✦Itabags✦

I currently have: 3 itabags!

// Miku UWA Itabag by BEMOE

  • my first ever itabag :3
  • this is the bag I take with me when I'm out all day and need to carry a lot of stuff; it's great for cons!
  • big fan of the side pockets, I usually put my power bank in there

// The Classic Itabag by Mualcaina

  • my casual going out bag <3
  • I really like the window design, even if it's only optimized for displaying pins

// Ita-backpack by STEAMEDBUN

  • my old school bag gave out & I needed a new one... so I had a legitimate excuse to buy another itabag LOL
  • I've lost a couple of pins/buttons before, so I'm really looking forward to using this one where they're safe and protected <3

✦ Itabag Insert Gallery ✦

Sometimes I reuse backings and/or throw together one-off inserts, so I want to document all the ones I've made!

First itabag insert I ever made!! Of course it had to be Miku <3

I made the doll back in middle school; for a while I was really into making felt dolls, kinda wanna revisit it one day.

  • Sakura Miku button - I bought it from a (now closed) Taobao store called 森林里的熊先生 and this is their "奇迹ミク" series; no idea who the original artist is
  • acrylic keychains - Maple
  • Snow Miku 2013 / 2022 - 西名
  • Snow Miku 2018 / 2020 - 瓶生 (purchased from Taobao store 笑酒工坊)
  • Bottle Miku - koichame

  • Fandom: Detroit: Become Human
  • Characters: Connor & Hank

I think this is the first time I bought merch and materials specifically to use in an itabag. I really like the white flowers.

This bag kinda unintentionally became a HankCon bag lol. I don't mind HankCon as a ship, but I see them more as family.

Itabags always look so good when photographed under sunlight <3

It's my son JWST!! I thought using the mini clock charm was pretty clever on my part because of the whole telescope seeing back in space time shebang. Some day I'll make a proper rosette for him.

  • pin - LaunchPins
  • mission patch - A-B Emblem
  • keychain - purchased at the California Science Center
  • art by me

YOINK

At some point I added a little more decor to the insert. Compared to before it looks so much more complete <3

Moon Duo = Human Lunar Spaceflight Spacecraft NASA Edition

I tried to be creative with the layout... Not 100% satisfied with how it turned out :P I think it's because there's not a clear color scheme.

Rocket yuri save me...

I painstakingly made the paper flowers (didn't have construction paper and had to use colored pencil💔) but it's soo pretty!! Really happy with how it turned out, I think this is one of the prettiest inserts I've made.

ALNST photocards from an art collab I participated in! The theme was dessert.

Behind the Luka photocard is a Hyuna I drew :]

  • Character: Nightshade

Couldn't find enough merch that I liked so I did it myself 💥

(jk there was a couple of keychains I wanted but the shipping price was NOT it💸)

I thought about making this a repeat bag but I feel like using non-offical merch goes against the spirit. Now that I think about it, Nightshade only has a single official merch and it's their toy...

A simple layout for oshikatsu purposes! Miku plushie + Megatron toy because I wanted to take photos of them, and I kinda just filled the rest of the space with newly acquired goods I got from Anime Expo.

Kind of a MegOp bag with Miku attached lol.

  • Racing Miku jet tag - official Good Smile goods
  • Optimus - cyndachoo
  • Megatron - zhyphenth
  • Miku nui - idk if this is for sale, I got it as a claw machine freebie at AX2025

My wife and my daughter (they are not related whatsoever).

Another bag with completely unrelated characters because I wanted to take photos of both of them lol. Threw this one together pretty quickly, just a temporary one-time insert hence the lack of decorations.

Rearranged the buttons to fit my custom keychain!! I'm too scared to put it outside of the bag lol I am NOT taking the chance of losing it. One day I'll buy their toy and make a truly complete itabag trust.

Also meggy is there because I got the plushie recently and wanted to take photos of him. Funny thing is, I bought the pouch because I thought it would be perfect for Megatron, even though at the time all the toys I have are too big to fit in there LMAO. I knew I would buy more merch eventually :P

Wanted to put some plushies in the top section and these three were the perfect size. My oshis yay ❤️

The bottom section was supposed to be all pins but I didn't have enough pins LOL. (Technically I have more but they aren't fandom-related and I don't like them that much anyway.) A bit of everything, pretty much covers all of my major interests: Vocaloid, Transformers, spaceflight... and reading fanfics :P

The Racing Miku jet tag is currently one of my favorite piece of merch I own; I'll probably keep it on my backpack for a long time.

  • Racing Miku jet tag - official Good Smile goods
  • water-type Pokemiku acrylic keychain - sxilin
  • Adachi Rei acrylic keychain - ollieollie
  • aro/ace dragon pins - chaobunnyarts
  • AO3 pin - eunisyn
  • Artemis I pin - purchased at the Griffith Observatory
  • JWST pin - LaunchPins
  • Melt Miku - califlair

  • space shuttle pin - purchased at the California Science Center

Now that I have Nightshade's toy, my Nightshade bag is finally complete 💚 Made this for a local artist alley! Would've put more decors but I didn't have any with me. I really like how the beads look... made it the day before at a craft event put together by my uni's LGBT center :3

Got some new stickers that I wanna show off, but didn't want to change my laptop sticker layout yet. Then I had a stroke of genius and was like WAIT I can display them in my itabag!! Added more keychain charms too.

The redacted stickers are school related :]

The bag window is the perfect size for two plushies! I really like this Dpax photocard, I've been treasuring it since I got it at Anime Expo this year. It goes so well with the photocard holder <3
