>>9414563
I think this one might've been a joke for twitter, since it was posted on Valentines.

>>9414586
I don't think it's a band actually-- I think it's the guy who invented the otamatone. Apparently he's invented some other gizmos as well.

Any gulls have plans for either of the holographic WEGO bags yet? I'm a huge sucker for holographic stuff so I've really been trying to decide what I could make a bag for to fit it. So far I'm thinking either Fullmetal Alchemist or Space Patrol Luluco, but I'm still pretty undecided.

Oh nooo...that is really disappointing. Hoping they release some other bags with the rainbow material because it's absolutely perfect. I guess it would be okay for something with very little merch though. I'm thinking of a rhythm games themed bag?

I'm actually going to be moving my Ranka stuff to a bigger bag, partly cause I'm not fond of the sparkly clear cover and shade of green, and also because I want to introduce more merch (and some small figures).

Anon that asking about the Zakkamart fake leather bags, my roomie was a champ and signed for them when I was out.

Anyway, the PVC is pretty nice and soft. It doesn't have the tacky feel that cheap PVC has. The insert thing is canvas but is slighty wrinkle prone. The inside is a pretty good size too, I can fit my laptop and a couple of essential in there. I wouldn't put more than two pounds in stuff in it though bc of the nature of the PVC. My only gripe is that the top zips close so if you want to use the longer strap, you have to tuck the handle staps behind the bag. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with them.

>>9414901
i am the anon! Thanks for this. How does the insert work? is it through velcro in a front pocket and does that mean it is not completely dust/waterproof under a light rain given the nature of the insert? (unlike the usual backpacks where they're all under a zip.

>>9414398
>>9414431
Uh I think they meant where I got the bag from since I'd hope the huge Vegeta on it would make it obviously Dragon Ball. The bag is from WEGO. It's actually a lot deeper than I expected and can fit some decently sized plushes. http://zozo.jp/shop/wego/goods/15976183/?did=33461131

>>9414362
I would consider it if, um, anyone made any merch of anything that wasn't Dr Slump or Dragon Ball. I like to only use official merchandise... There is a little of Galactic Patrolman Jaco that I've been meaning to get though (although that may as well be Dragon Ball at this point).

Would you guys say that ita-bagging is still decently 'in'? I've noticed this has stayed around a lot longer than some other things that have come and gone on /cgl/, so I thought it would be an interesting thing to bring up.
Personally, I hope it stays around for a lot longer, but... you know how things like this can be.

>>9415596
dedicated/nonbandwagoners will keep going, although may become quieter if they have 'completed' their bag.

>>9415596
I'm currently staying in Japan for a few months and have personally seen fandom bags EVERYWHERE. I was actually really surprised by how common they are. Granted I've mostly seen them being worn by young people, but Wego (and honestly it seems like a few other stores!) Have entire sections dedicated to things to stuff into window bags. It's still super trendy here right now. Makes me wish I had brought the one I'm working on with me.

I've been thinking of making an itabag using one of those Japanese school bags (the ones that protags usually hang over their shoulders) cause it matches a character I want to do, but I feel like it would look terribad if I made a clear bag to go over it. Has anyone tried it yet?

>>9414482
>Some more unconventional subject in this one. I'm kinda salty WEGO discontinued these backpacks.

They did? I was just in the WEGO store in Harajuku this past weekend, and they had some along with a bunch of other itabags like >>9414786 that one

>>9415635
They're no longer on the online store. The stock in store is probably all they have left.

Yeah, they did. There may be a few remaining in stores, but both >>9414479 and the one I was talking about >>9414487 have been axed from their website. I managed to get one of the big window backpacks on clearance and am really glad I did, but I nabbed a white one when the color I wanted (red) was sold out already.

I want to make a guide for this sort of thing when I'm out of school and have time. Don't underestimate the power of diy/custom merch anons! I'll elaborate more later, but there's a handful of links to custom printing stuff in the FAQ, plus other methods discussed in past threads. And here's an example of something I made for my husbando bag on shutterfly.

>>9415629
You could always forgo the plastic cover if you have other ways to secure/protect your merch. I've seen people stitch things to their bags, glue buttons/ballchains shut, and things like that. There are also button and strap covers from protecting stuff.

>>9414715
>>9415635
>calling base bags itabags
C'mon guys, I thought we knew better than this.

>>9414977
The insert is a flap that's attached to the top of the bag that you tuck into the front pocket. Idk if you can see it that well but in the first pic of the collage, you can see what I mean. Like you said, it's not completely waterproof but the velcro seems sturdy enough to keep out dust. It's a little tricky to work with at first but it's way easier that working with the bags that have the zip over clear covers imo

I made one for Rin a while back but I don't know how it'd look with a clear bag. Would've come in handy though because a rosette I made fell off in the dealer's room and I didn't notice until someone stopped me to hand it back.

