My new Vendula Sherlock Bella bag I got in the sale arrived today - I thought it would be much later bc of the Royal Mail strike. :-) So let's have a little celebratory contest! :-)
Post a detective HA design. Can be from a series, movie or your own fantasy. Tell us a little bit about your character, please, too.
All items are allowed, you don't have to own them. Please make a new HA for this contest and don't reuse old ones and please depict scenery.
There'll be three winners who can choose a prize out of the listed ones in order of placing.
[item=Private Eye: Arrival]
The contests ends Wednesday 26th of July at midnight Subeta time.
Have fun creating!

Congrats on the bag! I wish they would have had the one I like on sale... :(
The Anchor Tavern is a very new design, I am sure it'll be on sale in winter / after boxing day perhaps? I know they do a winter sale, too. Lurking for The Botanist and Surf Shack, LOL. And perhaps Flower Shop (should I win the lottery, LOL).
I have to say, the bag looks even better in RL than on the website and the color is not a plain red but a violet with a reddish hue, very special. And all bags come with a smart pink dust bag and the shop front bags have additional charms, too. I am hooked, LOL.

So I did an original and made a little story about her, I hope you enjoy :)
Outfit Not Found
It was a cold, dark and rainy night in the city as private detective, Sarah, sat in her office going over old files. She had been hired to solve a string of murders that had gone cold years ago. As she sifted through the paperwork, she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. She had been working on this case for months, and still had no leads.
Despite the gloomy weather, Sarah knew she had to keep pushing forward. She was determined to bring justice to the families of the victims. As she sat at her desk, she began to think about the case from a different angle. She realized that she needed to start looking at the evidence in a new light.
With a fresh perspective, Sarah began to piece together the clues. She spent countless hours pouring over old witness statements and police reports. Slowly but surely, she began to make connections that she had missed before.
One day, Sarah stumbled upon a new piece of evidence that she knew could break the case wide open. She followed the lead and found herself face to face with a suspect. It was a tense moment, but Sarah remained calm and collected. She knew that she had to be careful not to spook the suspect.
As she questioned the suspect, Sarah noticed a subtle change in their demeanor. It was the break she had been waiting for. She pressed harder, and eventually the suspect broke down and confessed to the murders. It was a huge victory for Sarah and the families of the victims.
Sarah felt a sense of relief wash over her as she closed the case. She knew that she had made a difference in the world, and that her hard work had paid off. Despite the cold, dark and rainy nights she had spent working on the case, Sarah felt a warmth in her heart knowing that justice had been served.
I think the Mini Grace Bag is only 4 x 6 inch. Is this still too large?

Outfit Not Found Inner city is my beat.

Outfit Not Found janna prefers to investigate up close and personal - as close as she can get to eavesdrop and photograph. she tries her best to blend into her surroundings while keeping an air of mystery about her! she always has her notebook handy if she hears anything pertinent to the case. luckily her pup allows her to stand around for ages unnoticed; she only has to say "stubborn girl! how long are you gonna make me wait here before you continue your walk" in earshot of anyone paying attention to her and she's in the clear.
Last day for this contest, my friends! Find your inner detective!

Meet Allison and her partner Mars. The duo is famous for finding clues others have missed, and they have a soft spot for families in need. If you see them in your neighborhood and have a mystery to solve, they're always looking for a new case.
Desperately seeking:
