As a Broadway star and mother of two young children (son Ever, 5, and daughter Emery, 1), Lea Michele needs a bag that can keep up with her busy lifestyle.
“I’ve been using a Naghedi handbag. My husband got me this for Mother’s Day a few years ago, and they make it in so many different colors and sizes. Right now I have more things in it than humanly possible, but it stretches really well,” the “Glee” actress tells Page Six Style.

Michele’s currently in rehearsals for the upcoming revival of “Chess” — in which she’ll star alongside Aaron Tveit and Nicholas Christopher — and in the throes of back-to-school season, too.
“We have a lot of help,” she says of juggling it all. “The best thing in the world is to just have lots of support, especially from family. Also, I try to get as much sleep and take as good care of myself as I possibly can. It’s so cheesy, but they say to put the oxygen mask on yourself first, so I really try to just make sure that I am eating well, sleeping well and staying hydrated so that I can be there for my children and present for my job.”
With so much on the line, keeping herself and her family healthy is key — which is why Michele recently teamed up with Lysol for its HERE for Healthy Schools initiative.
“Having children of my own, I find it so important to encourage healthy habits!” she says. “It was so wonderful meeting young children and speaking to them about how to stay healthy during the school year so they don’t miss out on the moments that matter.”
Below, six essentials Michele stashes in her bag for long days on the go — from the matcha packets she’s “obsessed” with to the “perfect” purse organizer.
GoMacro MacroBars
“These are a lifesaver when I’m running around and need something clean and filling. They’re delicious, and I know exactly what’s in them.”
Lysol Disinfecting Wipes To-Go Pack
“I always keep these on hand — they’re perfect for wiping down surfaces when I’m on the go to help prevent the spread of germs when traveling or in shared spaces.”
Mountain Valley Spring Water
“I always feel better when I hydrate properly, and this water tastes incredibly pure — like an instant reset from the inside out.”
Shani Darden Cleansing Serum
“A skincare staple. This face wash is gentle enough for daily use but still deeply cleanses without stripping my skin. I love how refreshed and hydrated my face feels after using it.”
Pique Sun Goddess Matcha Green Tea
“I’m obsessed with these. They give me that calm, sustained energy I need without the crash — and they mix easily anywhere.”
Béis The On-the-Go Essential Case
“The perfect travel or diaper bag organizer. I love how sleek and structured it is — it keeps all my must-haves (from snacks to serums) in one place, without looking bulky.”