>>9415596
Even if it goes out of fashion for the bandwagon people, people who are dedicated will keep at it, myself included. I brought keychains and made balls of them to attach to bags way before this with an old friend, so I'm happy now there's now bags to safely hang them on haha.

I've never really had this problem so far, but I'm fairly new to this. That, and I check package tracking neurotically. I'm currently waiting on just two more things to get to warehouse before I can ship my most recent zenmarket haul. Then I'm going to jump ship and try out a proxy that should be cheaper with my YJA habits.

Are you guys waiting on any mail?

>>9417545
Waiting on two T&B figures from eBay secondhand auctions right now. I need to check surugaya again for new stuff but I've already got a dozen listings on my wishlist.

>>9417005
I reached this point a long time ago. Since one of my bags is pretty much all fan merch (minor Fire Emblem character) it's all one-charm artist alley preorders, and I lose track over the months. I honestly don't know how many or from whom I'm waiting on.

>>9417545
ahahaha oh boy mail. I'm currently waiting on a few more FGO doujin to get to the warehouse (there's already a good few there) as well as a bunch of FGO charms and badges since I've decided it's going to be my newest money pit.

>>9417725
Go for it anon. A small bag would work since I'm sure the vast majority of his merch is still for part 3. I'd love to see an exclusively 4taro bag with OTT sealife decorations everywhere.

I kind of really want to make an itbag dedicated to my OTP but it's a hetero ship rather than homo and I haven't seen any for hetero ships? Like... the itabag community has a lot of fujoshis, so it kinda feels weird to have a hetero otp I guess

>>9417848
Who's your OTP, anon?

>>9417848
thats quitter talk anon, you have to be hardcore like a fujoshi is for your otp

I have been seeing online mostly on instagrm that some people are selling "itabag starter kits" where you pick a base bag then ask for what character you want and amount you want to spend on the merch which is all randomly picked.

Idk why this irks me the wrong way because it's taking out all of the fun of making your own itabag. What are your opinions on "starter kits"? Do you guys think it's good or takes the fun out?

>>9417848
Seen a few hetero ships, mainly Mystic Messenger/other otome games, so I don't find it weird. Just not many do it.

>>9417866
To me, the starter kits are just blind boxes, but only of the one character/series you like, so I find them fun in a way since you'll only be getting goods of your waifu/husbando. I can see why you feel the way you do though, since part of the fun of itabagging is hunting down that merch you love, not just having it handed to you.

>>9417848
I'd make an OTP bag but my OTP features a customizable character so I'm fucked. I'd do custom merch but I'd feel really awkward having a bag full of so many self-drawn items that feature a character that could be mistaken for a self-insert.

Fujos are just on a whole a lot more vocal and have more marketing power, so while gay fandom love is more prominent, there's no reason why hetero ships can't be displayed in an ita bag.

>>9417866
I think it takes the fun out of it and also a bit of the meaning. All the merch on my bags is merch I would have purchased anyway to support the series, I itabag to have a way to not only display it but to show I love the characters and series enough to support it. I kind of find purchasing stuff just for itabags that you wouldn't have gotten any way not in the spirit in the first place and then having someone pick for you is even less in the spirit.

Absolutely. I've been begging my waifu Beatrice to show me her smile again for the past seven years.
All I own is a rubber charm, the official plushie and the daki that came with the PS3 port. There's nothing else out there except for the small super deformed figure or the creepy dollfie. Even fucking Jessica got a figure while Beato got shafted. Thank you studio Deen.
At this point I might as well start a ritual sacrificing my family members to summon that sweet Beato merch into existence.

>>9417848
Just go for it, anon. Itabagging is about doing what you like and just because you haven't seen any other examples doesn't mean it can't be done. (het ship bags are definitely out there though, they're just less common because many itabaggers are also fujoshi)

I don't have the bag yet but I've been practicing my layout now that I have most of the merch. I know I'll definitely have to space everything on the left out a little more, and find something for the gap on the right, but overall I like it for a first try.

I was thinking of using the white heart bag, but would it clash too much with the black badges? Not sure what color I'll go with for the backing yet if it matters.

Pardon my salt, but holy shit I'm so tired of the scalping that happens in this group. I haven't checked any other sites, but when these were up on Amiami they were 810 yen each. Even after airmail they probably would've been around 15 dollars. I'd say it made sense if they were that expensive because yuri kuma merch is rare, but I keep remembering the Kill la Kill strap they were selling for like 25 dollars.

I think this would look pretty great! The white bag I think would have the girls designs blend in rather than clash. You could always put some contrasting material to make the charms stand out?
Don't forget a beer keychain anon.

This is why I love yoi itabags.
I love the idea of designing the bag to look like their costumes! If Viktor's merch wasn't so damn expensive I'd make a Stammi Vicino themed bag myself!

>>9418787
Thank you! I think I'll go with the white then, I was looking between that and the pastel pink. I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate more of Yukari's eye-gap so I might try to find a way to use it as the pattern. I'm also hoping to find more matching merch later down the line and find more to add to the outside of the bag.

Also duly noted about the keychain.

Really cute but the way the vinyl pocket is accessed will make it a pain to add and arrange things, imo.

The bag is cool, but the insides are not too solid. I think it would be a 10/10 if it was just Eros merch on the inside, arranged in a more pleasing manner.

Anons, I need some help. I've been thinking that it's time to step up from WEGO heart/open window bags to an actual large tote with a clear cover. However, I'm not sure what size to go for.

I like the look of the UtaPri bags (with the grommets for straps), and Rakuten has solid color ones in that style, but they're only A4 size which I fear is not going to be big enough for my plans. I don't really like the style of A3 Salus or Zakkamart bags (i.e., the tote's straps slipping through the clear cover) but the dimensions seem nice.

For tote-carrying anons, what size do you prefer? Is it worth sacrificing a few inches of size in order to get the style I want? I'm hoping they just seem small because I don't physically have one to look at.

Pic related is my current bag (small size WEGO window tote), and I've got at least double that amount of merch in multiples waiting for a new base bag, plus more on the way.

I don't have a huge tote, but most sites selling them will list the dimensions, plus A4 and A3 are standard paper sizes used outside the US. I think a4 is fairly close to 8.5x11, and I dunno what a3 is.

Anyway, I don't know if anyone remembers me being neurotic about trying to match a certain robot's red-orange color, but I finally made a trip out to Joanns and found a near-perfect match that I was happy to settle on. The only way I could've been happier was if it were a tad bit brighter, or if it was less expensive. I'm reeeally happy I won't have to dye my own fabric, and now I've got everything for my custom base bag aside from the interfacing and zippers/hardware. Now I just have to wait a couple of months for school to end so I can get back to a sewing machine.

I decided to make a food centric itabag, I've been looking into making my bag into stuff thats not just my husbando, I have a cryptid centric bag in the works as well!

>>9414539
slightly off topic, but Im really loving how everybody is finding new ways to display their merch nowadays, I remember back then people just had their rubber straps and other merch on their keys, and everything always got dirty

As a collector I always liked keeping my merch in crisp clean condition so it always stayed at home safely in a drawer never to be seen but nowadays I can bring out all my merch together, and still keep it clean! feels good.jpg

>>9419023
I love this, but i'm on a diet so I also hate it.
Very good idea and well executed. Love the consistency in style between metch(?). Do you have sources for some of these straps/pins?

Bought just a small bag, as there is merch, but not a whole lot of variety right now.

Going to try and have it finished when I cosplay Victor eventually.

I'm glad to see people doing more non-character/anime bags. I've thought about a space themed one, but I'll I've really done is tracked down stuff and decided on a base; I haven't bought anything yet.

That's my bag! I bought it because I really liked how it looked in this photo. You can grasp an idea of it's size too. It's 23x26cm approx. About the flap, I guess it depends on how you make it work. My Ichimatsu plushie fits pretty tightly there so it doesn't move and the push lock stays on his forehead.

>>9419023
>I can bring out all my merch together, and still keep it clean! feels good.jpg
This so much. I've always been a collector of keychains and small items, but I eventually tapered off because they would never see the light of day or get any use. Now that I learned about itabags, I can totally justify my spending for keychains because they are actually used!

I'm waiting on my first base bag to arrive at ZM's warehouse, then I can get them to ship it + my latest merch buys. Pretty excited to finally start arranging everything.

>>9417545
>>9419442
I, like others, am waiting on just one or two last things to show up to the ZM warehouse before I ship off the $900 worth of shit I bought over the last month and a half. Most of it is boxes I'm splitting with people, so I'll be stuck in bubble mailer hell once the package GETS here, but oh well. Anyone have experience with putting high-valued packages like this through U.S. customs? I'm worried it'll get stuck and/or taxed.

I'm assuming you're US based. I haven't had anything close to that value (my highest was probably $750) but they've gone thru customs just fine. I think if you go over $1000, you start seeing custom taxes and whatnot. Hell, I think high value packages tend to move quicker too but that's just me desu.

I am finally caving and buying a new base bag, because much as I have always loved this bag (it is very big on the inside & has inner pockets) I am officially out of room. I prefer more organized bags, and right now I barely have enough space to pin together for that huge-overlapping-pile aesthetic.

