Ending twitter dump with itty bitty babby bag
>>8876022
I love this! He's one of my husbands too, I would have never thought to try a coffin bag.
Almost done with my itabag! Just want to fill in the smaller gaps but overall im pretty happy with it
>>8876470
omg that's really cute!!!
>>8876470
Where did you get the backpack? Is it the same one from the link in the last thread (wego)?
>>8876487
yeah its a wego bag! I got it off taobao not sure why I did that but its definitely legit.
>http://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00002W9F
I think it would be nice if there were rings on the side to attach stuff to. I have so many plushes but I put them anywhere...
>>8876485
Thanks!
I'm new to Itabags; are Western characters frowned upon? I'd love to make one for my waifu but I have enough merch of some western characters I could practice with those...
>>8876597
It's fine, there are people who made bags for video game characters, actors and kpop idols. Itabags have no limits.
>>8876470
Looks great, anon! I like the little ribbon you added on top.
>>8876597
Obligatory Pearl anon pic.
Yeah there are bags and ita-anything for video game characters, western TV shows, comics, Disney, kpop, even maids from maid cafés...as >>8876615
said, there are no limitations, really.
>>8876012
>YYH OTP bag
All my yes.
Those anyone have a picture of the white/cream heart shaped bag? It had the character but also a fair amount of lace and other decorations.
>>8877697
I thought I had it but I don't. I know it was a Diabolik Lovers bag though.
>>8877697
It's Subaru from Diabolik Lovers
>>8877720
Anyone else really want to see what the rest of that shrine/room looks like? Because I think it's going to be like pic related. I ended up following this person on Twitter just because of their updates on their collecting.
>>8877720
Thank you so much!
God that bag is so perfect
>>8877730
Oh god I need that link
>>8877817
Here anon: https://twitter.com/rikuka_tw
They also have a massive badge collection.
>>8876492
Man, I wish we could do a group order on these bags. They are perfect for ita bags. I am not seeing anything from Wego I want (or fit into) right now though...
Found a tote bag version too:
http://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00002W9E
>>8878032
hmm if there's serious interest in doing a GO i'd be happy to host one.i'm based in california if that matters? I'm already planning to order another bag so i could just add everyone's orders to it.
>>8878122
>>8878032
I would totally be down to do a group order. I was gonna order one through FJ sometime this week to get with the rest of my itabag stuff but if people are gonna do a GO I'd be down to join it. (esp if you're gonna do it through tenso, I don't think they have so many fees as FJ?) i'm based in massachusetts
https://vine.co/v/ivqJbgP3j77
Had to share this because it's both a horror dream come true and utterly hysterical.
>>8878264
And the aftermath.
>>8878267
I hope they make an itabag shrine for this keychain masterpiece.
>>8878267
holy shit, topkek
>>8878264
I saw this being shared on FB. I couldn't stop laughing at work.
>>8878264
Amazing.
>>8878267
Every time I see this picture and/or the video, I cant stop laughing for a solid 10 minutes. This figure series is kinda shoddily made, I have Kenma and Shouyou and while Shou's head sits in there pretty firmly, Ken's was actually so loose it wouldn't sit in there properly without me super gluing it in.
>>8878122
I'd be interested in the group order! Also from Cali.
I'll post some bags I came across while I was looking for inspiration for my hakuoki bag
>>8879920
And one that's still in progress!
>>8878865
Oh dear. I literally just got the Noya figure. But, I won it for $12 so I didn't really break the bank over it.
>>8878122
Third, also from CA!
Pearl anon here!!! Got a bunch of new stuff from ALA recently so I'm planning to do another shoot with all of them again! Planning on ordering another batch of pins since we've gotten two Stevenbombs since the last time.
Thinking about starting a Jasper collection since my thirst for her is unquenchable, but Pearl is already killing my wallet and she's priority waifu.
Also, thought I'd mention that we recently adopted two cats! Named them Jasper and Pearl HAHA
>>8880077
I can't even bring myself to utter "Pearl's my girl" anymore because I'll just think about you and how much my affection pales in compared to yours.
One might even call you
Mother of Pearl
>>8880123
S T O P
Has anyone been to an itabag meetup at a con or in general? I'm curious how they turn out.
Does anyone have the photo of someone's nails with a bunch of kurobas pins on it?
