/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I want to see some shitabags.

>>9680158

>>9680162

Why doesn't one of the mods or whoever has access to the FB's guide just fucking update it with into for making inserts? Someone asks literally every day how to make one. They were petty enough to delete it when the groups "split" but they really can't update it?

>>9680216

Info. Fuck mobile posting.

>>9680158
I have two from IG. Looking at them makes me feel nauseous because there’s way too much happening.

>>9680355

>>9680355
I'm not a fan of bags for whole shows, but I love the cluttered look.

>starting the thread off with shitabags
>T R I G G E R E D

nah for real though, these are fucking hilarious

>>9680355
>>9680356
>there's way too much happening
>implying that's a bad thing
Bruh.

What do you guys do when you love a character that only has fan-merch, and very little of it? Buy lots of multiples? Fill dead space with flowers and such? Commission stuff? All of the above??? I just don't want my bag to end up looking as sad and blank as some of those shitabags posted

>>9680355
This isn't that bad imo, but I don't understand the senpai bracelet.

>>9680410
All of the above. Gabranth anon's bag is the best example of minimal merch but a good bag.

>>9680410
All of those. I made an itabag for Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks over the summer and had to use every trick I could think of to pull it off.

If you guys are ever in Japan look for Lashinbang or Surugaya and you won't be disappointed. Huge walls of straps and badges and even better if you have a super popular fandom because they have 100 yen walls that are usually full of straps from the more popular fandoms

>>9680356
Yeah my only complaint about this one is the base color I suppose. I would think white would be more unifying considering their uniforms. Also really happy to see Pudge get some ita love for once.

Out of pure curiosity has anyone ever tried making their own fabric design for their backing? I can't kind a fabric I'm happy with so I'm kinda flirting with the idea of using my own design.

>>9680430
Makes sense. That looks pretty good! Also good to know cards and the like are accepted, I think my husbando has a couple of collectable cards floating around the internet, as well as a fucking pog (Zero from Mega Man X in case you're wondering).

>>9680470
That sounds pretty rad - got any pics?

>>9680484
A lot of people have.

>>9680410
if you have minimal merch of a character, i've always liked the look of the repeat bags

they certainly get that fanatical look

>>9680476
> 2 badges is ita love

>>9680198

>>9680194
>>9680190
>>9680162

I fucking hate Facebook

>>9680355
>>9680356
I love these! Cluttered bags are very cute imo.

Does anyone have any idolm@ster bags saved? I need inspo

>>9680678
Just google it? There's plenty.

Posted my question in saging thread so reposting! Looking at a secondhand bag but it has badge piercings on the outside of it. Anyone have any cute ideas to cover them up? I don't really want to put official badges on the outside of it in case they get damaged or drop off.

>>9680977
You could cover it with ribbon/trim or flowers? Maybe rhinestones or something similar.

>>9681015
The only thing with trim and flowers is I don't know whether it would suit my husbando. It's kokichi from the DRV3 so I might try and get something in about clowns or joker masks

>>9680410
> tfw only 3 different pieces of good fan-merch for my character and zero official merch
I kind of want to cave and get stuff from all the characters in the show

>>9681051
Maybe find something with a checkered pattern to match his scarf kind of? I'm starting a DR bag myself! There seems to be a decent amount of them popping up.

"I finished making my Sailor Moon ITA Bag yesterday"

>>9681067
Good idea! My only worry then is that I look like a scene kid but I guess that's part of the pain of an itabag lol. Which character anon?

>>9681051
>kokichi from the DRV3
If the bag is white, you could try to imitate the embellishment on his coat (buttons, lacing, emblem).

>>9681068

But in all seriousness, bags like this and >>9680160 don't say "I fucking LOVE x!" It's more like they're saying "Yeah, I like x I guess." If they were WIPs they'd be ok, but as finished bags they're pretty damn pathetic.

>>9681072
Miu! I'm really hoping she'll get more rubber straps.
I'm also still a little unsure what base bag I'm gonna go with. So far I have two of the cat badges reserved (if you're in the FB group you probably know which anon I am lol) and two of the badges next to it preordered on AmiAmi.

Also, here's a lot that I keep seeing! I can't believe how much some of his merch goes for in the FB group. Bless your soul, anon.

>>9681120
> I can't believe how much some of his merch goes for in the FB group
I have always seen it as a convenience fee for not having to deal with goddamn otamart sellers.

>>9681120
Ah I loved Miu on my playthrough!
All of those are so cute, I like the one with lacing on it though it kind of hints at her BDSM stuff to people who have played the game lol.

>I can't believe how much some of his merch goes for in the FB group
Thank you for the link! Yeah it's fucking nuts to me, "character tax". I'll be sticking to otamart and y!japan auctions I think.

>>9677263
sorry lol, i got a bit lazy with slang and stuff. will make sure to use full name
holo bag has been ordered and shipped yesterday, i'm pretty hyped. this bag may take a while whilst i wait for more ndrv3 merch to come out, though.

>>9677378
tyvm anon. i'll ignore the school shooter comment. :P he's trying his best!

>>9678293
thank you anon! i've had a look on etsy already and i have a set of those badges on order. they're really cute and creatively done.

>>9677468
i'm sure it'll look great, anon! his aesthetic is super easy to get and he's probably one of the more merch-rich characters too. good luck! please post a wip sometime, i'd love to see progress.

>>9681051
>kokichi
10/10 taste anon

>>9681120
i'm adoring that top left bag with the ribbons!

>>9680160
The worst part about this is the fact that they're all from one set except the button. it's like they went "well, I wanted a character from this box but now I'm just going to stick them all on my bag because why not"

>>9681120
Which is the bag in the bottom left with the frills, haven't seen it before.

Also top choice she's awesome

>>9681068
Isn't this the same girl who keeps posting none stop "progress" pics in the UK group and asking the dumbest shit. I'm not surprised her bag is awful

Has anyone used clover's rosette maker to do rosettes yet?
I understand how they work with making a new one with the parts, but I'm a bit confused on is the sticker neccissary since you're going to use felt, and the fact that you wouldn't need to sew the rosette itself.

>>9681126
That is a good way to look at it!

>>9681196
That's what I was thinking as well! Thank you!

>>9681203
Thank you!

>>9681277
I can't find the Taobao link atm, so sorry about that. But here's the ebay link!

I haven't managed to take a decent pic yet, but I'll try again tomorrow if I manage to remember

>>9681355
I just sewed mine down without using the sticker, their only purpose is for lazy people

Finally debuted my BaldFat itabag last month! I'm planning to get a larger bag in the future to include the rest of the merch and play around more with fake gems and skating themed charms.

I know people are tired of YOI bags but the show and this pairing have given me so much joy I don't regret it in the least. Now if only there was enough merch for a Beatrice (Umineko) itabag, that would make me the happiest.

>>9681887
Very cute, I'm loving the embellishments and their rings above the window.

>>9681120
Those base bags are all super cute! I agree with other anon that the Wego one with the lacing fits her the most though. (also, I never noticed that the black button at the top right says "bitch" on it)
Please post when you're done, I'd love to see it.

>>9680649
How can these people see bags that are actually filled with merch and/or thoughtfully decorated and think "yeah, mine looks ok"

>>9680196
>"Alternative Fashion not Alternative Facts

what the fuck does that even mean

>>9681931
Seagulls running for office in 2020

Has anyone attached coasters to their bags? I was thinking attaching a pin to the coaster but I worry about how well that would hold, and velcro would make the position too permanent.

>>9682187
Depends on the type. I e6000'd a pin to the back of the metal coast and it works great and is usually the piece people love hte most when they see my bag. But if it's cork or paper it could be problematic. If it's paper maybe laminate it then give it a coat of resin?

>>9681931
Was curious myself, and googled it. Here's the description on the listing of the pin.

>While I try to keep out of politics, I am an aspiring punk designer, and I feel an important part of punk is fighting for a better world. As some of you know, I am only a part-time artist. By day I work as a nuclear engineer. I am a strong proponent of green energy, and I'm proud that I have a job that helps reduce green house emissions by facilitating correct data measurement in nuclear power plant facilities. I'm also proud to be an American, but recently the US government has been scaring me with its disregard for data. This is not about party lines. I do not claim to know what is best for our country, I am neither a law maker nor a politician. But I do know that it is important to have accurate, scientific data to support whatever policy decisions are made. The reprimands I would face if I falsified data on a report are significant. The quality assurance reprimands for even accidental, minor errors are significant. Our government should be held to the same standards. Silencing our scientists and cutting off funds for unbiased research is not the way to go.

>>9682204
Nayrt, do you think a similar method would work on a rubber coaster?

>>9682187
You can use a coaster cover. They're sold by Animate for 300 yen but I imagine you can find people reselling them if you want to avoid using their online store.

Working on my first bag and a bit of an issue came up in planning: how can I make sure everything fits in my bag?

>>9681281
>shit thats my group

gonna be addressing spam/pinning an FAQ to the front page again soon anon. Also might go over some house rules when it comes to help.

>>9682538

Would it be incredibly tacky to make a split black and white vaguely bear shaped bag as a base for Junko Enoshima?

>>9682569
Yes, but Junko herself is a pretty tacky gal, so it would loop back around into being suitable.

Next level kids. Step it up.

>>9682605
Not as good as the YOI onsen resort. Don't have pic though.

>>9682605
Very cute!

If anyone's interested, Lolita Desu has two of these Swimmer bags in stock in new condition: Solid:
http://www.lolitadesu.com/my-collection-bag-2-in-pink-from-swimmer/
And polkadot: http://www.lolitadesu.com/dot-collection-bag-in-pink-from-swimmer/

>>9682569
itabags are inherently tacky by nature, why not go all the way

>>9682605
Diorama bags? I can get down with that.

These types of bags are so visually satisfying.

Waiting for an actual release date before I preorder this disaster just so I can have the standee

Also has anyone seen any yellow backpack bases? I've found some shoulder bags, but I really want a yellow backpack and amazon/ebay are failing me

I admire this girl's dedication because actually her bags all look great!

But this is my first time seeing the bootleg swimmer and real swimmer and i think the bootleg actually looks better

>>9683016
Cavatina on Rakuten has a yellow star bag.
There's also hyonosen on ebay who has full window yellow backpacks.
I think WEGO makes yellow hearts bags too, but I'm not sure.

>>9683016
Wego still has their heart window bags in stock:
https://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00002X1H?colvar=U51
https://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00002W9F?colvar=U51

I own pic related from WEGO (in pink though) and it's a good size. It can fit quite a few charms and the window isn't too deep. I didn't find it on their site, maybe they will restock?

>>9682398
The best thing you can do is get/estimate the measure of your window and merch and try to make a mock up based off of those. I know people here have done them in photoshop before, but any decent imaging software (ie not paint) will work.

>>9683054
>hyonosen on ebay
They're just a reseller for the thankyou mart backpacks, which are cheap as fuck on their site and sold secondhand.

>>9683067
Anon, those bags were discontinued about a year ago, along with a few of their other backpacks. Similar ones have popped up on taobao, but I don't know if they come in yellow.

>>9683049
I adore her bags, they're all wonderful, and she's such a sweet heart. A+ taste, person, and craft. The roses on her original bag look really nice in person.

I think the legit swimmer looks better because it's obviously more solidly put together and keeps its shape nicer, but I like the detailing on the edges of the knock off, and I like the pastel color. It's a give and take. I"d be interested in comparing the feel of the material side by side in person some time, though.

>>9683067
>maybe they will restock
Lmao.

>>9683067
>This item is a reserved commodity
d-does this mean it's out of stock?

>>9683122
Read the replies, this and several other styles were discontinued by WEGO early this year (around January-ish).

They held a huge sale to clear out their inventory on a few styles of bags, and while there's been no official announcement on the subject, they haven't been in stock ever since.

>>9683110
I feel like with a good lining like a foam board the bootleg could hold it's shape too. I like that the window is separate as well since the swimmer just uses a button closure and I've always been worried about stuff being stolen or getting weather damaged. I like the stitching on the real thing, but for some reason I think the pleather looks nicer.

Though the polka dot version hnnngh so cute.

>>9681891
Copied from that old Victurri bag though.

Anyone interested in these? Saw them posted the other day and thought the first one was interesting despite the heart side looking stupid. Props to the person who commented about only seeing base bags instead of itabags! I don't have the heart to tell the person who responded the difference between a base and an actual itabag.

>>9683146
I'm assuming those are all taobao base bags. I know the first two are. The heart one also comes in a star shape and a bunch of different colors depending on the seller.