>>9419926
Could you explain to me what's the deal with bubble mailer hell? I don0t understand what's that

>>9420031
Bubble mailers are those envelopes in the pic, they come with bubblewrap already inside, hence the name. They're talking about how many of those they've got to stuff and send.

>>9419839
Any package worth over $800 will be assessed for customs duties in the US. I always have to undervalue my group order packages for this reason.

>>9419023
This is, by far, my favorite bag of any and all itabags ever. <3

>>9419442
God I have so many different packages coming from so many different places. I joined an Otamart/Luxas order with a group of friends and have quite a hefty amount of merch coming from there. I'm getting another large package from my angel of a friend who lives in Japan and acts as my forwarding agent that contains my base bag and a large Surugaya and Animate order. I have third package coming from Tenso since said friend was going out of town at the time so I decided to ship it separately. I have three separate FromJapan packages coming in for a few random orders. And lastly I have a really large order coming from Amiami, although a small amount is for box splits.

I'll be joining you gulls in bubble mail hell.

>TFW you realize just exactly how much you've spent in the past month.
My wallet has been beaten to death and ran over again by a truck for good measure

>>9419442
I'm waiting for my ss in Japan to get one last item so I can have my package shipped. And then I'm still mailing fan merch to a friend in the US who's being my forwarding agent just like >>9420160 said. We're lucky to have such good friends!

>>9420125
I envy you soooo much! In my country EVERYTHING gets stuck in customs and taxed. Even if it's worth 1 dollar. And you don't only pay tax on the price of the item but the shipping cost too, which is ridiculous. I have to go to the customs office this week to pick up 2 mousepads... (not to mention said office is 2hs away from where I live)

Well I stayed up late looking at redbubble stickers last night, but it was totally worth it. I found a fuckload of good pokemon stuff, plus some great additions for my future mecha bag upgrade. I particularly love the left one because it'll make a great centerpiece in addition to it being from a series that has nothing official.

The fujoshi godesses are smiling down on you.

Tfw my husbando doesn't have any merch because it's 2017. My husbando is Shiki from TnC I am suffering.
I want to make an ita bag and I suppose I can make one for Marisa (touhou) or Kotori (llsif) but it's not the same if it's not my husband it doesn't feel authentic.

I'm seriously debating taking official art and making custom pins or something.

>>9421138

I am pretty sure my Big Boss itabag was doomed before it began, there is almost no official merch and no one is selling any decent fan stuff online. Any suggestions? My husbando deserves the love

Apparently earth music & ecology is planning to release a base bag (4990 yen, arrives in July). They're currently holding a vote until April 12 through Twitter rts/likes and Instagram likes for the top 5 colors, which will be produced.

>>9421808
i kind of agree, if only in that i can't really relate liking something so general to the obsessive love of a character that inspired itabags.

But I also like the food-itabag a lot and think it's really cute even outside of an itabag context.

I suppose we've already had that discussion last thread though, when a bag is more for the sake of having an 'itabag' than anything else

>>9421939
- Sort of adding on, no hate to the anons but it does feel recently like people are trying to make the most 'random' or 'unexpected' itabag for the lulz and asspats. The Goldblum bag was novel, but some touch too close to trying too hard to impress other people rather than being for the bag maker themself.

i think that cryptids are totally in the spirit of an itabag - you can passionately love that; it's specific enough that someone could reasonably have an obsession large enough to spend the time and money making an ita bag of it. kaiju, cryptids, maybe even specific animals or dinosaurs, that all seems reasonable. perhaps i'm biased, though.

a general food ita bag, on the other hand, does not seem like a real obsessive love, and more like something made just to be unique and get lots of attention. it's just plain silly.

There's a special K-Books in Ikebukuro that is dedicated to all BL stuff especially NC+. I remember going there and they have a wall of TnC, Sweet Pool, DMMD, and Lamento badges, keychains and other things. Maybe you can get a shopping service to go out and get you merch?

I kinda agree with you there, however I'd still rather see bags like that food bag than people's assorted con merch collections in a heart backpack trying to be passed off as itabags. Unlike those, the anon with the food bag seems to have put some effort into getting merch with a similar feel and arranging it nicely.

Plus, I'd say a bag centered on a certain type/subset of food could still fit the spirit.

>>9421984
Giant Robot bag anon here! I picked up this pair of earrings at a local comic-con on spring break, and they've quickly become one of my favorites. I also think they look kinda alike something you'd find on ali/taobao, and I've been trying to find a second pair because I'd love to customize some.

I remember some people getting all-over print clothes made back when I was just lurking these threads. Has anyone done something like that recently?