>>8880077
i love the idea of hanging pearl charms on a pearl necklace, so smart but still relevant
gonna do the same thing as I did in the last thread and ask for pics of some DIY itabag stuff you guys have made!
I'm in the process of making a completely diy bag myself, so I'd really like to see other people's work and process.
>>8880077
Glad to see you're back, Pearl-anon! Can't wait to see the new shoot.
>>8880142
Not yet but there are some planned for the upcoming months..
>>8878129
>>8879795
>>8880041
nice, there seems to be a good amount of interest! I can use FJ or my personal ss (latter may be cheaper contingent on volume of our order). i believe the backpacks will fit in a flat-rate box, so that should also simplify some domestic shipping concerns.
dropping my email so we can make this happen- i can send over lots of positive feedback as a buyer/seller/trader before anyone commits!
Jojo bag anon here, I got a pretty big bag haul in this week. I ordered a few more straps, and my new POMMOP tote came in from AmiAmi! I'm so excited to properly display everything, as well as not lose anything/get it dirty.
I'm really only sad now because this bag is getting close to max, I guess I'll be a bit more picky with what I buy for it now.
>>8878122
>>8878122
>>8878129
Okay guys. I am the person who mentioned the group order. My throw away email is [email protected].
I will do it all through my normal paypal so you're covered if I mess up.
Lets get some cute ita bags!
>>8880456
I love your bag! Have you read the manga? Since so far it looks kinda anime-centric, if yes you should add some merch from the other parts!
Where did you get the can badges?
I'm also adding to the jjba merch I already have, I was planning a dialovers bag but I think I'll do JoJo first. Still waiting for some storenvy stores to open again after cons to get stuff...
>>8880532
Thank you! I started to read the manga! I'm sure I'll have another Jojo's bag eventually when I'm done with it all. Polnareff is my husbando so I kinda just went with a lot of Stardust Crusaders in the hopes I can find more Polnareff merch. I'd love to have a bag specific to him one day!
Can badges I got from eBay! I just searched like Jojo's badges or something.
Good luck on yours, anon!
anybody here have the "pink-red" zakkamart tote? or seen pics of it specifically anywhere? I want to make sure it's the right shade of red before I commit to getting it.
>>8880123
Oh my god, no. That's makes me feel so awkward HAHA
>>8880318
Yeah! The string of pearls was actually the only thing I had that would be able to hold my charms and it worked out perfectly.
>>8880387
Thanks!!! I've got some new outfits too! I made a Pearl themed seifuku and Im currently working on a kigurumi of her space suit. Its my first time satin stitching, didn't know about the stabilizer paper so the stitches are all curvy, but still feels good to have it.
>>8880806
>Pearl themed seifuku
That is adorable as hell! I only hope my Rin (Free!) themed school coord is half as cute.
>>8879898
oh god. I'm making a hakuoki bag too and when I was browsing yja just to see what was up there, I saw that closetchild was selling a heisuke bag from gouk, went to the cc site and bought that as fast as I could.
I noticed there is also a bag for Toshizo:
http://www.closetchildonlineshop.com/product/93475
someone get it!
It's not quite a rosette (or is it?), but I have a lot yarn and went for it, especially since it was pretty boring on its own. Also glad I had star beads, so if I can track down the same keychain of the other two characters for my bag, I can make a matching set!
I'm also thinking of pouring resin over it since the sticker looks pretty beat...
>>8880984
this is absolutely adorable, anon!
>>8880984
Can you do some sort of tutorial of how to do the rosette? It looks so cute and it honestly looks better than the ribbon rosettes (it's hard to work with ribbon).
>>8880806
Handsome Jack anon here, stabilizer really just helps with pulling but I am sure yoir at in stitching is lovely! Did you do padded or just straight? Your dedication always inspires me hot damn
>>8881066
Not that anon, but just look for crochet or knit flowers and make two sizes it seems
>>8876492
Do you have the taobao link?
>>8880899
Good find! Mine just has one of the group promotional shots because I can't decide between Heisuke and Saito as my #1 husbando.
Teeny tiny dump

>>8881206
>>8881212
>>8881213
>>8881230
Even for an itabag this one just looks bad.
End of dump.
>>8881231
i think that that one's supposed to be kind of a joke. i agree though, the lack of size variation and the base bag is kind of jarring.
