Along with the right outfit, it's those smaller elements that will finish off most of our ensembles perfectly. But getting the right accessories to work can be a task and a half!   What is it that us gals look for when choosing the right pieces? Could it be the look of them? The practicality of these pieces? After all you will be using these chic little bags and purses everyday so they have to go the distance, right? Well the good news is that you won't have to choose between all these great aspects! All the accessories at Rockabilly Pin Up have been hand picked to offer great Rockabilly style as well as usability. Take a look at these cute examples, new in at Rockabilly Pin Up.

Black and Leopard Lady Lux Bow Ipad case by Lux DeVille
While tablets are all the rage when it comes to staying online on the go- it's the how we carry these gadgets that is important too. Show your Ipad some love with the stunning Lady Lux Bow Ipad case. Made from a combination of a patent surface and leopard print faux fur, you can expect to have high style on the go. But this case is ultra practical too: It comes with a shoulder strap for when one is out and about. There is an inside and an outside pocket for the smaller articles like keys or a phone. The case is fully lined with the traditional Lux brand lining as well as padding to keep your tablet safe. It also includes a sturdy and secure zip that will keep your tablet and accessories firmly in place. This design also comes in patent black and lipstick red versions too.

Black Shiny Miss Lux Pouch from Lux DeVille


Speaking of 'smaller articles', it's always handy to have some spare change lurking around for emergencies. Most of us will unfortunately let that spare change fall to the bottom of the beg- it's totally frustrating when that happens right? Instead there is the option of keeping your loot in this very sweet little Lux DeVille pouch. Made from a shiny surface it features a very Rockabilly set of dice! The perfect size to accompany any of the Lux DeVille range too!