I really like that messenger style base bag, though, and I've never seen it posted before - if anyone has a taobao link I'd love to check it out!

I've got a really bad habit of putting together layouts before I've gotten all my merch, and I'm not sure if I want to stop. It's fun and helps pass the time while I wait for the rest, but then I've got to make a whole new layout once everything gets in and 80% of the time I can't use any cues from the old one. I've still got a buncha cards and the 2 official bits of pokecenter merch to get for this lil guy, if they ever restock the big can badges and charm sets.

>>9683122
They're taking preorders.
>>9683136
The anon was talking about the linked heart bags, not the discontinued ones.

>>9683146
These are all from taobao, that first one has different colors and a star version as well

Trawling through y!japan and otamart for merch is way too addicting, struggling to hold back paying 6000 yen on 5 badges.

Do you guys think it'd be possible to find merch from Yugioh GX for an itabag? Want to make one of Yohan.

Whats the best place to get good deals on badges and keychains? Goodsrepublic has alot of merch, but some of it sells for so much.

>>9683205
Literally just look for yourself instead of wasting your time asking here.

>>9683205
I know a ton of people on twitter who are really into YGO but I dont know enough to tell which is what season since there seem to be so many AUs.
It might be tough but i know ygo merch still exists at cons, and I saw blind box pins recently too.
Just do more digging and make friends with people in your fandom to make it easier on finding merch.

>>9683262
I love how those badges fit perfectly into the indents on the edges of the swimmer bag!

>>9683253
>Shin and Louis

>>9683205
another ygo anon.
these are your ordering options(?), thanks to the ygo cafe, ygo itabag peeps have a second chance to order more obscure characters. if all else fails? commissioning is your best friend.

>>9683359
>>9683656
Thanks for the help and tips anons. I was worried since it's been forever since GX was aired and it isn't Judai who I'm looking for, I wouldn't have much luck. I was able to find a few things. I'll definitely look into commissioning.

>>9683687
in addition, it helps to look up his katakana name: "ヨハン・アンデルセン" (with a quick search, otamart seems to have some things that might be of interest)

>>9683067
>>9683107
I'm still mad they discontinued them. They're above and beyond the best base bags they've ever put out.

>>9683742
I've been hoping ever since they'd bring them back. They sold fairly well, didn't they? I was pretty confused when they said they were discontinuing.

>>9683753
They sold out in a matter of a month or so if I remember right. I have no clue as to why they discontinued them. They've kept those damn heart bags around for years but didn't think these were good enough?

>>9683761
I don't even think the heart bags do that well. I see one legit bag for about ever 20 knockoffs.

>>9683790
They do well since they sell out a lot and pre orders are common, but I don't think WEGO can keep up with demand. That and eBay/Amazon is a lot easier for newbies to manage than ordering from a Japanese site. There are a ton of sellers that have the knock offs so they just flood the market.

>>9683800
That's good. I always forget that they have physical stores in Japan. At least the knockoffs only come in certain colors.

>>9683800
Just came back from Japan and any possible base bags are absent from Wego stores besides the fluffy faux fur kind. I think they are trying to distance themselves from the otaku image.

>>9683865
Depends on what stores you went to? I was there a week ago and one of the Harajuku ones has varies sizes of the double room tote and the one in Parco in Ikebukuro has the same as well as some heart window bags.

Hey can the owner of the UK itabag group for the love of god ban Alice W. Not only is she flooding the group with her fucking awful sailor moon bag, now she's sharing adverts with stolen bag images. Please stop this cancer

Another fb group post about what they should do their bag on.

To their credit, they're trying to narrow it down. But I still shake my head when seeing these posts. There needs to be flowchart quizzes on itabags. Any ideas?

>>9684308
Shitty pic of shitty draft. Edits?

>>9683146
Went to check on that comment, saw this. Not sure if she's just backpedalling or that fucking stupid.
She's also marked all of them up to at least $40 before shipping /and/ claiming they're branded. That fucking backpack alone is being sold by so many fucking shops.
I found the messenger bag though for anyone interested. https://world.tmall.com/item/557014427013.htm?sku_properties=134942334:28383

>>9680497
Late, but I would definitely do a search in Japanese for Zero stuff. Megaman is one of those game series that gets a lot more over there than in the west. Also, there's not limit on what merch you can and can't put it a bag--if it fits and you want it in, just do it!

>>9683146
>>9684348
Derp, dropped my pic

>>9684337

Flipped that for ya so other anons could read it.
Shit's way too fucking blunt in my opinion. plus I've seen a few people make really nice fanmerch and bags for their OCs.

>>9684183
On it. Don't have enough of a reason to ban just yet but don't worry, we're working on it. :^)

>>9684388
blunt seems like what we need desu. i would change the first branch from "my 12 OCs" to "my ten favorite anime" or something like that though since agreed people can make really nice OC bags plus at least thats still a cohesive theme.

And for anyone else who wants to join, I'm not opposed to having a few more gulls lurking.

>>9683110

The knockoff is vinyl, the legit Swimmer bag is just canvas. I just got one of the knockoffs for my bag and it's actually super sturdy. It's a little floppier because I think it may actually be a little deeper than the Swimmer bag? The vinyl is super thick though, getting a pin through it was hell when I was putting my bag together. It's also slightly iridescent.

>>9684455
Make a strike system or something?

>>9684499
Honestly we didn't expect people to start being that obnoxious. I've gone through and deleted all her spammy/dumb/pointless posts but I'll tell group owner when she makes the big ol' rules post to put that in. Thanks anon!

>>9684508
Bless you anon, I almost can't wait for the inevitable buttfrustration.

>>9684388
This flowchart makes it a bit awkward for me since I don't actually have itabags of my husbando, just of characters that I find cute and that have extra cute merch.

>>9684337
>>9684388
good start to the flowchart! I personally would include an end that has "congrats on your shitabag"

needs an option for multi-fandom itabag or not very cohesive theme.

>>9684388
I'd do "My 10 favorite characters" --> "Make a Conbag instead"

because conbags aren't bad or anything, I'm just sick and tired of them getting mis-tagged as itabags so I can't find any real itabags when I'm looking for them.

>>9684487
Vinyl is actually a negative for me, I vastly prefer canavs bags. They can self-heal a little bit after pinholes and I don't like the shiny look of vinyl.