>>8881231
I know what the point of this one is but even still having this huge myriad of buttons does make it kind of clear it's just a bunch of stolen images and has no visual harmony or gestalt.
>>8881212
My husbando
>>8881231
I like the base bag, the buttons could be better of they were higher quality
>>8881417
>>8881231
The bag looks like it could be good for a Lisia bag or maybe one of the SideM or UtaPri guys. For Jyushimatsu I feel like it needs something purple or black fake leather with studs.
>>8881153
Yeah from here

>swear to god theres at least one new piece of osomatsu merch up for PO every single day.
Starting my first bag! Not really sure about this arrangement but have some more merch on the way! All the minifigs keep flipping backwards too. Any suggestions?
>>8881475
Omg yes!!! I love this, anon. I love Kanji and glad someone is giving him ita love! This looks really good!
If you're having trouble with your figures, maybe add a pin back to them if you don't mind ruining them? Or perhaps like magnets? Kek idk
>>8881475
For the mini figures I actually saw someone who used thread to basically sew over the middle of the figure to hold it in place?
How long is the usual wait time for artsmoo products? I was thinking of making an ita-shirt but the con's pretty soon and I'm not sure if it'll make it in time.
>>8881466
BLESS YOU ANON. I've been after that royal blue bag for AGES but it sold out on the Wego site so I was really upset. I can finally redo my Blackwall bag! Backpacks are way easier to carry for me than totes so this is a godsend!
>>8881546
For my experience, a pretty good amount of time. I ordered a phone case one time and it took about a month in total for it, from ordering to getting it. Ordered a set of buttons at the end of January, shipped on Feb. 11th, still haven't gotten them in yet. If your con is less than a month or so away, you're too late.
>>8881509
I like this idea! You could even use fishing line for that so it's transparent and not noticeable.
>>8881475
Oh my god, I want to meet you one day and hug you and never let you go Kanji is love Kanji is life
>>8881561
A month? Geez that's way longer than I expected. Thanks for the info, think I'll skip out on the upcoming con then.
>>8881582
Yeah, they're in China so it's a long process.
Sorry to disappoint, anon! At least you know for the future now.
>>8881475
Love it!
Makes me wanna make an Adachi/Yu one. Didn't realize Persona had so much merch.
>>8881475
Omg anon! I really love the idea of the sleeping mask as a focal point! Can I ask where you got it?
>>8881475
oh my god, anon, why didn't i think of a persona ita bag?! this is tempting me to make one for trash boyfriendo yosuke
>>8881475
Unnnnf great job on the Kanji bag! Love it so much!!!
I'm just getting on with my Ace Attorney one, need a whole bunch of safety pins!
>>8881803
Did adachi anon have a bag, and is there a pic of it by any chance? I want to see it.
>>8881834
Yes! And thank you, its the best badge, friend makes the best art for AA! Got too excited when the bag arrived in the mail! Finally have a space to showcase all the lawyers.
>>8881854
Got a link because that art is fantastic. Was at a con this weekend and pretty disappointed by all the buttons of just character profiles looking slightly to the left.
>>8881831
Aah I'm working on an ace attorney bag too, anon! I'm trying to do it for just one character though so I've been ordering a lot from artsmoo.
I love how neatly arranged your bag is and props for DGS.
>>8881843
as far as I can remember, they didn't posted any pics, but did share links to taobao stores with merch. i have them saved if you're interested!
>>8881910
It is tempting, but I recently dropped so much cash on Haikyuu shit. Feel free to link for others though.
>>8881922
search term for persona is 女神异闻录. there's lots of fandoms with merch at these stores too!
>https://shop106001579.world.taobao.com/

Reading this reminded me of when I went to a con last year.
>huge artist alley
>friend is total awesome and points out Tiger&Bunny stuff for me
>two booths out of whole room
>one booth has good art but Kotetsu is pretty much white, no Lunatic stuff
>other booth has not so good art and Lunatic merch but it's so awkward looking and badly proportioned
>tfw I had to walk away from both empty handed
not sure if anyone's interested, but just finished my first tries with shrink plastic charms for my bag! I used clear plastic, then sanded and painted the backside with white acrylic paint, since I'm doing a monochrome bag. The top-right one didn't come out right since I didn't flatten it properly, so it looks a bit wonky, but the other two came out pretty well. The chibi head is drawn by me, and the other two I traced from manga caps! Using shrink plastic was pretty easy, but it's really important to flatten them with, for example, a heavy book straight after taking them out of the oven.