Oh no the dangerous question! I'm up to 13 completed bags although there are a few I wouldn't mind reworking to cram more stuff on lol. For in progress bags I have three! I've been working on the one for several months because swing charms that aren't sold in lots add up very quickly with shopping service fees. It's a Hunter x Hunter KilluGon bag. My two other bags are Nasuverse/Type Moon bags for Tamamo and Nero. They're in their beginning stages and I only just decided on base bags for them.

my girlfriend is working on a ita bag of yuuri from yoi, and we're taking on this obsession / hobby together, so i'll post hers when it's done.

The other one I saw was just a preorder and it seems to have been closed since the old link directs to a different bag now I can't find the page for it again.

Great taste anon! I'm working on a Josuke bag myself. I would love to see your plush if you make one, I'm sure it will be much cuter than the official ones - I would totally buy one as a novelty but I refuse to put such an ugly thing on my bag, haha.

>>9422792
My main bag I've been working on is a Getter Robo bag, with a bit of my husbando bag on the side since he's from that series. I'm making a custom base for the former and ad a successful fabric haul for it last weekend which I already posted about here >>9419017. I'm still debating whether or not I want to share base bags between the two, ie have two backing boards of merch which I swap out. I'm also not sure whether I want to make some custom fabric for the getter bag or use another fabric I found that I really like. Maybe I'll ask here later. For now progress on this one is just waiting on merch to arrive since I don't have a sewing machine atm. I'm also going to make some felt things for one sometime soon.

As for other bags, which are mostly on hold, I've got a Patlabor bag I've started that has a base bag but very little merch, and 2 small, expanding merch collections for a couple of characters I'm going to put on a pouch I'm going to make since they share a color. I've also got all of the pokemon merch I've accumulated over the years. I've been thinking about making a general bag for all of my favorite pokemon for a while now, but then I started looking for more merch and some of my faves have a lot of good stuff, so I might have to give them their own bags.

I want to share my experience about buying some blind pack Merchs on Yahoo Auction.
Please do research to make sure the pack IS BLIND that people cannot figure out what character inside the pack.
I bought 10 YOI princess cafe 2 blind pack and found out that it is possible to know the character by touching it and feel the shape inside it. So the seller could picked the popular character out and sell the rest of them as blind pack.
As a result, I got 10 Merchs which 5 of them are popovich.

>>9424776

>>9424785
And thanks for the advice, but those are standees...So I feel so bad today.

I have some really cute stickers I'd like to put on my bag so I've been looking into the resin doming technique. Is there anyone who's done it and wouldn't mind commenting on the sturdiness? The examples I've seen look like they're really thin, so I'm concerned they might just easily snap at some point in a regularly used bag. Or is resin a lot tougher than I assume?

For a Jinbei-san bag, what color bag would you do? Light blue to match him? Dark blue so he stands out? Pink to match his manta ray friend and mouth?

>>9424861
All those options would be cute, but if you used dark blue it would be like the sea which could be fun

>>9424858
It's not a sticker, but it's paper sandwiched between packing tape and domed on both sides with epoxy resin, the front being thicker. Being "laminated" with the tape gives it flexibility, as does just being thin in general. I wouldn't worry about it snapping.


Sorry for shit photo quality.

>>9424864
Yeah if I did dark blue I could use my vinyl cutter to make stickers for the outside of the bag and they'd actually show up.

>>9424871
Oh wow, I thought resin would be much more rigid than that. That's reassuring, thank you!!

>>9424861
Pink

>>9424871
a somewhat related question....i got some vinyl stickers from redbubble that i'd like to use on a bag. i also have some flexible thin plastic (kind of like plastic manila folder material) that i was thinking about applying the stickers to. is this enough or do i really need to resin them? i was thinking maybe of mod podging over them instead, since i'm not terribly adept with resin and already have mod podge on hand.

Depending on the size, you might be able to find a mold that your stickers can fit into so you can make a full piece out of them like pic related. I also like to buy empty settings from the craft store, put my "laminated" sticker in them, and done resin on the top. Useful for fandom fashion accessories too!

On an unrelated note, does anyone know a good place to find Movic's Itamate line secondhand? I like a lot of their base bags but they're all out of stock, and Yahoo Auctions doesn't pull much up.

I think that should be enough. Resin's not the only option for these things, but a lot of people already use/have it so it's a popular choice.

Still enough room to hold my fightstick. I want to customize the bag itself so it's themed after her but I need to find a way to make it extremely sturdy first.

>>9425213
thanks anon. the stickers are kind of big (3"x2") so i didn't want to go overboard with resin doming especially since i haven't done it before.

has anyone used modpodge over redbubble stickers? any evidence of colors smudging/streaking? i'll use the shiny coat stuff since the matte finish type tends to stay a little tacky.

I had an idea to make an Akagi itabag and just cram it full of mahjong tiles and cigarettes.

