All items are proudly handmade, and whatever your fancy, there’s bound to be some sort of strange yet fascinating oddity just for you.
Designer Kendra Reese favors materials like PVC, vinyl, leather, plastic, acrylic and metal, but also offers speciality items including fire-retardant armor, UV reactive and reflective designs.
For a cute and sweet look, opt for the PVC kitty headband, complete with detachable ears that can be switched out with alternate headbands. You’ll be definitely ready for next Halloween, or at least decked out in your best for your next Nekocon adventure.
Add to the look with a PVC collar, with options like a Steampunk key hole, D-ring accent or simple acrylic panel. Experiment with things by clashing colors like acid yellow, or play matchy-matchy with basic black. With choices of black or clear PVC, you’ll look striking with a spiked bracelet accessory added on. Layer them on for your next music festival or go for an understated vibe with only one.
Spice things up with a layered chest harness, complete with multiple O-rings, belted straps and studded accents. Create a beautiful contrast by wearing the “Bondage Strap Harness” paired with a loose, flowy maxi skirt for a sultry vibe. Keep things fresh and exciting by adding a little bit of naughtiness to your wardrobe.
The “Black Cyber PVC Bra Harness” features geometric mirror acrylic panels alongside an assortment of studs and straps. More of a spikes and studs kind of gal?

Sassy, unique and customized just for you, the handmade items of Misery & Co. are awaiting your perusal.

Pairing the bondage strap harness with a flowy maxi skirt is a styling idea I wouldn’t have thought of, but it makes sense for contrast. It keeps the look edgy without going full costume.
The Cyber PVC Bra Harness with mirror acrylic panels sounds visually striking, especially under club or festival lighting. UV reactive and reflective materials really elevate these pieces beyond basic accessories.
I like that they’ve been around since 2010 and still lean into handmade customization instead of mass production. The mix of PVC, acrylic, and metal really fits the fetish-meets-cosplay niche the article describes.
The detachable ears on the PVC kitty headband are such a clever touch, especially for people who want to swap looks without buying multiple pieces. That kind of modular design feels very practical for convention wear.
Stacking spiked bracelets or keeping it minimal with just one is a nice reminder that these pieces can scale with your comfort level. Not everyone wants to go full punk, even if they like the vibe.
I appreciate how the article highlights both loud options like acid yellow PVC and simpler black or clear pieces. It sounds like the brand caters to both bold statement wearers and people easing into the style.
The mention of fire-retardant armor caught my attention since that’s not something you see often in Etsy-based brands. It makes me think they’re actually considering performers’ real safety needs, not just aesthetics.
