I made a playful animal-shaped ita bag and wanted to share the carry/display idea.
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a playful small animal-inspired lta bag concept I have been working on.
The fun part of this design is that the display window changes depending on how you wear the bag. When worn as a backpack, the display window is not really the main thing people see, so the bag feels more like a cute little animal bag. When worn as a shoulder bag, the front window turns outward and becomes the showcase for pins, badges, charms, and photocards.
So I see it less as an “always-on display backpack” and more as a bag with two moods:
- Backpack mode: lower-profile carry for walking around, commuting lightly, or when you do not want your collection fully on display
- Shoulder mode: display mode for conventions, meetups, photos, and showing your pin setup
It has ears, a soft tail charm, and a front display window. The shape is meant to feel like a little character you can carry around, while the display window still gives space for pins, badges, charms, photocards, and small collectibles.
Current sample details:
- Bag size: about 25 cm tall, 36 cm long, and 12 cm wide
- Total height with ears: about 31.5 cm
- Front clear display window: about 26 cm x 15 cm
- Removable insert board: about 30 cm x 19 cm
- Adjustable shoulder/backpack straps: about 58 cm to 110 cm
- Material: polyester
- Can be worn as a shoulder bag or backpack-style depending on the strap setup
Full disclosure: this may become its own Kickstarter project, but right now I am still figuring out how to present the idea clearly. I would love to hear what people think before I finalize the page.
Thanks for taking a look!