Now I'll just have to sew my bag and wait for stuff to come in the mail! tomorrow I'm thinking of making a Kakihara plushie for my bag.
>>8882395
Damn these look great anon! I love it, I'll have to give it a try too
>>8882395
that looks pretty cool! I wanna try it now.
>>8882395
The plastic is supposed to flatten itself in the oven after awhile. Did you just put the sheet through the printer?
>>8882413
>>8882420
>>8882450
Thanks for the compliments guys! ;;
Mine didn't flatten for some reason? The one I didn't properly flat ended up bumpy and bended. I might have had some cheaper plastic, don't know. And no, I traced the pictures with a permanent marker and colored them in! The printable plastic was much more expensive and I knew I was doing only black and white, so the plastic that you draw on worked well for me.
>>8882478
Anon, I love how they turned out! I love manga style/monochrome stuff, I can't wait to see how your bag turns out.
Did you buy the shrink plastic online by any chance? I'm also European and they don't sell it where I live.
>>8882485
Thank you! I love that stuff too! I actually bought it from a local craft store unfortunately.. I did look for it online and found some on ebay with shipping from UK though!
>>8882395
Those look really good!
>>8882492
Oh, do you (or anyone) know what the kind/brand that you can draw on is called? Or can you draw on any, really? I never used that stuff!
Sorry for off topic, have some inspiration (I love this bag!)
>>8882395
These are great! So cool, anon! Thanks for the tips. I'm excited to see your finished bag!
I want to start a new bag for Vega from Street Fighter but he has literal no merch. Maybe I'll use this technique!
>>8882547
Okay, that is seriously creative.
>>8882547
I think that the basic shrink plastic is the one that you can draw on, and then there's separate ones for printing! Like if you search for shrink plastic, the results will be 99% the regular, drawable one and 1% the printable one.
Also damn that's an amazing bag!
Browsing through this thread made me really want to make my own itabag.
Can itabags have a design? Like planning out buttons and stickers so its still ugly but not "let me just stick 30 of the same exact buttons in a row and tack on a plush"
>>8882547
Don't know what this series is but that looks awesome.
>>8882560
Thanks so much for the help! I'll try this soon.
Yeah, I love Litchi Hikari Club, hope that with the live action movie and stuff we get more merch haha, there are those figures announced at wonfes that aren't all that great but, well, it's something.

Friend is based in Australia though and doesn't have an online shop iirc.
>>8881898
Thanks!! Please do take pictures of your bag when you are done too!!
Am planning to get a JP 3ds to play DGS, since there doesn't seem to be any news of its localization.
>>8881930
Finding any merch is difficult!! Hopefully the anime in April will give the series a boost.
>>8883003
Different anon, but I knew that badge was from chancake! The art style is just that unique.
>>8883003
Hoping for tons of AA merch in April too. The anime is coming out just in time for my birthday too!
>>8881111
Can you please post your Handsome Jack stuff? I am really interested in seeing it!
>>8882630
Thanks senpai, now I know what to read next!
Also I will dump some bags I found in twitter and end it with one of the most amazing room ever.

It says Show by Rock anon
http://show-by-rock.wikia.com/wiki/Dropout_Sensei
>>8883506
I like how this person deco'd their buttons. It looks really nice.
>>8883500
Is it Show By Rock? The artstyle seems similar.
>>8883507
Thanks anon
>>8883509
>>8883518
Now to end this dump with someone's affection and love going above and beyond
>>8883521

Forgot to mention that I believe this character is from Marginal Prince in case anyone wants to know.
>>8883537
Really? Damn thanks for correcting me, google translate gave me the wrong name then.
>>8883518
That band (the characters you were asking about) isn't actually in the show by rock anime as far as I know. They're in the game tho, and the animes having a second season soon.
>>8882395
Moi. :^D
>>8883282
Congrats anon! It's like a birthday present for you.
>>8883003
Tfw your fav is Athena so the anime won't help with the lack of merch, I'll prob snap a pic when artsmoo finally send my order.
I hope you get to play it, anon! DGS is really good, I considered an Asougi itabag since DGS has good merch too but like all AA merch they sold out so fast..