I think its still got quite a bit of life in it. Now that we've exhausted all the 'normal' bag options (super cluttered, all of one item, color-coded OTPs, silly joke bags, etc) the hobby is starting to go down the really creative path as people start to ake really elaborate bags or try out ita-ing each other. I get more excited each thread.

Don't judge me for being into the shitty beginner anime, but I really want to make an Armin Arlert bag... I'm a little obsessed with him desu, but I can never find much merch for him, even unofficial stuff. Oh well. Guess i'll just stick to dreaming and looking at everyone else's beautiful bags..

I'm not making a bag yet but I've found myself collecting pieces that could be used for a Vento Aureo Polnareff bag. There's very little merch for him so I'll have to be creative with the rest, not to mention my other hobbies already take up enough of my time and spending budget. But true love is real and I'm really tempted to go for it.
Hopefully when and if I do it it'll be enough for me and I won't end up making an SDC Pol bag too but god knows I have merch for that too.

>>9427061
Yeah it was that one, and here I was searching all over Twitter trying to find it.

>>9427065
I love Polnareff's design in Vento Aureo! I'm hoping it'll get an anime (i have this fear that they'll skip it and go straight to Stone Ocean).

VA is supposedly one of the most popular parts in Japan after SDC so I wouldn't worry about it too much! I'm really hoping we'll get more Pol merch down the road thanks to it.

Pic related is what I have for Vento Pol so far, it's not very impressive quantity wise like I said but they were rather difficult to find, and one is unofficial of course but I'm not picky. I've already thought about unofficial-but-related things to add to it, and maybe some interesting designs for the bag itself like some corset lacing down the middle or something.

I don't wanna bring the negativity back, but fucken hell the newest scalping prices in the sales page is making me go apeshit.

>>9427668
Call them out or tell a mod?

does it make anyone else sperg the hell out when someone says they're starting an itabag and then shows a cart full of $1 Aliexpress bootlegs? i don't mind fanmerch or one or two bootlegs to fill a larger bag but it kind of feels like people are missing the point of 'ita'bag by getting around actually buying official merch...

>>9427796
I'll admit I used to buy a ton of straps from Taobao reject stores and most of my figures are used shops on Taobao and secondhand from Japanese eBay auctions, but that's because I couldn't afford much. Now I'm going solely secondhand auctions from Japanese eBay and Yahoo Japan auctions, and getting stuff from Surugaya because I didn't know I could find secondhand authentic merch so cheap. Now all I use Taobao for is cheap plushies to pad my bags with and fanmerch.

I think that's the issue that's happening a lot. People are used to only knowing about convention dealers room or online scalper prices. They don't know sites like surugaya or Yahoo Japan Auctions exist where you can get used goods for like 1/8th of the original cost without it being Chinese bootlegs.

>>9427813
it sucks because even when i tell my friends about the other websites they can get shit that isn't bootlegs they still gravitate towards them for some reason. always the same bootleg heart bag and bootleg straps with newfags for some reason

I loved the baseball episode so the first bag I got was based around it.

>>9426000

Kinokuniya opened up near me and I went yesterday--they had some Kara stuff reasonably priced. Are you looking for anything in particular? Might go back today.

>>9427827
Pretty sure the reason is accessibility - bootlegs are available through aliexpress and ebay, as opposed to Japanese websites that require a shopping service. It can be daunting to put in that first order with a SS if you've never done it before, and if they're new to the community they might not feel comfortable jumping into a group order.

It's a baby weeb phase and it passes, and for the few it doesn't pass with feel free to cringe.

I actually really love hitting up Taobao for fan merch, though. There's a lot of really cute stuff from Chinese artists, so long as I make sure that the art style is consistent for the shop & I know they're not rip offs of another artist's design.

>>9427902
Do you happen to have any links to shops you would recommend that you can be reasonably sure are run by the actual artist? Though they might not have the character I want I'd be interested to see. I would love to support them but I don't trust taobao at all for that sort of thing so I never bothered looking.

>>9424457
I made one, pretty simple. I used stiffened felt from the craft store but you could also use interfacing to maenit stiffer.

I sewed some... quilting wadding, (I think that's the word ?) on the inside, and I used two layers of that very stiff thing you put on the bottom of bags in order to make it less floppy. That really made a difference when it comes to giving the bag a nice shape !

>>9428075
So cute! I'm envious of how tightly you can cut along the outline of the art... I had to do a big amorphous outline around my shrinky dinks, which isn't working out for more realistically proportioned images like the two you have in the lower right. Are you using a specific type of scissors?

>>9428225
Thanks ! And no, just normal everyday scissors. Maybe the shrink film I use is thinner ? It's the Grafix Inkjet one that was recommended to me in the previous thread.