Pals, I need help, my brother is interested in starting a small itabag and i was thinking of getting him a babbys first base bag for christmas, but most of the base bags are pretty girly, h e lp ??

>>9684540

That is totally reasonable. I personally don't like canvas because I've never had good luck with canvas bags, so I suppose it's a good thing that both versions exist!

https://otamart.com/items/16967504/

Any anons up for splitting this set? Really want the Kokichi strap but the seller wants to sell as a set.

Could somebody do a quick review of this swimmer bag? or link me to one?
I've been contemplating buying one, but I'd like more details on it since the stock photos are kinda small

>>9684569
*Link me to a review OF one

>>9684546
As a guy with an itabag, this is a really girly hobby and for the most part you just gotta own it. The messenger bag in >>9683146 is the most masculine bag I've seen in a long time - amiami had some other tiny messenger bags a while back, but I haven't seen them around lately.

The square backpack in the last thread would be alright >>9678726 in a more neutral color (black, red, blue, etc). The thank you mart backpacks are also a good option for a cheap small backpack but they're not as solidly made or nice looking.

>>9684569
>>9684573
What kind of review are you looking for? Or more specifically, what are your questions about it?

>>9683151
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=557014427013&spm=2014.21377422.0.0&sku_properties=134942334:28383 Here ya go anon!

>>9684566
Forgot to say that other than Kokichi there's Miu, Korekiyo and Angie.

Also I wouldn't be able to buy them to be shipped to me as I'm going on holiday soon so someone else in the order would have to do the ordering (sorry!!). Left email in name field.

Anyone have any guides or know-how people do the LED light inserts? Do they use regular christmas lights and cut a hole so theres a battery pack inside the belly of the bag itself or are they usually self made?
I wouldn't mind putting the work into soldering my own set if anyone had any tips.

>>9684607
A thorough one with nice clear pics of the outside and inside of the bag! I'd also like to know how big the bag is/what it looks like on someone's shoulder, and how much you can fit inside the clear plastic pocket as well as the bag itself!
I hope these aren't too demanding, but thank you to anyone who can fulfill my request!

>>9684625
just get those cheapo fairy lights they have on taobao/aliexpress that are attached to a tiny battery pack with a switch? I use them for cosplay all the time, they're usually less than a buck for a metre long strand. Usually the pack on those are so small you could get away with just hiding it in the bottom corner too, or if you wanted to be fancy go ahead and do what you said about feeding it through to the body I guess

>>9684625
Christmas lights seem like a bad idea, they tend to be pretty bulky and if you get the wrong sort they could be a fire risk. You probably want those "firefly" style ones like https://www.amazon.com/GDEALER-Battery-Operated-Christmas-Decoration/dp/B075XGM1C7/ref=pd_day0_86_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=EJY7SX504GDQPF84J648

>>9684546
>most of the base bags are pretty girly
Where have you been looking? Most base bags are neutral in design. "Girly" ones are a common sight because they're cute and popular but they're hardly the only choice you have.

>>9684626
do you have a pre-existing itabag?
if yes, what kind? I can give you comparison to sizings of cat-ear bag, star 2-way bag, heart knock off and a wego heart bag.

Personally, I haven't filled up my swimmer bag yet so I can't tell you how much merch. you can put inside of it.

>>9684701
I do! I have a Wego heart bag, so if you can compare it with that, it would be great, thank you!
aahh thats fine!

What do you guys do with your itabag? Do you use it regularly (if you can) or only for special occasions?

>>9684731
Can we add this to the FAQ?

>>9684731
Depends on where I'm going. If I know I'm going somewhere like a coworker gathering or work or something of course I'm just going to use my regular purse, but if im just hanging out with friends on the town or going shopping, yeah ill bring my bag.
But I think this varies from subject to subject especially since some bags are more obnoxious than others.
I just use the heart window bag and its casual enough that it gets me compliments from strangers who also happen to like the show/character without getting weird looks like a huge shoulderbag would.

>>9684731
I wear mine casually but it's not hugely conspicuous because I use babby's first heart bag as my base for now. I spent a lot of money on my merch so I don't want it to just rot at home.

>>9684569
I don't have the real swimmer so I can only do a review of the bootleg one if people would like that? Can never find the damn real thing for sale

>>9684813
I'd be interested in seeing the bootleg one. What color do you have?

>>9684569
I have one on its way to me! So I'll do one when I get it unless someone else has one and can do it for you.

>>9684813

i actually have the wego devil wing bag... i assume they're the same size?

when my bootleg comes, i can also compare to real swimmer too

>>9684833
Thanks Anon, i'll keep an eye out for your post then. Where do you order the bootleg from btw? Ebay?

>>9684701
i was wondering if the knockoff was bigger than the official heart bag, i just bought the official one and am wondering how much merch would fit in there and i assume most pics i see are knockoffs

>>9684842
I purchased the bootleg that was mentioned in the previous thread on ebay.
(https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222606636111))

>>9684845
the amount of things you can put inside the knock off vs the official wego heart seem to be about the same. the knock off is slightly more rectangular than the wego original. only difference is the inner lining of satin-feeling VS fake-plasticy waterproof fabric.

>>9684816
I've got a white one. It's actually really nice I was expecting this matt plain white but it's actually more Pearl! The black one is very slick as well. The window is made of a pretty nice thickness pvc it didn't feel cheap. My only complaint with the bag is the awful lining inside, it's the cheesiest cotton you can imagine it feels horrible. My window also came a bit scratched up but you can kind of buff that out.

Hi it's uk groups(head? ehh I relied heavily on my partner to answer to these posts) mod and I've just put up the main rules post when it comes to posting in the group and so forth. Sorry I didn't realise the extent of the spam sooner, we are now functioning on a 3 strike ban rule and hope to have everyone read and go other the rules shortly.

Please don't be afraid to message us directly for any critiques/issues too! We have pretty thick skins but I can see the appeal of the thread here for a rant.(I've frequented it often enough) Anyway hope to get the uk group more active soon, going to try and plan some meets in winter/spring.

Man, how much plastic is in that thing... I get trying to preserve merch but this just looks messy.

>>9685194
I love how mirrored Osomatsu merch looks, so clean

Want to make a bag with both Okumura brothers but don't want people to think I ship them. Will I just have to make separate bags or will that change nothing?