>>8883493
Ah. I was wondering when I'd see a bag for the Touken Ranbu's version of Saint Seiya dude.
>>8883500
>>8883503
>>8883506
It's a band from Show By Rock!! which is a mobile rhythm game where you join a band and try to be the best in Midi City while also beating up monsters trying to steal the 'souls' from band members. There's also an anime.
Pic related is my fave band, ShinganCrimsonz

>>8883985
This is wonderful.
>>8884070
There's a musical out now too!
Wanted to update with my bag atm since I've updated it a lot since my last post here.
I had purchased one of the clear bags from the link that used to be in the sticky (?), but it was extremely blocky and would sit higher up on my arm than a tote (and it ended up breaking) so I scraped it. Haven't lost anything (safety pin method) and it's more comfortable, but I "clink" a lot.
I originally had all the charms separated by series, but it looked really strange, so recently I started separating them by type (rubber, acrylic, etc), and liked the organization more. It's a pretty liberal bag anyway.
Have had inner debates about making separate bags for my waifus and color-coding the extra series, and having all the bags be a different type of bag (tote, satchel, clutch).
Cgl spoiler, I wanna make an Ichimatsu bag too for shits and giggles.
>>8884113
I like the mix too for some reason. Maybe it's because they're mostly charms? Also except for the green haired girl you have a triadic red, yellow, blue color scheme.
Thinking of applying for an itabag panel at my local con. Should we try to start a Google slides presentation or spreadsheet of some kind that we can all use for such panels? We can the just make personal copies and tweak them for our different languages, adding our own stuff local flavors etc.
>>8881556
Good lord, I'm trying to get that WEGO bag in blue from a bunch of different taobao sellers but the agent I'm using keeps telling me that the sellers told them they're sold out.
I've had two orders cancelled already. Hopefully third time will be the charm.
If anyone can point me into the direction of a blue heart window bag that I can actually purchase, I'll be grateful forever.
>>8884156
We are doing a group order from Japan if you want to get in.
>>8884162
did anyone email?
I'm calianon, I want to order by the weekend- but I haven't received any emails from other anons yet
>>8882395
I tried this today using your advice, anon! I'm so pleased with how these came out! I didn't print these ones on, I traced images from the manga with a fine-point sharpie. I also painted the backs white.
I'm so excited to make more! The Joseph I'll probably give to my boyfriend, and I'll keep Polnareff for myself. Polnareff is a little too narrow for a pin-back like I intended, so I might make him into a rosette!
Should I go for those cutesy chunky plastic chains for my bag or metal? Most of my things are handmade so I think plastic might look better, but I have no clue where to look for it.
>>8883282
The greatest birthday present!
>>8883869
Oh man, I actually had a D4 Athena rubber strap for agessss and only just sold it to a local buyer!! Would have loved to contribute to your bag!!! Damnnnnn
Ohhh now you got me too excited for DGS! Amiami has the DGS D4 rubber straps for preorder if you did not know about them!!
Also just an update after getting smallish safety pins from daiso and pinning everything up, its a bit cramped but hell I'm just too pleased with it to care
>>8884791
(the anon here) Those look really great!! Well done! I'm still thinking of what to do with the ones I made.. I might make them into pins, or just sew on my bag, I'll have to see what works best when I get my pins
>>8885045
Congrats on the pinning! It's looking really good.
>tfw all I can do is stare at my eBay purchase history and will my DIY supplies to arrive faster
I bought two chains, some nautical charms, and jump rings to transfer all my Free! merch onto the chains but it looks like they won't get here until mid-March at the earliest.
>>8885424
I feel you anon... Ordered some brooches a few days ago and the estimated arrival is in April....sigh
>tfw your bid gets cancelled again
I always have a max bid way, way higher than these listings end at, too. stop being so fucking xenophobic, japan.
what's the most extreme/ridiculous thing you've done for an itabag, gulls? disproportionate costs count.
>>8885535
Sucked a dick for a rare Comiket exclusive can badge.
Sorry, someone had to make that terrible joke.
The most ridiculous thing I've done so far is make two orders for merch in the same week because "You know, I really don't have enough as it is.." and it was all from the same shop.
That or paid 3x the cost for a tiny figure keychain in a dealers room.
