Cyclops Monster Shooting Star Bag Charm
Monsters don’t only surface on Halloween. Some live among us, they can be ones you face, the ones you befriend, and the ones you become.
This year’s one-of-a-kind Monster Shooting Star Charm turns that truth into form. Handcrafted in the USA, the piece features a dimensional star wrapped in vibrant turquoise marbled cowhide, streaked with fuchsia, navy, teal, lavender, maroon, and periwinkle, its surface rippling like watercolor caught mid-motion.
At its center rests a handmade pink monster eye, its open, dazed lid both watchful and human. The stare is uncomfortably real, unsettling yet impossible to look away from. From the tail of the star falls a cascade of nine leather fringes, each a different hue, each a fragment of personality. The hardware, rhodium-plated solid brass, gleams with clinical precision, a contrast to the creature’s organic imperfection.
This Monster doesn’t hide under the bed; it hangs in plain sight, a mirror to the strangeness we all carry. It’s not meant to charm, but to confront, to remind you that beauty and monstrosity often share the same face.
A singular creation. Never reproduced. Never forgotten.
