What we found in Erin Karpluk’s bag on the set of Being Erica

There are certain things we always imagined Erica Strange’s purse would contain: wigs for time-travel sleuthing, an Epipen for her hazelnut allergy, a copy of The Secret of Now. But it turns out the real-life Erica, Erin Karpluk, sticks to the necessities. Check out what we found while rifling through her handbag.

The bag

Pen

Heart-shaped compact. “It was a gift when I was on the show Godiva’s in the mid-2000s.”

Trident Layers gum

Rescue Remedy relaxation spray

Keys (to a home, not the future)

Banana Boat sunscreen

Bumble and Bumble hairspray

Skoah hair serum

Skull-embossed makeup bag

Lipstick

Eye drops. “I just had eye surgery, so I need to carry these around all the time.”

Grey wallet with gold studs

Purse Saver, a hook to hang at restaurants and meetings

Oakley sunglasses

Check out our tour of the Being Erica set where we got to chat with Erin Karpluk, Adam Fergus and Sebastian Pigott about the fourth and possibly final season »