>>8885535
This is a fun question! I don't have many interesting anecdotes, but..
>paid $40 for ONE button
(my deepest shame, but i do love it)
>blinded by husbando merch overload and failed to realize I was accidentally overcharged by a 3-digit number
>ended up having to take a train for two hours to go back to the store at opening the next day to get it fixed
>played/thought about a claw machine for hours and hours until i got a limited clear bag
>tfw never exerted so much effort even in school
>>8885535
when i wear my ita-outfit i put a canadian flag bar in my [spoiler]apadravya[/nospoilersoncgl] because my husbando is delicious canadian bacon
>>8885565
>played a claw machine for hours
I am a total claw machine addict, anon. I salute you and you have all my jelly right now.
>tfw my greatest weeb dream is to go play claw machines in Japan
>>8885491
The reaction the Japanese have to the idea of shipping something out of Japan must be their equivalent of "I just can't even you guys"
>see tons of rare animate cafe button of husbando on twitter trade groups
>ask "do you ship to US?" In japanese every time the person posts them
>no response ever

where can i find some of these twitter groups? new to twitter, can i search it?
i think they just don't want to deal with international shipping and buyers, i guess the extra work isn't worthwhile for most of them. it's silyl and i don't agree with it, but sometimes i understand where they are coming from since i've encountered a fair amount of annoying international buyers.

Aw man. Ordered some inkjet shrink paper off Amazon, anxiously awaiting its arrival cause I really wanna do this, the results look really cool. Perhaps I should've ordered the drawing kind too, to experiment but I guess I can just buy it if the other stuff isn't working out. Or can I draw on the inkjet paper too?
Polnareff anon here again! I jumped on the trend of those heart cut out backpacks and I think I'm going to transfer my stuff to it and attach the Iggy back I have here as a little companion bag or something. What do you guys think? I'll probably use my current bag as the backing for the heart cut out. I'm also waiting on a ton of of other pins + ita clothing from arts bovine in the mail.
I also stumbled across a custom name necklace website where you can have acrylic Jewlwery of a name of your choice (+added charms if you want) printed, I got a polnareff one with a heart charm attached. I can review it when it gets here if anyone is interested!
Another question, does anyone have any idea on decorating the outside of the backpack?
>>8884791
I love those anon! I'll probably make some Polnareff ones myself!
>>8885045
This is so great anon, I can't wait to see what you do with it!
This thread has convinced me I need to pick up one of those heart backpacks when I'm in Japan - I know this is totally not the point of an itabag but I still like how they tend look a bit more put-together and toned down while still expressing the love. Considering doing a Joseph bag. I wish there was decent official merch for Diego Brando but he doesn't even have a proper fig yet.
>>8885696
>>8885698
I agree! Go for it anon! I really wish Jojos hard more buttons, pin charms ect in general.
(Pic related is a bag I wanted to use to make a Weather Report itabag but alas he has literally NO merch..)
Yes, I'm a fan of these backpacks! Theyre so cute and I like wearing backpacks instead anyway.
>>8885647
> acrylic names
please do!
>>8884156
someone posted this last thread
has anyone bought these from ebay? the seller feedback is pretty positive, I'm very tempted to buy one
but I might just end up saving for a WEGO one
>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japan-Wego-Harajuku-Girls-Kawaii-Bling-Transparent-Love-School-Bag-Backpack-Gift/161913524388?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33876%26meid%3De8b64b653bca4a25b545dca1f8c6cf9e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D201482110732
>>8882395
That looks so cool, Anon! I want to try it now!
>>8885535
buying a lot of 200+ gachapon and getting duplicates of everything because i'm scared of losing or damaging things
Yeah! This is my bag in >>8885647
I bought it from ebay. It's legit.
>>8885891
ah thank you anon!!
everyones ita heart backpacks looked so cute, I'm glad I can finally get my hands on one!
>>8885891
So it's got the little front pocket window like the legit ones? Good to know then for the future~
>>8885966
>Sorry, should word that better. I mean the little flap behind the window that obscures the actual contents inside the bag. Like you can attach your stuff in the front and then put your actual belongings behind it?
>>8885565
>almost paid $20 for a badge and i thought that was bad
Thank god I looked around before I bought it. In the end I paid about $12 for it.
