Inside Molly-Mae Hague’s Bottega Veneta Bag | In The Bag

Hi, British Vogue.

I'm Molly-Mae and this is what's in my bag.

[upbeat music]

This is my everyday bag.

It's really big.

When you're a mum, it's ideal.

But the only thing I will say,

it's a bit of a bottomless pit,

like it's like the TARDIS in here.

It's just never-ending.

I'll probably start with the biggest item, wipes.

Mum-essential,

bit of a boring one, but these are great

for when you have a baby,

but also who doesn't need a set of wipes?

It's so great for taking your makeup off.

They're literally 99% water.

Next in my bag, absolute essential of course, my phone.

I don't go anywhere without this.

At one point, I did actually carry two phones,

but I've limited it down now to just one.

Because for someone

that's very forgetful and quite unorganized,

having two phones was just absolute nightmare.

Sometimes, I don't have a phone case on.

Hence, why my phone is all cracked

from dropping it a million times

and my child dropping it on my kitchen floor,

which is just standard.

Card holder, now-

[Crew Member 1] This camera.

Cardholder.

[Molly-Mae laughs]

[Crew Member 2] Let's go again.

This looks very organized of me,

but I give it two to three working days

before I lose this again.

I can never seem to keep things like this in my possession.

That's why Apple Pay exists though.

People like me and Apple Pay go hand-in-hand.

Next in my bag, a very battered box of paracetamol.

I'm a headache queen.

Especially when you have a toddler in your ear,

Mama, mama, mama, all day,

you are gonna need to take a few of these.

And you never know also,

who's gonna need to buy painkillers off you.

'Cause I thought there's always someone in the room

that says, Have you got any paracetamol?

Always.

My favorite hair item in my bag currently,

would have to be this brush.

Now, I believe the brand is called La Bonne Brosse,

or something.

This is probably the bougiest item in my handbag,

'cause I do believe these hairbrushes,

even for like a mini one, it's like maybe 90 odd pounds,

which I think is absolutely astronomical for a hairbrush.

But this was a gift

and very sweetly, it's engraved with the name

of my new brand, Maebe.

If we're staying on the line of hair,

multiple bobbles as always,

because you never know if you're gonna need a bobble.

Also, my hair is absolutely horrendous for holding volume.

So, carrying a little roller,

you need a little bit extra Va Va Voom

for your hair is always great.

I have two claw clips here.

And I learned a really fun fact

about claw clips the other day,

which is that you should never ever drive

with a claw clip in your hair,

because it's super dangerous.

So, if you learn something today,

it's that fact, safety first.

[Molly-Mae mouths sound]

Okay, next up, we have a scent.

I never leave home without a perfume.

I feel like people that will follow me on Instagram,

will know I have an obscene perfume collection.

It's like a hobby of mine to collect perfume.

And the one I'm currently wearing,

is from a brand called Memory

and it's in the scent, Late August.

This is actually my best friend's perfume brand.

I'm super proud of her,

because this perfume is probably the best thing,

I've ever smelled.

It's just unbelievable.

It's like the most fresh, clean, everyday scent.

It's just heaven.

I'm just scent-obsessed,

'cause I do love when someone compliments your smell.

It's just the best compliment ever,

like don't compliment my outfit,

don't compliment how I look,

tell me I smell nice and we're gonna be best friends,

period.

So, I always keep Polaroids in my bag.

This one is disgusting.

If you look closely,

you can see there's chewing gum stuck to it.

But I can't get rid of it,

because it's a photograph of my daughter

and it's not even a good photograph,

it's the only one I have in my bag

and I need to carry on at all times.

I can pretend to be all like cool

and put together with this bag.

But this, actually, is what sums me up right here.

Not just one piece of chewing gum,

two pieces of chewing gum.

[gentle music]

Floss, for the gum disease.

You don't want pieces of granola stuck in your teeth.

You have like flossing sticks as well,

which are a bit more easier for on-the-go,

'cause I feel like it's not very demure and mindful

to be whipping out your floss

and like raveling it

and then, like it's just,

the other ones I've got, are a little bit more discreet

than this one,

but floss is always a good idea.

Don't neglect your gums.

I don't really carry a lot of beauty products,

because usually, day-to-day, I don't wear a lot of makeup.