>>9427668

There's lots of resource for sewing bags out there on crafting and sewing websites if you don't know how to get started. You can also probably find some tips around there too. "how to sew a (bag type) bag is probably a good google search to start with.

I think both of those things might be different type of interfacing, though I'm not too sure for the first one you mentioned.

Cute! Also I don't know if it's just the glitter but those middle Yuri/Otabek charms (both in SP outfits, and the wedding? ones below) have really trippy faces. The top button with them eating takoyaki is super cute though.

the ridiculousness in the sales group that someone is selling a bootleg wego bag for $25

Also, pardon my paranoid ass, but has anyone ordered from this person before? I ordered the mijuku dreamer hanamaru strap early last month and my idiot ass didn't get tracking, and I haven't heard anything from the seller since. I know they're in the UK and their feedback seems good, so I'm pretty sure I'm just worried for no reason, but I wanted to know if any gulls purchased from them or not.

>>9428832
Man, I can't really explain all of them, but they're definitely an entertaining bunch. TO be more specific, I know a few people who like loner type characters like Ichimasu because they want to sheer them up and make them feel important/loved.

Oh man, I guess I came off too strong there

Yeah what >>9428875 said I can't really explain it either,
I guess they're just really endearing? Like they all have distinct personalities and colors, so there's one for everyone?

>>9428882
whoops meant to reply to >>9428832

>>9428843
I've ordered from them once before and my stuff got to the US alright

>>9428832
I actually really like the fanon side of the anime. It's a really entertaining anime in general, but I love to see happy go lucky/silly characters broken and in pain.

>MFW angst and pain makes me happy.

>>9428833
Thanks for giving me flashbacks to my high school days anon. You gave me a good laugh.

>>9428836
What series is this? Anyone know?

>>9428836
>>9429034
oh, nevermind. I found it.

Long time no see gulls, have some unrelatable Japan-feels and my unchanging bag:

>Been living in Japan for around a month or so
>Akiba is in the way of my commute so basically a free Akiba-trip every day
>Still haven't made any progress on my bag because every piece of merch that I encounter I already own

I'm crying bitter tears. I had to order stuff off of Surugaya because no matter where I go I only see stuff that I already have. Namjatown's Yowapeda-event is coming in a couple weeks so at least there will be new stuff there.
At least the selection of base-bags is plentiful if i ever want to change things up. I've seen lot of interesting bags from some less known brands.

>>9428832
Probably because all of the characters are somewhat embarrassing and gross losers, each one on their own way. They grow into you because each of them has their flaws - at least that was what happened to me. I'm not a matsu-itabagger nor I intend to be, but Choromatsu best boi.

>>9428843
YY is a very trusted seller here in the Uk and try their best to get you items you want, she managed to get me and friends some rare Love Live merch so she's trustworthy! For mailing to the US nothing seems to have gone wrong, just you might need to pay a chunk for shipping. Compared to others in this group though, her prices are good.

dumb question, but when zenmarket asks for your district, do they mean your county?

>>9429316
No, the district is your state/province/region within your country.

>>9429321
but it says "state, district" ... so, do i just put my state? sorry for needing to be spoonfed like this

>>9429121
This bag is so nice to look at. I love it.

does anyone know when/if wego restocks bags? I have my eye on the black tote and black heart backpack but both are sold out (as are most other black bags).

I can really only see black or maybe white or red matching my character but most black bags are sold out and I'm afraid of white getting dirty. Maybe someone can attest to how easy to clean the white bags are?

>>9429381
Both listings say they'll be back in stock Mid-May.

Fuck the nostalgia is real.

>>9429328
I hope I don't sound rude, but there is a message page for you to ask them to clarify

I have a dilemma CGL and I was wondering if you could be of help.
I have one Ita base bag atm, it doubles as a neptune/uranus or eli bag depending on which slip I use.
It's a discontinued wego bag, a large fluffy light blue tote with a heart window. (Think the blue in the pastel heart backpacks)

Now, I really want to make a bag for Riko and Umi of love live, whose coloues are pink and royal blue respectively. But I only have money for one bag + merch, do you think royal blue would go with a baby blue bag and then buy a pink bag for riko, or would I be better to save up some more months to buy a new base for both?

>>9428211
I don't have any advise either as I'm still gathering stuff for my own bag, but I wanted to say I'm thrilled to see this bag and its subject!

>join taobao group order in fb group

>message order host about how long it'll take to arrive since I'm super excited to get my stuff.
>she says if I pay the invoice tonight she'll get it shipped tomorrow.

>mfw
I realize she might've been busy, but I wish she would've said she didn't get it shipped as planned.
On the bright side, two of my packages from japan are in the states now, if found some official buttons for my robots bags, and I made a deal to get some custom husbando buttons at a local shop that owns a buttonmaker, so my bagging life is going pretty well!