>>8885598
I just searched twitter with husbandos kanji name
>>8886114
not all of the wego bags have glitter though, i think the main difference is the lining position. i'm still waiting for mine in the mail so i can't verify yet
>>8885861
Ahh, thank you, anon. But I'm looking for the royal/darker blue one. It's okay though, the one I wanted went on preorder through WEGO so I was able to snag one yesterday. Hopefully I entered my Tenso address correctly!
>>8886114
>>8886116
Mine is from eBay and has the glitter.
So I finished redoing my Polnareff itabag with companion Iggy bag. I'm waiting on a ton of official merch in the mail I'll probably re organize and swap around with what I have currently as I'm still not fully happy with it.

Lavender AA bag anon here. Got the black and lavender heart bags directly from wego (through an ss of course) and the black one didn't have sparkles on the clear pvc. The front area is like a pocket, so you can pin stuff on the fabric and your internal items are hidden! Hth!
seeing this almost makes me sad that I'm not huge into osomatsu because I love these kinds of school bags. but if anybody wants to join the scramble to get one on the 29th:
http://store.akitashoten.co.jp/?pid=99171326
Would it be shitty of me to post a picture of a charm I bought at a con about a month ago in Cali in hopes to find the artist's name/store here or in the AA thread? I honestly regret not getting more of the charm I got for my itabag and can't find them online at all.
>>8886114
Only certain colors from the WEGO shop have glitter.
http://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00002X1H
>>8886462
Why would that be shitty?
>>8886506
Cause I have done it before (not here but somewhere else but on tumblr) and was told I shouldn't do that cause it could cause art theft for the artist. Idk I found it weird but I want to be cautious before doing it.
>>8886511
Just don't upload super high res photos and you should be good, anon!
>>8886511
>but on tumblr
There's your problem. They freak out about not sourcing even if it's someone extremely well known or you just plain don't know the source.
>>8886528
Thanks for that reasurance anon
>>8886543
You are right but I just want to make sure it's not going to someone spazz out here or anything
But here is the picture of the charm I am looking for. I bought it at anime los angeles here in California but can't find the source/artist for it. If anyone knows who it is and/or knows their shop please let me know!
Storytime:
>bf visits me during valentine's day weekend since we live far away from each other
>shows him everything I got at the AA at ALA
>he loves everything but looks at pic related like he has never seen anything like it before
>hears him whisper under his breath
>"this is fucking adorable"
>he isn't into shipping characters especially two male characters since he doesn't like ships
>asks shyly if I know source, sadly I don't
>finds out he literally ships gon and killua like no other
>tries to deny he ships them but can't hide it
>Cause of this charm he wants to make an ita bag of gon and killua
>now we both are making hxh bags and mines will be hisoka.
Sorry if my story sounds boring but I found it hilarious that someone who hates shipping and junk suddenly ships two characters so much.
>>8886560
Oh man thats so cute
>>8886433
I really dont like this because its just a normal schoolbag which you can get off tb for $10 with a matsu logo + some plastic keychain. Unless youre really keen on the keychain i dont see much of a reason to buy it
>>8886560
Did some searching out of boredom; m-managed to find who its by, surprisingly.

Their storenvy is down right now, but I'm sure it'll reopen at some point. Send your boyfriend my best regards, by the way, he has damn good taste in anime boy ships.
>>8885045
Would have loved an extra one but no worries, anon! I already have one which is my only official Athena merch, sadly,
I only want Asougi + Ryuu so I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get them individually later.
That looks great, anon! All of these heart itabags is tempting me to get it in purple for murasakibara/ichimatsu, my current base is a tote bag + clear bag that doesn't work so great.
>>8886719
Omg thank you anon! And I will let him know your regards.
Itabag goals will be reached soon!
>>8885535
saw this on auction a while ago. I only wish I one day have this kind of cash to throw around on keychains.
as for myself personally, I've paid $120 before shipping for a really tacky official shirt, but that's more on the fandom fashion side.
>>8886966
Holy shit. What in the world makes this worth that much?!
>>8886979
I remember the seller posting a proof photo of some kind of fancy official letter that they received from Lawson at the time they got those charms, so I guess they're ultra rare? but that aside, I still can't fathom being willing to shell out $1000 for ONE charm...
>>8886985
The only way I can see it being worth that much is if there's only like.. 10 of them made or something.