>>9685372
The double sided bags could work to your favor, one side for Rin and the other for Yukio?

>>9685197
i love this

I finally got this guy in the mail and was so excited to place him in my bag! Still working on making the bag itself better but I just adore this pin! Does anyone else have merch they were just as excited to receive?

>>9686087
i actually haven't received any of it yet, but i managed to get at least one of every piece of merch that was released over the past two weeks for my ultimate waifu. pic related, it's from my proxy and is easily what i'm most excited over since i can have one on both bags i have featuring him. i'm tempted to pick up a few more of them on auction but since he's a bonus for purchasing the whole box he's a little overpriced desu

>>9684516
>I don't actually have itabags of my husbando, just of characters that I find cute and that have extra cute merch
Not itabags then, peach.

What do you guys use for otamart - tenso, japonica? Neither from japan and zenmarket have given me good results.

>>9686207
FJ is usually fine for me if i'm not in a hurry, what problems have you run into? treasure japan, japonica, and PSJ are all good but their fees are a lot higher.

>>9686195
This. The most important "pain" of the the 4 pains of itabags is how painfully and shamelessly devoted you are. I think this is the most important distinction in what is and isn't an itabag.

>>9686220
Sellers keep cancelling on me.

>>9686267
because they hate gaijin or because of the delay from the quote process? switching proxies will only help if it's the latter, the former is unavoidable sometimes.

>>9686267
They hate filthy gaijin money. :(

Honestly if you really want something from otamart/mercari the only way to get them is to go with the proxy with the higher fees. Almost all the affordable proxies suck with otamart.

>>9686267
I've been having this issue with Zenmarket, but then I bought the same stuff through FJ and had no issues. That, and ZM has been taking forever. Once I finish my current haul with them I'm no longer using them.

Japonica has the best service imo, but like the other anon said, they can be a little pricey.

>>9684972
Let's see

They steal photos of other brands (wego), class them as their own exclusive bags, buy cheap bags from taobao in bulk then try to flog them at $40 a pop because it's "their brand". Don't even give them the website hits

>>9686195
>>9686249
someone gets it.
people collect merch just for aesthetics and/or good prices and put it in a bag

>>9686195
I just like the aesthetic and shamelessly hoarding merch. Sorry if it triggers you. Imo, if it looks like an itabag and quacks like an itabag, then it's an itabag regardless of what kind of passion was behind it.

Did anyone catch this on the facebook page? Seems like a colossal waste of money if she doesn't even know the series.

>>9686451
I saw it but didn't bother to read what they said. I wish I hadn't because this is the dumbest thing I've read today.

It saddens me that people are completely missing the point and spirit of itabagging. Why would you want to blow your money on something you don't know/care about? What if her daughter ends up liking a different character? Also why does a 7 year old need an itabag?

>>9686438
>sorry if it triggers you
Sounds like you're the one upset that your con bag isn't considered an itabag.

>>9686451
I want to know how much she paid for that to be honest and where she got it all.

>>9686438
This is the same argument people use to put whatever they what on from Hot Topic and call it lolita

>>9686438
Lol "trigger" please lurk more you're fucking embarrassing to read.

>>9686451
I bet she bought it all on her partner's credit card lmao I feel genuinely bad for the itabaggers who'd kill for those bases.

is it possible to order from mercari with any proxies?

>>9686118
Ahhhhh fellow sb69 anon! Glad to see some rep for the series, I have plans for a Crow bag once I finish my current project. Please share once yours is done!

>>9686454
it's what happens when young weebs have children kek

>>9686087
They're all being ordered/waiting to be shipped, but I've managed to nab every plush of my favorite pokemon in the last month or so! He's also got an official strap recently, which I'm probably gonna get more dupes of sice toysanta restocked him. I had to try this out while laying out ideas and I fucking love it.

>>9686528
I checked her profile and it's all "I love yaoi!" Mixed with "omg don't let your kids do that"

I feel like she's projecting onto her daughter and the kid just wants some littlest pet shop or something

Anybody else feel like the swimmer knock off totes are the new heart bags?

>>9686525
oh damn, i definitely will! same for you anon, crow is a good choice... scz is my second favorite band after my obvious bias so i 100% approve. if you end up needing any stuff for him hmu because he always gets leftover in splits for me somehow, including those mochi mascots lol

>in the general itabag comm

It literally takes no time to google "decorative tape"

>>9686523
yes

>>9686458
So a con bag is any merch collection bag that doesn't feature your waifu/husbando? Please be joking. I'm not saying put whatever you want on a bag and call it an itabag, but trying to police the relationship the itabagger has with the subject matter is stupid. People who make Rilakkuma itabags don't necessarily want to marry Rilakkuma.

>>9686465
No, my point is that even if you don't have a lolita lifestyle, if you wear lolita fashion then you're still a lolita. Even if someone builds an itabag for a character they don't passionately love, it's still an itabag if it's full of merch targeting a specific character/series/pairing. It's not the reason that's important, it's the method and final result.

>>9686577
>I don't actually have itabags of my husbando, just of characters that I find cute and that have extra cute merch

Look. This post made it sound like you're defending bags that just have whatever the fuck you want in them. Not necessarily a single character or theme. But it sounds like you're actually just talking about itabags that still have a theme but the devotion level isn't necessarily that high. Can understand our confusion?

>>9686577
>It's not the reason that's important, it's the method and final result.
suuure.

>>9686586
Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. Sorry about that, I should have omitted the "s" in "characters" or something so it didn't sound like I was mix and matching them randomly. I have multiple itabags, hence why I said "characters" (because there are multiple characters I found cute enough to make an itabag for). I see why some people care about the intent for an itabag to be an itabag, but I'm more aesthetic oriented.

>>9686573
the group never fails to entertain in its stupidity

>>9686525
it makes me so happy to see more sb69 fans doing itabags. Feels lonely with my far too many furryband bags and not enough arms to carry them all with.

I made an ISO post in the sales group and literally three people commented on my post asking for stuff for themselves like dammit make your own post

>>9686563
Yes. It's not as popular as the heart bags since it seems like some of the scrubs are still too scared to use a proxy, but it's getting there.

>>9686984
I hate it when this happens. Go tell them to fuck off

>>9686573
I legit have that tape but with a different pattern, i bough it at the craft store. Why doesn't she just go and check her local hobby store?

