Inside Dua Lipa’s Birkin bag, the tech gadgets that redefine chic

The launch of her third album Radical Optimism has made 2024 a good year for Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, Dua Lipa. Singles like Houdini, Training Season, and Illusion stood out in the album. After a successful concert in India, the English and Albanian singer sat down with Vogue, where she revealed essentials that she carries everywhere.  

Dua’s bag houses a lot of memories from her travels. From instant Polaroids to charms or souvenirs, Dua carries her essentials in a very chic-looking Birkin bag, which is a vision itself. As she rifles through her stuffed carryall, Dua pulls out some gadgets that are essential to her while traveling. 

Tech gadgets Dua Lipa cannot live without

Along with a lot of condiments and snacks, Dua’s handbag includes a few tech gadgets that are essential for her. Here’s a list of gadgets we spotted in her bag. 

1. Laptop 
2. Apple iPhone 
3. Wired Earphones 
4. Digital camera  

Laptop

The Houdini singer carries her MacBook wherever she travels. For someone who is almost constantly traveling for tours, she keeps her laptop in the bag. To personalise it, she has added a few stickers to make her MacBook stand out.

While traveling, Dua likes to learn languages like Spanish and French. She carries books and even attends Zoom meetings to learn the languages from a teacher. She even maintains notebooks for each language to practice and write notes. Not only that, but she is already fluent in English and her native tongue, Albanian. After learning Spanish and French, Dua is considering picking up Italian next.  

Apple iPhone

Dua’s iPhone is also a crucial part of her day-to-day life. Not surprising! While keeping her connected with her loved ones and her team, her iPhone is so important to her that she has added a glass protector for it. This makes her feel safer while using her phone and gives her peace of mind that the smartphone is not going to get smashed under any circumstance.  

This glass protector also has a privacy screen on it that helps her keep things confidential from the rest of the world. 

Wired Earphones

In a world where people are shifting from wired earphones to True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Earbuds, Dua prefers her wired headphones and doesn’t mind the tangled wire. She believes it saves her time and effort for charging them. “One less thing to charge!”

It is important to note that she carries not one but multiple wired earphones. Collected over time, her bag had at least three wired headphones. These earphones may not be the latest version, but she finds them to be very handy when she needs to attend calls. On her own admission, her multiple earphones make her feel like there are cables everywhere, but in a different way.

Digital camera

Despite carrying an iPhone, Dua also carries a digital camera to click photos. The camera is so essential that she has a name, Minnie. She feels it is a little janky but takes good pictures, making it a perfect party companion.  

To save the effort of transferring photos, Dua uses an SD card reader that can be connected directly to her phone, and she can retrieve the data almost immediately.  

These are some of the gadgets we spotted in Dua’s fancy bag, and clearly these items that are super important to her. From various sunglasses to her love of condiments, Dua Lipa sure doesn’t travel light.
