    There were some very nice BMR accessory sets that were meant to accessorize the BMR fashions. Today we'll look at 2 of them.

    1997 BMR Collection, Jet Set, stock #17571- An amazing group of plaid luggage pieces and coordinating purse accessories. The largest duffel bag even has an outside pocket to slide in the tennis racquet from the Court Favorite set (shown last week) with a small loop to catch the racquet handle! All the plaid pieces also match the plaid from the City Slicker set (also shown last week). The 2 main pieces have BMR luggage tags.

    The set also included traveling documents and a small eyelash brush.

    This picture includes the umbrella from City Slicker to show the matching plaids:

    A close-up of the tops of the luggage pieces to show the working zippers. The round plastic hat box case is just 2 pieces that snap together.

    To show scale a bit better, here is Barbie with the larger luggage piece, as well as the umbrella from City Slicker:

    This set is pretty amazing but while doing my research I found this link to an original promo shot that shows the round case done in fabric rather than plastic. Now wouldn't that have been just the bee's knees!

    1997 BMR Collection, Signature Series, stock #17675- This was part of some smaller boxed BMR accessory sets called Final Touches. This set includes a purse and tote bag with BMR logo pleather, an animal print scarf and matching shoes, gloves and sunglasses.

    The purse has a cute little gold oval BMR dangle.

    Here is Barbie in fashion pieces from Matinee Today accessorized with the Signature Series pieces:

    I couldn't resist a close-up of those BMR logo loafers. So cute!

    There were 3 more of these BMR Final Touches accessory sets. Something to look forward to for next week!
