Was planning on getting Diamond Honey Itabag because it would go great with lots of the OTT coords I'm workin on. Sadly It's out of stock on Taobao. Lurking for it rn

>What do you use to carry your necessities, whether it's a con or a tea party?
I don't go to cons or tea parties but I have a variety of purses of different sizes, many of them are black to match the majority of my wardrobe and most of them are brand. I use brand tote bags to carry my lunch in when I go to work, too.
>what do you keep in them? Any recommendations?
Mostly just basic necessities like my phone, keys, purse, lip gloss, hand cream, and a small book to read whether I actually have time to read or not. I like carrying a small notebook and a pen too, if I see something interesting to draw or write about or just doodle aimlessly.
>any purses you're lusting after?
I recently scored pic related after wanting it for years, I'm not sure why I wanted it so much because it doesn't really match anything I own so for now I just use it to store some of my lolita-related books that don't fit on my shelves, but it's so cute that I don't regret buying it at all.

I have purchased two brand purses and I don't think I'll ever buy any again. One is IW, the other is AatP. The IW one is sturdy enough but I'm afraid I'm going to destroy the faux leather exterior. The AatP broke, the stitching on one of the straps came right out of the seam. For the price they cost I don't think they're worth it. I'd much rather spend that money on a nice leather normie designer purse instead, at least I know they'll last.

Recently did artist alley at a con and had this bag with me. It's a cooler bag and I could fit a couple bottles of soda and a couple juice boxes in. So it'd be big enough to hold the basics in it.

That's really cute, anon!

I've been looking for a cute, brown bag to go with my classic coords and i'm just not finding anything at all. I've looked at all the brand shops and 2ndhand. Maybe i'm just to picky? Any shop recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

The bags I use. I wore my white Honey Salon bag (upper left) out so I replaced it with the Liz Lisa in the lower left corner. Not my favourite LL bag but I got it second hand at a pretty good price in very good condition so I can't complain too much. I just wish I had picked up a second white Honey Salon bag while they were on sale.

>>9530816
I think you might be too picky because bags for classic are super easy to find. Not sure whether satchel bags are still in style but they're easy enough to find online if you can't find them locally, and they're easy to incorporate into lolita whether they have cute details like pic related or not.

>>9530803
That's absolutely adorable, Anon!

I'm having trouble deciding on a bag to use for cons that also won't clash too badly with costumes. I've been using a bookbag but it's hard to get it on and off over armor. Thinking of getting a fanny pack and try to cute-ify it. Are fanny packs still dorky?

>>9530892
They're kinda dorky but they can be cute, I can imagine them working well in fairy kei.

>What do you use to carry your necessities, whether it's a con or a tea party?
i use heart-shaped AP bags in a variety of colors on the daily. surprisingly they hold a lot.
>what do you keep in them? Any recommendations?
my daily carry: the lip color i'm wearing that day, compact mirror, phone, keys, handkerchief, comb, eye drops, extra phone charger. changes day by day, like if i'm going to be staying out all day i'll bring more makeup for mid-day touchups.
>any purses you're lusting after?
i want this ridiculous vanity bag that AP just released, pic related. i also want some boston bags since they're roomy and seem to match everything.

One of my fave WIMB videos, if anyone has any other recommendations, please post them! I love seeing people's bags, I think they're a big indication of someone's personality.

>What do you use to carry your necessities, whether it's a con or a tea party?
I use pic related daily, it's surprisingly roomy and I get complimented on it all the time. At cons and tea parties I use purses that match my coords (even though they can't hold more than my phone or wallet).
>what do you keep in them? Any recommendations?
I keep basics and emergency medical items, sketchbook/pens, water bottle, keys, portable chargers, etc. I keep everything organized in smaller pouches.
>any purses you're lusting after?
A big ol' Milk heart purse in pink please.
>Con goers/cosplayers what do you prefer? Backpacks, purses, fanny packs, or totes? Totes 100%. This works well if you're also into functional itabags.

i love her

>>9530832
I love this bag, it's exactly what i'm looking for
All the satchel bags i've found look too plain

>>9530920
I want to meet her one day so badly

Posting cute bags!

That's a base bag, not an itabag

35l airzone backpack

>>9530803
THAT'S SO ADORABLE!

>>9531109

>>9531137
Right... but it's still a base bag unless it comes with all that stuff in it... and even then it's not an itabag as it's jsut random stuff in it.

Definition :
>Itabag:
bag dedicated to showing love for a character, packed with pins and charms and artwork, etc.
>Base bag:
a bag alone that has a clear panel or clear layer which can be used for ~creating~ an itabag, but is not an itabag yet until somebody makes it into one.

DESU honey salon has best bags in my opinion. Love them all, great quality too

>>9531143
just post the bags you use anon

I really want this but it seems so silly and I'm afraid the fur won't hold up

>>9530775
These have been out of stock for a while iirc. I'm not sure how long you plan to hold out for but good luck, anon.

Stop being an anal autist

>What do you use to carry your necessities, whether it's a con or a tea party?
I generally use my Wego heart bag for most of my day to day stuff, it fits all my basics. It's meant to be an ita bag but I haven't sorted out attaching all my merch yet!
>what do you keep in them? Any recommendations?
I generally have my phone, purse, card holder, mints, tissues, pencil case and sometimes my 3DS. I use a bigger bag if I want to bring my sketchbook!
>any purses you're lusting after?
Listed picture is part of a Wishlist for me, though mostly the VW heart bag- that's a dream item. A black randoseru would also be amazing. I'm also hoping to find AP's Melty Moon bag in black!

When I'm cosplaying I try to keep things light, just a small shoulder bag I can pop down or pass to a friend for photos. Otherwise if I'm cosplaying a school character/idol etc. I'll bring my Japanese school bag!


In regards to the bunny bag in my picture (not Usakumya)- I want something along those lines to go with my more old school/cutesy coordinates. Nearly all the cute stuffed animal bags from brands are in pastel and my entire wardrobe is black/red/dark colours. Anybody have any cute non pastel stuffed toy bags they can link/dump?

>>9531156
Thanks, i actually already found it being resold! Completely new! Snagging it and planning it for coords.

I got no cute bags to own (I love a lot of the ones posted here, I'd love to see more!), but I prefer wearing small backpack if I'm out and about, otherwise a fannypack when I'm tabling at AA (fannypack for money, anyway).

I've been eyeing this bag for forever and the price on aliexpress keeps going up on it. I can only find one listing no matter how hard I search and its at a really high price compared to what it was a few months ago. Does anybody know if there's anywhere I can get it cheaper? or if there's a Taobao listing? I don't go on Taobao very often

The original store is mu fish, says in the pic

>>9531152
i have it in white! i've had it for ~6 months and have used it maybe twice a week and it still looks just as nice as when i got it. i think as long as you're mindful about not eating tacos directly over it you'll be fine. and it should be easy to clean the surface with laundry wipes (i use the Shout ones) if need be.

>>9531195
Where did you find it??

I've been looking forever for a white randoseru style bag. At this point it seems impossible. Can anyone help?

>>9531075
Oh no I want this bag so bad

>>9531246
You can also find it at my lolita dress, don't really remember the price though

Here you go. A quick Mu fish google search gave me this link. You'll need a shopping service though.

Sold out but maybe they'll restock?

Ah! I recently bought the white bunny! It didm't arrive yet. Does it have enough room for my keys, phone, make up, psp and (big) wallet?