>>9686563
Nah it's the bootleg To Alice ones since they're up on Amazon now. I rarely see a knockoff swimmer compared to the sea of wego (bbys 1st) and toalice (so cute for my jojo char!) Fakes.

>>9686577
For the love of god stop posting. I'm cringing so hard are you 14 trying to be smart? Do you even read what you're writing. How did you end up on 4ch to begin with?

>>9687254
They're being totally reasonable and you're the tryhard here.

That's like saying >>9686451 isn't going to be an itabag when it's done. It's probably going to be ugly and poorly sorted, since there's no love behind it, but it's still going to be an itabag. If you saw it on the street or at a con you wouldn't think 'lol what a conbag' you'd think 'that itabag needs some improvement'.

>>9686984
Happened to me too, I was this close to telling them to make their own post.

>>9686563
Are swimmer bags really that bad? I mean, at least the knockoff looks good, not like the shiny cheap window on heart bags.

Just finished my first bag! I scored a ton of Tsukki merch a couple months ago and finally received a base bag for him. I still have enough for a second bag, so I'm hoping I can start on that soon! I'd love some concrit on this though before I get started on that.

>>9687395
rip let's try that again

>>9687254
Take your own advice.

>>9687384
I think Swimmer bags look a lot nicer than the knockoffs, but the knockoffs are still pretty cute. Though, I'm a tad bitter about that black line below the scalloping.

I really want to get started on a Shinguji ita bag but I have no idea where to start when it comes with a base. His shade of green is very dark so black would be a safe idea right? But the thing Is I don't know what style base I should use, definitely not the heart shaped base, and preferably something not to big cause danganronpa doesn't have merch to begin with. I want to add some salt shaker pins and red rope to the bag...any thoughts?

>>9687400
you tried.jpg

>>9688043
You could get a black bag and then make a white insert maybe to get the contrast? And DRV3 has a fair amount of merch actually, take a look on myfigurecollection.

Stellar choice in character by the way! The red rope and salt shaker pins sound like they'd be super neat.

>>9688043
Oops misread, maybe a base like this?

https://gocart.jp/ap/item/i/A0GC00008U4Q

I want to make a good bag for a series with no merch, not even fanmade. Besides my own self-drawn charms and screenshot buttons what else can I include? I hope this doesn't come off as spoonfeeding, I'm genuinly curious how other anons have approached this challenge.

>>9688119
Is this bait? Read the fucking thread.

>>9688122
You're right, there was a really similar question at the beginning of the thread, my bad.

I'm actually making my friends all small ita bags for xmas gifts. We go to a convention the first weekend on new years together and always get pins so I figured they could use the bag for toiletries and protect their new pins at the same time. Working on a shoulder backpack for my little bro too.

>>9685197
this is my favorite bag

>>9688125
So you're making them base bags, not itabags.

>>9687395
This is super cute anon! You have some of the merch I really want, that rectangular badge in particular!! I feel like there are a few gaps you could maybe fill in? (then again im no itagbag expert)

I rearranged mine a few days back but I'm still not 100% happy with it....

Out of curiosity, I am making an ita bag but have the joy of wanting to make one from a series that has almost no ita bag like merch to use. Have any of you ever just thought about a bag and given up just cause it was such a dead series/character and what series/character was it?
I'm still going to make mine no matter what but I have reaslied it will be a few years before any decent merch for it will be available again.

Do the WEGO stores in Japan keep a good stock pf their bags? This bag is on preorder, release in December. I'm going to Japan in the beginning of January and it would be a lot easier to grab it while I'm there. But I don't want to miss put in case they sell out fast. I might have to ask my friend in Tokyo to just pre order it for me.

>>9688370
Not all wego stores sell itabags but the ones that do are well stocked with their current range in my experience.

>>9688317
>ita bag
i'll bite, though. im sure we all have a few "id like to do obscure x thing but" thoughts (mine is five from drakengard 3), those options usually aren't PRIMARY loves though which is why that gets said.

however my main waifu has almost next to none of the standard baggable merch and all of it is ridiculously expensive thanks to limitation in release plus popularity. still making bags anyway. by the time you reach this board most of us are here to represent our faves come hell or high water so asking about what we gave up on is a little silly desu.

>>9686573
What even is the fb group at this point
Is it bad that I just love to watch how shitty it can get?

>>9688570
Some people just like to watch the world burn

>>9686984
what was it about

>>9688317
My bag is from on an ongoing never ending cashcow franchise so I'm blessed with merch. But yeah, if you want to make a bag from a older series or one that stopped airing it can be a nightmare to find stuff, even fan merch.

Dedication knows no bounds though it's still possible. If you love them enough you'd still do it anyway.

>>9688317
ygo anon. here, I was blessed with the DSOD movie, and my character merch rose from the ashes like a phoenix. but before that, it was sad that i couldn't find any merch for my fave.

its hard, but anon...
i recommend commissioning charms and artwork.
for both, ask the artist if it isn't too much trouble to use a palette you provide, so that your merchandise can match each other to an extent (if that is your goal)
for artwork, look for icon based commission pieces and make square badges on WackyButtons
for charms, it never hurts to ask when their commissions open.

>>9685197
Aaaayyy that's my bag!

>>9685737
>>9688146
Thank y'all,
I'm still trying to make it better and debating on expanding to a bigger bag and going crazy!

>>9688945
Who is you favorite character fellow ygo anon? I'm currently working on collecting things to put together a bag myself.

I freaking love this character, probably my favorite out of any anime. I've been collecting figures and with a typical order I add a little bit of Laala merch. I don't have much I could put in a bag right now, but I'm considering starting an itabag for her and it's making me a little excited.

>>9688634
I deleted it because it was getting annoying but I asked for the masato/blue ver of those utapri backpacks

>trying to cope when your #1 true husbando has literally zero merch and your too poor to commission enough to fill a bag

anyone else living this hell? i'm holding out hope that each of the team bosses will get a strap or something for the rainbow rocket thing in the new games, but if it didin't happen for the pokecenter secret team promotion i doubt it.

need some opinions

for an all might bag: red or yellow base bag? or a different color?

i have a blue bag right now, but it makes all the merch blend in too much for my liking.

>>9688370
I just came back from Japan and made sure to poke around in most of their stores since I very spur of the moment, decided to make a new bag while over there. I was surprised to find their range was very limited, so to be safe, maybe preorder it?

