It’s your girl T back again with another ‘What’s in her handbag?’ drop, and this time I hit up Soul Lounge in Clapham and Raffles in Chelsea to get you the goods.
Growing up, I was always told to never look in a lady’s handbag because it’s rude and you never know what you might find.
But that’s the point, no?
I wanted to see what random and unhinged things clubbers considered essentials for a Friday night out in London. So I hit the toilets of two different bars in south London, nosing my way into some lovely ladies’ bags, all for you guys.
Let’s take a trip, shall we?
