iPod loaded with Fleetwood Mac, and a bottle of Aesop’s Post-Poo Drops. “My husband put this in my bag,” Thandiwe insists. The Cire Trudon candle, though, was her doing. “This was in my dressing room on the Vogue shoot… and I stole it.” Shop the bag contents: Africaba Collections Bag, by Christian Louboutin: https://f
