I used to buy absurd amounts of fan merch for a certain series I like because there are so few people drawing for it so I bought whatever I could find. I ended up with like three itabags for it made mostly out of fanmerch with a lot still left over, though there is what itabag-able official merch I could find on there, plus I buy other merch and dvds to support the series. I didn't buy the fan merch specifically to make itabags with, but I just ended up with so much that I needed a way to store them nicely.

I do agree to some degree that if a series has a lot of itabag-able people should stick to official merch as much as possible but at the same time, a lot of official merch tends to look really samey which leads to a lot of similar-looking bags, which may then lead to people wanting to use fanmerch for a more unique and personal bag. Plus, some series have merch that is technically itabag-able but is ugly/doesn't fit certain base bags aesthetically or physically.

Sorry for the ramble, pic to contribute.
