What’s an ita bag?

It sounds like a self-shipping trend where you decorate it as much as possible to vibe with your fave and their aesthetic! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Idk if I’m fully qualified to answer this as I only just started really collecting pins and stuff/making ita bags but! I will do my best to explain

From what I understand at least it’s not so much a selfship thing and just more of a general fandom thing! Especially for anime and mangas. Basically you collect pins/buttons/keychains whatever of your favourite character and display them in a bag with a window.

Usually they’re more put together than this but this is what my current everyday bag looks like and it’s a bit similar to what you could imagine.

Ita means painful or something similar in japanese and I heard that the name comes from it being painful to look at or painful for your wallet(from buying so much merch)

There was some weird discourse on tiktok about them but from what I can tell there isn’t a right or wrong way to make one! It really is just a fun and REALLY expensive way to show your love for a character/media- totes recommend any selfshipper get into them lol

Here’s some extra examples since mine is obviously not very good, these are just off google

I have plans to make a couple ita bags- i wand to make one for Hatsune Miku, one for Frieren and maybe even one for Chilchuck and Ogata and princess peach idk. Obviously I don’t have a crazy amount of disposable income so this will take awhile, even the Mario one is going to be a wip for awhile but I’m super excited to get the stuff I ordered in for it.

I’ve made a post about this before but it suuuuucks mario isn’t a fan favourite so he doesn’t have as much cute fun fanmade merch, like I almost considered buying a button maker just so I could get some of my favourite renders/movie screenshots as pins but it’s like $100 😪 if anybody knows any Etsy shops or something that have cute Mario pins pleaaase tell me I will buy them all immediately anyway enough rambling.

I hope this was an adequate explanation <3