>>9428211
It's looking really good anon! I really like what you did in the center with the cards and the rose. The only thing I would've done differently would be to mirror one of those shrinky dink sprites on it so they were both facing different directions, but that's just me. I feel like it's really going to come together nicely once you fill in all of the blank buttons/keychains and such!

>>9429546
I'm so sorry! I'm the host, I've actually been quite sick for the past couple weeks, I managed to catch a nasty strain of Bronchitis and any sort of movement has been killer on my lungs so I've been a bit slower about getting things out than I normally would.

>>9429513
Aww thank you ! Always nice to meet fellow Gabranth fans !

>>9429546
That's a really good idea, thanks ! I still have 4 sheets left so I can totally make a mirrored sprite.

>>9427796
Sadly my husbando is so old and there is no merch out there, I have to buy bootleg merch to make an itabag with the little bit of official merch I have.
>TFW syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicles is your impossible husbando

If it's something like yoi, bna, or big shows or series like that then bootleg shouldn't even be an option with how easily merchandise is available to those series.

>>9429594
Hope with the OVA that's coming out you get merch anon

>>9429328
it's your state, they put multiple words because not every country has states

>>9429501
I think a light blue bag would work for Umi, the dark blue would blend in with her hair too much (unless you want that).

>>9428802
That's helpful, thank you!

>Tried to bring it up to someone that what they thought they bought was official, turns out to be bootleg
>Gets called rude
ok then

>>9429490
you don't sound rude at all, thank you for the help!
>>9429693
thank you for the explanation, that makes sense.

with your answers, i submitted my package for confirmation... i'm so excited for kamata and my keychains to get here!!

>>9429697
I've seen a dark blue bag used for umi and I agree with getting a lighter bag, her hair was blending in a lot.

I was thinking of popping open the jump rings to get the straps off and sewing on my charms with clear thread, would this be too barbaric to do to my merch?

>>9430061
>>9429697
Thank you !!
I was unsure since light blue is Eli's image colour (as that was the original reason I got that bag ... ) I've put in an order for a pink swimmer bag for riko ~ I already have a tonne of merch for her.

That being said, I have some koi ni naritai keychains for Ruby and Hanamaru ( rubber straps) and kanan ( water ... snowglobe thing? )
If anyone would be interested ( selling roughly 4£ + shipping) lmk and I'll drop an email for them !

>>9430359
Taking the straps off is actually pretty standard. You can definitely sew them down if you want but even just a safety pin through the jump ring works really well without the long strap.

>>9430453
I just didn't want any visible metal parts like lobster clasps or even a subtle back-pinned safety pin, guess I'll go for it!

>tfw anime store finally opens up in my city
>Facebook page has 5 stars
>Latest post is about itabag base bags being in stock
>Go to visit
>All bootlegs
>Stickers, keychains, EVEN THE BAGS

I drove 30 minutes to that piece of shit. I took photos and reported them to a couple anime licensing companies. Waste my time for bootlegs, will you? I just wanted to shop for merch in person.

>>9430474
Oooouch. Is it possible that the business owners are just that ignorant that they don't know their merch isn't official...? I want to be hopeful but..... yikes.

I seriously doubt it. It looked like someone bought the first five pages of whatever comes up when you search for "anime keychain" on Alibaba/eBay/taobao. It was insane. The prices were what really got me. Those tacky 99 cent + free shipping dome necklaces (like pic related- sorry to shit up the thread) being sold for $10 to $20 depending on the series. I just can't believe it had a perfect 5 star review. Normies don't know any better I guess.

What's the best way to secure large acrylic standees to a bag with a clear pocket?

Crafting pin backs are your best friend friendo.

>>9429594
Man anon, I feel your pain. Fai was one of my original husbandos and I would love to make a bag for him, but there's practically no merch available anymore. Not to mention it seems that TRC was relatively underrated and there's not even much in terms of fan merch

Can we get a new thread started? This ones already reached bump limit

>>9430685

Oh dang, it's totally ok! I had no idea you were sick. I hope you get better soon.
>mfw waiting in 5 packages now
Unrelated, but I really appreciate how you've been telling people with stupid questions in the FB group to read the fucking guide and locking their posts.

>>9430359
Jump rings are easy as heck to remove and replace, don't worry about it anon.

>>9430474
I would've done the same thing anon, that's some super bullshit. I think most normalfags just don't know about bootlegs, while others don't really care about authenticity as long as they can have something with their favorite animu on it.

>>9429594
>>9430728
One day when I'm out of school, I'm going to bang out a guide for anons like you on all of the options out there for things with little/no merch. I know there's already a small section in the guide about if but it doesn't seem to be enough for some people.
