But are they made out of Kyubey leather?

As a guy, I'm not ashamed to admit that I get jealous of all the gorgeous accessories that are made for girls... Man, I'd be so into some of these if it were socially acceptable.

I would like to see Soul Gem jewelry. Something 1:1 size made with solid 24k gold and gemstone.

And so Madoka Magica becomes Madoka Bagica. Laughing

Seriously though, Sayaka and Kyouko look amazing. Madoka is pretty average, and Homura and Mami are kinda meh. Funny that Mami is the smallest, if you know what I mean Razz

If you're in Sweden. Sweden stopped producing males a long time ago.

Is the bow in the necklace Madoka's? I'm trying to figure it out.

Not my cup of tea, but I think Sayaka's purse does an impressive job incorporating her design elements.

The earrings aren't for pierced ears? Out of curiosity, is that the norm for Japanese earrings?

Those purses and other goodies are sure to brighten the moods of Madoka Magica cosplayers. Smile

It is bit interesting that the Mami-themed purse is smaller than the others...

I like how the designs of these are so well-integrated that they wouldn't look weird even if you've never heard of Madoka before.

I normally don't like purses like that, but I would love to own one of those.

This is pretty well designed for anime-themed merchandise. They look "normal". Carrying them won't make you look like anime-crazed otaku. Plus, they still retain the original design in the purse. That's awesome.

From what I heard, Japanese girls don't usually have pierced ears. It has something to do with their culture, like... a lot of parents prefer to have their daughters "perfect". Basically most of them consider that tiny holes in the ears as a defect.
Although they don't really frown upon piercings as long it's not too many.

I love Sayaka's purse. I just wish it had a long strap as well.

Clearly this just means I would need to buy Kyouko's purse as well and take the long strap from that and put it on Sayaka's. (I will make my ship work!!)

But, seriously, I'm considering purchasing it. It'd be a great Spring purse. (And I only use big purses since I like to carry everything including the kitchen sink with me).

It does! http://www.super-groupies.com/products/detail.php?product_model_id=886

Though it's a shoulder strap, and not a cross-body strap.

It looks like the bow on the school uniform to me.

I'm in the right position that I've heard several complaints about how hard it is to find clip-ons and how my company should show them more often. A lot of people appreciate them when they're available.

The bags and purses are so cute!!! I'd kill for the Sayaka and Madoka purses! And maybe I'll buy the Kyouko one with my own Christmas money! I mean, I wear enough red and black that I can very easily use that as my main purse! Heck I bet my normal non Otaku friends would even like them!!!
