Real-life Mooncloth Bag (and Horde earrings)
Yup, it's a real-life Mooncloth Bag. SpikeHeadDesign over on Etsy has turned the 16-slotter's icon into an actual, real-life bag. Instead of actual Mooncloth, though (there are no real Moonwells on Earth, unfortunately), it's made of corduroy, cotton, a few buttons and velcro, and some kind of lace on the side (though I know my Shaman would never actually use something with lace on it, so they must all be different). Looks terrific, anyway, and it should for that price: $180.00. Still, for a handmade, one-of-a-kind bag, can't go wrong. The creator says that Netherweave is next, and it'll be exciting when we get to "Gigantique."
Alice Taylor of the great Wonderland blog has also been dutifully keeping up with WoW stuff on Etsy: she found these great Horde earrings that have unfortunately sold out (though this other design is still available). Could be the perfect gift for the jewelry-adorned WoW player in your life.
Thanks, Jaynnie!

I'm sorry, that looks like something I made in home-ec back in grade school for a whopping $15... not $180.

Well then you should go into buisiness in competition with her. If you can make it for cheaper, people will buy it for cheaper and you'll turn a better profit in volume.
God I love capitalism.

Problem is no one is going to buy it in the first place. it has no strap. it's a bad color for men. since when do men use bags? and it looks terribly bad for any use outside of a small collection.

$180 for that home ec project - 1,200 gold for a bag is starting to look good. : P

Blah. Not worth that, even close to that, and it doesn't really look like a mooncloth bag anyway....not much detail on the front.
Travis Green Jun 23rd 2008 3:15PM
Yeah.... $180, you've got to be kidding me. Like previous posters have said; it looks like a home-ec project.

Shenennigans. I can't fit 40 potion vials, two shields and plated chestpiece - let's not forget my fishing pole - in that bag as I can on the real one
If I could, thouth, I'd definately pay $180 for it...

If you had that stuff to carry around, you'd probably be able to afford to shell out for this bag anyway. :P

As a sewer, I'll be the first to say that corduroy is not the cheapest fabric in the world... But it's not velvet or a beautiful 100% wool. Heck, it's not even silk.
Assuming this person didn't bother to wait for a sale and bought the most expensive corduroy at the store I would say that the raw materials for this project cost her $30 max. For me, adding on the cost of labor, this would probably make this a $60 bag.
Way way overpriced. If I ever want something like this I'll definitely be making it myself.

The creator states that it "is my original design idea so please do not copy it."
Blizz might have something to say about that.

*looks at "real mooncloth bag"*
*looks at WoW mooncloth bag*
Gee. Those are identical. I can't see a single thing I'd change, at all. Ever. Nope.
Blackhorn Jun 23rd 2008 4:12PM
Actually, maybe I'd put a stuffed bunny in the side pocket.
.. or a few pencils with poofy pom pom on the erasers.
Classy.

Shut up!

when they make a 28 slot Spellfire bag, I will buy it, till then, PFFFT!
BTW, my Ex-GF says she would "heart" a Netherweave bag. ^^
Aislinana Jun 23rd 2008 4:33PM
While the bag is merely interesting, the fact that there is someone making money off Blizzard-branded Horde/Alliance icons is an actual legal issue, I would think.

Looks more like an 18 slot bag, what with that extra pocket stuck on the side.