>>9689112
lots of people have made maxie merch tho, no need to commission.

>>9689113
make a yellow and red insert instead of switching imo

>>9689112
>too poor
No such thing. Save money.

>>9689025
>Laala itabag in the works
Outstanding taste anon. I currently collect for Shion and Gaaromagedon bags so I'm excited to see your bag come together! A yellow bag would be super cute!

>>9688219
thanks for the feedback! i have a few stickers that i might fill the spaces with. i was super lucky with the merch pack haha

your bag is super cute! i love the mirror design and the top so much

>>9688981
not going to out myself, but if you belong to the facebook group and post your ygo bag, I'm bound to respond to it and offer suggestions. :D

>>9689112
>has literally zero merch
Anon, how hard did you look? Finding this shit took me like fifteen minutes, granted I knew about the can badge and to check for trading cards. Even if you specifically wanted OG Maxie and not his ORAS version, you could still get a buncha dupes of the one trainer card and use the little magma pins as embellishments. It also feels like a lot of people here are forgetting it's totally ok to make your own things using offical art, screencaps, etc, so that's another option you can take. I went ahead and found a couple of the can badges on otamart for you, he's マツブサ

>>9686567
Crow was love at first sight for me. I finally cosplayed him after a year but my group bailed on me. Still had fun though. I'm in the debate of what base bag I want since I don't want a backpack but I love the cat ear ones and would love an embellishment like that for him. I will definitely take any leftovers you have of him though, especially mochis!! I'll make a throwaway email and hit you up later!

>>9686894
I feel, anon! I appreciate that people still like the series, I got my friends into it but one only cares about Titan and the others don't appreciate it on the whole as much as I do.

Tokage anon from last thread here! I finally finished getting everything attached. There's a bit of empty space above the plush that I didn't expect, but aside from that I'm really happy with it!
Also, for whoever asked last thread, Tokage is a baby dinosaur, but he keeps it a secret and says he's a lizard (hence the name). Specifically, he's a plesiosaur. He had a theme where he got to see his mom again and it was cute as hell! There's a couple of pieces of them together in my bag.

>>9689361
That's super cute! Mogura is my favourite with his little boots but he's not popular, so he's not really gotten onto anything. I have two plushies of him and that's it...

>>9689025
Laala has a TONNE of cute merch!! Good luck with your bag anon! Her colour scheme is so cute and sweet!

>>9688370
link to preorder?

>>9689361
So cute. I still love the cult worship pic you posted with the little ones surrounding the big one.

>>9689531
It says on the thread twice that it's a WEGO bag. Stop being lazy.

What is the stance on making your own fanmerch for your itabag?

>>9689660
Good if there's little/no official merch, only really bad if there is a lot of official merch but you fill the entire bag with fanmade.

>>9688317
My .hack bag was falling in this category until they decided to suddenly revive the franchise and released more merch in a single summer than they released in 15 years.

At least more artists these days are taking charm/keychain commissions and it's easy to make your own buttons using screencaps/manga panels so even if there's not a ton of official merch you can always express your dedication through fanmade goods!

>>9689721
>making buttons with screencaps/manga panels
Not that anon, but I never thought to do this. I might try it.

>>9689670
The person I want to make a bag for doesn't have a lot of official merch since he isn't main character and is only there for about a season and a half. I definitely want to get his straps since it seems like people are selling those more than the one button I can find of him.

I wanted to redraw the his scenes from the anime and turn them into buttons. Wanted to make it a sort of progression type deal.

I don't understand how someone can make such an awful looking bad from a franchise that has it's own physical store

>>9689850
Is that spraypainted cardboard as the backing?

>>9689660
Totally fine!

There's a divide in the community between people like >>9689732 who think fan merch should be your "last resort" of sorts and other itabaggers who use fan merch because they actually like it. It's the difference between baggers who enjoy itabagging primarily as a collectors hobby VS baggers who enjoy it primarily as a aesthetic/crafty/fashion hobby. Blows up into a drama fest in the thread sometimes, but basically boils down to itabags are highly dependent upon personal taste, and whatever you think looks best or makes you happiest goes.

>>9689897
I don't know if it was a misquote, but >>9689732 is actually me as well.

I was inspired by some fanart that drew him in different situations and clothes. I thought it'd be a fun and still cohesive idea to redraw his scenes and turn them into buttons since the reason he became my favorite character in the whole series (and one I liked since middle school) was because I enjoyed watching him and the scenes he was in among other things.

I was a little apprehensive at first, but responses like yours and comments like >>9689721 have pushed me into going through with the idea.

Don't know how long it'll take for me to complete it since it's going to be a process, but I'll definitely be sharing the end results here since I'm not a part of any groups on other platforms.

From Instagram

>>9689949
That's super cute, holy shit.

>>9689933
it was a misquote, sorry! I meant >>9689670

Please post your bag when you finish it or have some good WIPs! It sounds like a really neat idea!

>>9689884
I.. I have no idea..theres a staple on the right it's like they started spraying but gave up? Its just such a disgusting mess

>>9690022
It's fabric, you can see the wrinkles coming off the Genis badge in the bottom corner. And the brownish parts are actually a sparkle gold if you look closely? So I think this was an unfortunate fabric choice but I can kind of see what they were going for.

Man, I use staples too on my backing boards because I'm lazy as fuck and don't sew, but on anything that has a flush edge I'll use fabric hot glue instead.

>>9689949
I just.. fuck. I can't handle how cute this is.

I see sets on otamart where only a couple items are sold out on the single listing with all the charms, how can I buy just one of the set?

>>9690065
tell that to your proxy when you put in the order?

>>9689949
Anyone have any more diorama style bags? These are next level.

Found a base bag on Aliexpress I haven't seen posted before! I bet the words would come off in two seconds. It has a separate zippered compartment for the merch window and everything.

>>9690214

>>9690385

What do you use to get print off of plastic? Just 100% acetone? That's what I use when re-painting dolls but I have never tried it with this kind of plastic.

>>9690422
Yup any nail polish remover without colorant is fine. For some reason colored remover stains the plastic. Also you might need mineral oil to buff it out if it becomes cloudy.

Got a new heart backpack for a second Allen bag and working with a layout. I feel like the outside could use some decoration but not quite sure what.

