Ita Bags

[cinderlite]

Ita bags! Wonderful things, them! They're one of my favorite hobbies, even if they are an expensive one. There's nothing quite like wearing your ita bag out in public, where people comment on it occasionally. Not to mention the shocking number of fans who stop you (Homestuck) for a quick chit-chat about it. I love it. More than love it, I adore it. I have more ita bags than I need -- and I'll keep getting more, too. I have three of the same kind because it's cheap and big, fits perfectly. I have more than them, though. I have a cauldron (for Snape), a frog, and a switch bag that I haven't included here (let me know if you want to see them, I'd be happy to take pictures of them!). I love finding unique bags. It's so gratifying. ♥

What do you think of all the charms and pins I've collected? The first bag is for Homestuck, full of Strilondes, and the second bag is for Persona 5 Royal, and has Shuake/Akeshu. The final bag is just a generalized Gravity Falls one, though it's lovely as well. I love the moon on it. It's so pretty. I bought a new bag recently for Good Omens, and I'm just waiting on the charms and pins for it to arrive, so I can start putting it together. I'm hoping that over the next few months, more and more charms and pins will become available since Season 2 just finished, and it's incredibly popular right now.

I never knew these had a name. The whole concept is very cool. Whenever I see one in public, I usually recognize the fandoms and go !!!

Yeah! They're a Japanese phenomenon, and they're incredibly neat. They're one of my favorite things. ♥ Thank you! I can't wait to assemble my Good Omens one. ♥

I love them all, but as a recently lapsed P5 fan, the akeshuake one is !!! SOOO cute. I love the mirroring you've done--it fits the way the game sets them up as thesis/antithesis so well!!

THANK YOU. I really appreciate it. I put a lot of effort into setting it up, and I'm glad it came across the way I wanted it too. ♥ It's been a lot of fun and I got half of those charms recently for my birthday (which is tomorrow!), so I'm really thrilled with it. ♥

Oh!!!! Happy birthday for tomorrow!!! I hope you have a wonderful day 💖💖

:D Thank you so much!! I appreciate it! My partner and I are going to go get a cake in about 20 minutes, and I am so excited. I don't have much planned for my birthday, but I'm quite content. I'll probably make a post about it tomorrow. ♥

I also didn't realize this had a name! Or, at least, a specific name for a specific kind of trend happening, since having pins and little knickknacks on bags has been happening for a long time.

I also like that the bags have a clear plastic protectors so you don't accidentally lose any of the pins and charms and trinkets you have. That's a fear I have whenever I put something on my bags, even something like a keychain charm can get lost if you're not careful. So that's very smart.

Yeah! Ita bags are extremely popular. You can find them on Amazon, but you'll find the more unique ones on Etsy. I got my of my bags from Etsy, usually for around $60-100. It's not a cheap hobby, but it is a fun one. I love it when people stop me to ask about it. It happens more often than I thought it would, even though I live in the middle of no where, haha. And yes, my favorite thing about them is that you don't actually risk the pins or charms because even if they fall, they're still well protected. You put a lot of money into it, so it's nice to be able to keep them safe!