But I do carry lip products.

I can't leave the house without a lip balm,

because I get the driest lips ever,

like you'll just see like chunks of skin,

like actually just falling off,

'cause they get that dry.

It's so disgusting.

So, this is the Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask,

which is an unbelievable lip balm

and then, a little lip combo.

I don't what shade this in, but this is really cool.

It's like you press it up like this

and then, it's like a really juicy,

almost like a bit of a lip balm,

which is my favorite kind of lip products.

'Cause I need the moisture, I'm a dry girly.

If I could fit one person in my bag,

it would definitely be my little girl.

'Cause I wish I could carry her

with me everywhere that I go,

even though I kind of already do,

but she wasn't invited today.

If I ever need to distract her for a minute,

I just let her have a free-for-all in this bag.

She loves opening things like this,

like if I left her loose with something like this,

you just know it's gonna be absolutely everywhere

and then, a nightmare to clean off.

But then, that's why you carry the trusty wet wipes.

[indistinct],

can't leave the house without [indistinct].

These two, hand-in-hand after lunch.

Okay, have a bit of a, oh, it's empty.

[Molly-Mae laughs]

Wait, hang on.

Where have they gone?

My crystal pouch has no crystals.

But they're all loose in my bag, hang on.

So, this was my crystal pouch.

Me and my friend Erin,

we were recently wandering around, grabbing some lunch

and there was just loads of crystals on this market stall.

And they all had like really gorgeous postcards behind them,

explaining what each crystal did.

Some of them were like,

This is gonna make you feel really positive

and like release like negative energy.

And we just read them and we thought, You know what?

I think we need a few of them.

I'm not really a crystal gal

and I can't sit here and say I'm overly spiritual.

I know much about star signs.

But I just thought these were really sweet

and I thought they're gonna bring me good energies.

This isn't really my aesthetic,

but it's sentimental and it's cute

and it reminds me of my friend Erin, so.

Up next, a snack, Fruit-tella.

I love sweets.

I'm a snacker and I always need a little pick-me-up.

I don't really leave the house without sunglasses.

I just love them all year round.

I really feel like they can just finish off an outfit,

or if you're having a bit of a day

where you don't feel so confident,

you can never go wrong with a pair of sunglasses.

And these ones are actually a present

from my manager Fran and they're Chanel.

And who doesn't love Chanel?

I'm gonna be honest,

I don't normally carry my sunglasses in a case.

That's just me being real.

This is very organized of me

and this is just because they're new

and because Fran's in the other room

and I don't wanna look,

like I'm scratching the sunglasses she just bought me,

peace and love.

When you do my job,

you've always gotta have charge on the phone

and also headphones.

And fun fact about me is that I don't mess around

with wireless headphones.

Because quite frankly, I'm not organized enough for that.

I'm never gonna charge them.

And if it comes down to AirPods,

like I will absolutely lose one

and I buy new ones and then I lose them.

And I just think, Why did I do that?

So, I just love that you don't have to charge them

and you can plug them straight in

and you have music instantly.

We're coming to the end.

Last two miscellaneous items in my bag,

eye patches, because I was on a shoot today

with British Vogue, which was very exciting.

So, I packed these.

And then, my driving license with a very odd picture of me.

I shall cover my address even though it is my old address.

That's my provisional driving license, I think.

Yeah, this is my provisional.

So, at this point, I hadn't actually passed my test.

Hang on a minute.

When was this?

That needs to actually be cut up and thrown away.

It's really pointless.

One thing

that me and my sister Zoe will always argue about,

is my driving,

like I actually won't let her in my car.

If you wanna start an argument with me and my sister,

just let me drive in front of her

and like you're bound to get one.

That's my bag, pretty much empty.

Normally, I do carry my vlogging camera.

But because Vogue's been doing it for me today,

I've not packed it.

But normally, I am vlogging

and editing my own vlogs as well,

which I love doing.

I've done it since the start of my YouTube career.

My vlogging equipment normally would actually also fit

in this bag.

In fact, your whole camera set would probably fit

in this bag

and the lights and every single person in this room.

Well, thanks for having me, British Vogue.

That's what was in my bag.

[low thuds]

And that's that.
