Lisa Edelstein is proud to carry fake purses. “I’m not innocent of having leather,” the vegetarian actress, married to artist Robert Russell, says of her collection, “but I love vegan-leather replacements.” The star of Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce (on Bravo, Tuesdays at 10 p.m.) lets Us peek into her faux crocodile-skin Raven Kauffman.
Fit to Be Tied
“There are usually a couple of discarded hair bands in there for the emergency ponytail. I don’t brush my hair because it’s curly. I leave it alone.”

“The script is this big thing! I read it the second I get it, because I’m obsessed. I like to know what’s happening.”
Chew On This
“Shazam, my schnoodle, is the only one with me when I’m filming in Vancouver, British Columbia. Tennis balls aren’t good for his teeth, so I got him this knitted toy star.”

“Sometimes there’s a pen in my bag. Very often there isn’t, because my husband takes it! My favorites are by Itoya because of the thick rubber grip. I handwrite my journal, so I love them.”
Overnight Shift
“I have a good thermos that I pour boiling water into at night. When I get up at 4 a.m., I have piping-hot tea waiting for me next to my bed.”
Also in Edelstein’s tote? A gold iPhone 6 with a black rubber case, an iPad Pro, a freestanding vinyl folded envelope for cards, an apple, a cellphone charger, Yerba Mate tea, Apple white earphones, black bags for dogs, two pairs of sunglasses, pumpkin seeds, almonds, a reusable water bottle, a cloth grocery bag, keys, an Israeli shekel key chain and cash.