>>9690491
My immediate thought was Crown Clown mask with feathers but I feel like the feathers would be a pain in the ass shedding-wise

>>9689325
there are some cat ear crossbody bag options, they're a little small but it might be cute if you decorated one to resemble him? my email's here btw, feel free to drop me a line whenever even if it's just to chat about the series in general. i'd always love to have more people to talk to about it!

>>9689850
atrocious setup aside, does anyone have a link for this bag? I've been searching everywhere but can't seem to find it.

>>9689325
Are you me? I love Crow, was thinking about a cat ear bag for him, and I only have one friend who is interested in the series—Titan is her favorite as well. Glad to see so many people in this thread supporting the series!!

>hasn't managed to find it on eBay somehow

>>9690716
I'm not finding that exact model on ebay. Maybe be helpful instead next time?

>>9690722
>cant even do a simple search on ebay
nayrt but your newfag is showing. Please lurk more.

>>9690734
Yes, I am very new to ita bags. I don't really know what else to put in as a search term other than "ita bag" "clear tote bag", etc. I am getting bags that are very similar but not the exact one in that image, so that's why I'm asking. I'd like to buy this bag very soon, so no I can't really lurk more and waste time.
I'm genuinely just looking for help here, but maybe I'm just blind, I've looked through many pages already.

>>9689325
I've noticed the fandom might be tiny, but it's extremely dedicated to loving this weird series.

Posting one of my bags dedicated to my disaster waifu, because I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy from seeing so many sb69ers in here.

>>9690755
Chill anon. I posted about the bag in this thread (>>9684890), might be what you're asking for.

"can't lurk more and waste time." What's stopping you?

First. read the FAQ that was linked above and it would have shown you links to itabags (to my memory)

Second. these threads might be long, but it's worth reading to avoid looking like an idiot. But that's not my business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>9690755
You looked everywhere but the faq apparently kek ffs it actually gives you the search term for taobao and it's one of the first listed. You didn't even fucking try anon..out of pure spite I'm not going to link it.If you can't even find such an easy bag your bag is probably gonna end up shit anyway.

>>9689124
Thank you! I'll ask my friend to preorder it then so I can pick it up from her when I'll be in Tokyo.

>>9690755
Sorry, Anon, you had the misfortune to ask for one of the four most common base bags. (By my reckoning: heart bag knock off, cat ear backpack, toAlice knockoff, Swimmer knockoff <- this is the one you asked for) But it also took me like 20 pages of clicking and three different search terms to find this specific bag on taobao, and I didn't find it on ebay or ali, so I'm going to throw you a bone here.

If you're new to ordering from china, I like taobaotrends as my preferred shopping service. Their fees are alright and the shopping cart system is really easy.

>>9690755
Maybe if you weren't retarded and knew how to spell itabag. It's the fourth result on eBay.

>>9690875
I'm chill, sorry, was just super tired and stressed out. I honestly don't know how I missed that, I did see the real swimmer bag and probably skimmed over that link thinking it was a link to that one.
I have some money set aside for this and I don't want to hold onto that anymore, is what I meant.

>>9690961
I put in every search term from the faq. Of course I read the faq before posting. I found the bag, but no it was not on the first page and it took a while to find.

>>9691065
Thank you, I really appreciate it. I actually found it earlier but like you said I had to go through like 20 pages. Thank you for the advice!

>>9691092
It literally is not showing up for me for some reason. I see all the other results in that photo though. (I did type itabag the first time, my phone autocorrected on the post)

>>9691123
>i looked everywhere!!!
>except the faq, toabao, ebay, and this thread
>b-but i read the faq before posting!!

Please stop.

>>9691123
It's okay anon, you goofed, it happens. No need to get defensive, just learn from this and move on.

>>9691168
Oh I didn't mean to come off as defensive. I really appreciate the tips I got! I just thought it was strange that the listing isn't showing up on ebay for me and I'm wondering if I'm the only one with this issue? I even took keywords from the listing in this image >>9691092
I had my roommate check too and it is also not showing up for him.

>>9691192
After logging out of my account and searching, I found the bag, so it looks like there's something up with my search settings.

>>9691192
>>9691209
Anon please stop. Like >>9691168 you don't have to keep defending yourself. Nobody cares.

>>9691209
it's probably related to it being a sponsored listing. i had some trouble trying to search it up too until i tried on my phone. it does get linked here pretty frequently tho

>>9690810
i like how you arranged the duplicate art badges, they make a good frame! i wish they'd give us more variety in the art they put on them... the fact that they did yet another set of perm UR buttons with the cafe is pretty annoying for us original band baggers desu even if i'm happy for tie-in fans.

>>9691265
my point was to see if anyone had the same issue because it would be a problem in the future for me, and potentially others. See it how you like.

>>9691270
Ok i just went onto ebay.com put in itabag and it's the first 3 listings. Anon plz stop trying to defend yourself here, just admit you didn't look and move on.

MOVING ON

Anyone got any pics of itabags with chains done well? I can only find terrible facebook quality. There's some cute chains on taobao i'd love to grab but i want to see if it's possible to make it look good

>>9691321
i only have some recent posts on this computer, but here's a few i thought were done pretty alright.

>>9691339

>>9691341

>>9691339
Why the fuck are you dumping in a thread that's in autosage?

>>9691346
i'm a fucking idiot and didn't even realize

>>9691270
Dude shut the fuck up already.

>>9691123
If you're already "stressed out" just finding a commonly found knockoff bag, then spending hundreds of dollars on a hobby that requires a bit of internet research is gonna be hard for you. Stop trying to make excuses for your dumb shit.

>>9691369
>>9691408
you guys are making yourselves look stupid, stop responding when its already over. Stop derailing the thread with your petty anger they already found the bag hours ago shut the fuck up

>>9691415
>derailing
It's in autosage dumbass.

>>9691417
didnt notice

>>9689314
Hey, thanks for finding those! Yeah, the issue I'm running into is that I really prefer his RSE design and the small amount of merch I've found for him is for ORAS (in fact someone just posted a Maxie itabag on tumblr and they did have a decent amount of merch, but it was entirely ORAS) I do plan on incorporating his trainer card into the bag and plan to also make my own buttons. Not sure how good it'll look, but it's something at least.

That's adorable. I had to stop collecting pins and stuff for a while, but now that I've moved, I need to catch up on getting matsu stuff.

The sheer amount that I've missed out on makes me want to die.
