Artful gowns steal the spotlight at Untitled: Art Ball 2013

Transparency is key for a new stadium-friendly product line by Texas handbag brand Consuela. The new collection recreates the brand's top-selling silhouettes in a clear material that makes them easy to carry at venues with strict handbag policies and long security lines.

This is the first time the Austin-based company has produced clear bags, press materials say.

Each clear Consuela bag has a bit of personality thanks to a printed, opaque strip of material across the top and a colorful strap that's interchangeable for different carrying styles: wearing the bag crossbody, on the shoulder, or as a clutch.

Leather accents also elevate each piece, which contains interior pockets, a credit card holder, and a removable piece that gives the base structure or, when it's removed, allows the bag to collapse.

With three shapes and three patterns or colorways on the nine bags that comprise the collection. The largest style is 11 inches by nine and a quarter inches, with a three-inch depth. Two smaller styles are more clutch-sized.

The top material can show off a colorful paisley-like design, leopard print, or an understated cream leather to match the rest of the trim.