>>8886560
>hxh itabags
>hisoka
God speed, anon. I learned the hard way that Hisoka stuff is expensive as hell. Glad you're making a Gon/Killua bag though; they're my favorite pair in any anime haha.
Made a itty bitty tiny bag for Ayato from Diabolik Lovers. I still want to make a bigger one with a plastic cover for both Ayato and Shu, but I wanted to put some of the merch I had to use.
>>8887006
>that print
I would kill to have that on a bag.
>>8887006
this looks cute anon! ahh, i've been looking for that glasses badge forever. seeing it here renews my motivation!
>>8884304
>>>8884162 (You)
>>>8884267
Yeah, I got a few emails already. I am going to order on Wednesday.

>>8882395
Bought some stuff off Amazon to try this! I got inkjet paper, some straps, and a heart hole punch. I dunno how well that will work out once it shrinks but we'll see. I'll try it tonight and report back, gonna be a bit though cause I'm going out in an hour but I will definitely post results.
More on the fandom-fashion side of things, but I found an artist on pixiv with some fun Sengoku Basara designs - pic is their Motochika bag, which I may try actually sewing for a friend.
>>8881803
>mfw teddie has more merch suited for itabag than yosuke
>>8883498
I don't know what this series is but the little felt character head pins are adorable!! Taking this idea into consideration.
>>8886995
I found that out the hard way. I mean like he is best boy.
>>8887020
Damn that's actually a good badge for my bag
>Found a charm of hisoka with pic related image
>there is a star shooting out from this crotch that says "Censored"
>Sadly only one is left

Leaving link up here just in case anyone wants it. Hopefully the shop owner makes more since they sold fairly well at the con I went and saw it there.
>>8887050
Thanks! I got mine on mandarake, I've seen it pop up there on other occasions, you might want to check it out there.
Does anyone have any fandom fashion outfits, selfpost, or otherwise? I'm using artsc to make some JoJo manga leggings
>>8883478
I didn't even know there was such thing as Buddyfight merch
Shit I'm excited.
I put off making a bag for months because it was too hard to find a cute black/dark bag for my danron/komaeda shit.
Thank you based /cgl/ for posting links to those heart bags. I ordered a black one.
>>8876012
This is one of the ita bags I'm currently working on. It's a hatoful boyfriend themed bag.
>>8876008
Posted this bag before. I added some stuff since then.
>>8876008
Other side of bag
>>8888419
I'm making a Monomi bag!! Yay for more DR bags
:')
>>8888576
That should be really cute. Do you have any pics?
>>8876015
That Karamatsu one is awesome.
>>8888583
Not yet! I haven't gotten my base bag in. I have a good amount of merch though (years of casually collecting before itabags became a thing) and more stuff coming in the mail as well along with the base bag. When I have something showable I'll totally post it here and in the FB group.
>>8888616
Do you have any of the Danganronpa x Listen Flavor items? They're quite cute but more so on the pastel side so they might clash with what you already have.
>>8888622
I do! I have one of the straps (Monomi's dripping face) and I have one of the buttons ordered (pic related). Might cop the button Tokyo Otaku Mode has if I find some other stuff on their site that I'd want to justify shipping costs. I know they have another strap as well that has Monokuma fighting Monomi that I might get as well!
New to itabags but incredibly interested in making some! Everybody's bags look great here. Just curious but are any of these... functional? Like I'd love to have an itabag as a fun convention bag/conversation starter at a con but if they're too fragile I'd just make them for display/sharing purposes otherwise.
Pic is some Haikyuu!! itabags from katsu.
>>8888704
hq and... baseball. sorry my sports anime knowledge is limited haha...
Here's another one to make up for it.
Has anyone ordered a bag from WEGO before?? How long did it take for it to get to you?
>>8888704
Most are, yes! The items are just hooked on the front of the bag, so the inside of the bag is perfectly functional. Clear plastic coverings like in your pictures protect the merch. There are some that just are clear totes, and then merch pinned on like, a big pillow or something, and those aren't really functional as bags. They're not seen as much though, probably because people are looking for more functionality.
>>8888710
I got one of the heart bags, and it took less than a week from shipment to get to my SS (Tenso), and then from Tenso it took a little less than a week via EMS. I did however wait a while for the bag to be shipped to Tenso in the first place, since I preordered it a couple weeks before the actual release.
