Bags, Bags everywhere

posted in Accessories, New Releases, Now wearing... |

I know there are mixed views on handbags in SL - it’s not as if you can put anything in them after all. But if you’re like me, and realllllllly enjoy handbags offline (more like, obsessively collect them in my case), I think you’ll find it hard not to take a gander at these new sculpted hobo bags at Celestial Studios to add something unique to your overall look. Obviously, my favorite is the orange patent :p

There are 16 styles in all - from super bright patent leathers to buttery suedes and soft quilts. I found they go perfectly with the Slinky Stilettos from Maitreya, so you can be matchy-matchy if you like. Each bag is provided 4 ways - 2 posed holds by Torrid Midnight (left shoulder and hand) and 2 un-posed, good for if you’re already using an AO that works with handbags or I suppose if you want to flap your bag around as you fly or float? Each is $150L, which is very extremely generous given the quality and options.

See more holds, close-ups and full credits after the jump…

I have a collection of bags I turn to in SL from time to time, and these are - for me - the most detailed and realistically sized bags I have seen. Notice the metal closures, stitching and charms on this close-up of “Berry Cute.”

And another favorite of mine…the Leopard

It seems silly for me to post all the pictures here when you can see far better snaps on Starley’s blog here, but I hope you’ll check them out at Celestial Studios because there is no question, they’re worth it - yes, even if you “don’t do bags” in SL :D
