This Dragon Purse Will Help Your GAME OF THRONES Withdrawal

Season 7 of Game of Thrones is officially behind us, and now we begin the long, arduous slog toward the show’s final season and it’s rumored premiere date in 2019–ugh. So while we wait to see how our friends from the Seven Kingdoms are going to fare in their final days on HBO, why not distract yourself with some epic, Thrones-inspired fashion? While we probably can’t rock some of the rad outfits Dany sported this season to the office or school, it’s pretty easy to show our Thrones love with an accessory like a handbag. To help a customer do just that, designer Mari of the handbag company Sent From Mars created a unique, hand-made bag that perfectly channels your inner Mother of Dragons. Take a look at this work of art!

On her website, Mari explains that it took a lot of work to make this custom piece look as amazing as it does. She not only worked with a uniquely shaped bag to incorporate the dragon scales on the side, but she had to really sweat the details, from individual scales, to the perfect shades of metallic purple and gold, to getting just the right sparkle in the dragon’s eye.

To ensure her dragon’s scales were not only beautiful and symmetrical, but in a shape that made sense for the bag, she started out with a sketch where she roughly drew out where each scale would be placed on the bag. After that, she searched for the perfect metallic, colored fabric to bring her vision to life. Every scale was individually placed, pinned, and sewn, and the eye was hand-painted to give it that magical, dragon-like sparkle. A closer look at that eye and the scales shows how much work went into making this beautiful bag.

We cannot imagine how much patience and time went into creating a beautiful bag like this, but the hard work and skill absolutely shows. Of course, this particular bag was a custom order, but the Sent From Mars store is chock full of amazing, geeky bags celebrating fandoms like Zelda, Star Wars, Back to the Future, and much more that will help you celebrate your favorite fandoms in your everyday wardrobe.

What do you think of this dragon bag? What are some of your favorite Game of Thrones-inspired fashion accessories for every day use? Tell us in the comments!
