You name it, Dascha Polanco has it — even sesame seeds. “I swear it’s not from breadsticks,” jokes the Orange Is the New Black star, 36. The seeds, said to bring good fortune, are a talisman — and not the only one she carries.
Us gets lucky and peeks inside Polanco’s Madewell tote.
Caught Red-Handed
“A Russian lady told me once that [red is] good luck and brings more money. So I have a red Fendi wallet and another one from Louis Vuitton.”
Sole Mates
“I have three pairs of disposable flats. If I’m going out at night, I bring the silver or gold ones; if it’s during the day, I’ll just wear the black ones.”
An Open Book
“I’ve been carrying Dominicana by Angie Cruz [out September 3]. I’m the type who has to read when I’m on the go.”
Natural Inclination
“Since I started using natural deodorant I’ve tried a couple [brands], but PiperWai is the one. I really like it.”
Set in Motion
“Dramamine is a must because I get carsick — even when I’m not in a car.”
On the Market
“I love Bed, Bath & Beyond, so I have their discount card. Every time I go there, I need every gadget in the store.”
