    Ita Bags - The Next Big Otaku Trend?

    Ita Bags - The Next Big Otaku Trend?





    Online, more and more pictures of bags heavily decorated in anime badges have recently increased. 

    The nickname for this new trend is "Ita bag" or "Painful bag" (Since the bags get heavier decorated in badges)

    The bags themselves are usually tote or school bags.Each bag tends to focus on one anime character that the owner loves however more then one character can also be seen. The bags are used to express their love for an anime character or series. Since the idea is to cover the bag, it can be an expensive hobby.



    While in Japan you could easily get one badge for 200 yen (About £1.20) however online or at conventions the price of one bage can be higher. Also the plushies or keyrings used don't always come cheap. 

    Helpful links: 

    If you want to join in on this new trend here are some helpful links to places selling badges that are not too pricey to make your own bag!
    • Aliexpress has a wide range of badges ranging from Attack on Titan, Naruto  to Black Butler and more. 
    • eBay also has a wide collection of badges however they might not  be as cheap as ones on Aliexpress however there is a lot of options to choose from. 
    • Etsy and Storenvy both features a lot of different designs


    So what do you think? Do you think this might be the next big trend. Have you decorated your bag like this?

    The Hikaru Skirt - Brighten Up Your Outfit



    The Hikaru skirt (Light skirt) is a unique, new design where LED lights are embedded in skirts. Offical tumblr. The skirts are currently not available to buy yet however click here to check out more of the Hikaru skirts. With a touch of a button, its also possible to change the colour of the lights. 



    Since the LED lights can be turned on or off, you can turn the outfit more casual however if you turn it on at a concert, party or club, the outfit will come alive. 


    The main reason is to make the “absolute territory” (zettai ryouiki) the area of skin inbetween the top of socks and the bottom of skirts, shorts, stand out. These skirts are sure to light up any outfit for any style.

    "Basically I don't Cosplay as any character that does not, spiritually speaking, come down to me. My facial Expression changes, gets closer to the character, and we become one," says Japanese Cosplayer Omi K Gibson. 


    "Even if we do not speak the same language, cosplay can convey our passions to the characters and then form friendships among Cosplays" Says cosplayer, Yunmao Ayakawa.

    How do I cosplay?

    First you have to decide on a character that you like, that you want to Cosplay as. It won't be as fun if you cosplay as a character you hate so choose one you like! 

    When making your Cosplay outfit or buying things for it, its best to keep a picture of the character to use as reference.

    Anyone can cosplay, it doesn't matter your gender, body size or age. The idea of Cosplay is to have fun and make friends so don't worry! 


    Contact Lenses
    Optional however adds more of an effect to any Cosplay by having the same eye colour as the character. Pinky paradise is a good place to go for first time Contact Lense users.

    WIGS
    If you don't want (Or can't) dye your hair to the colour and style of your choosen character then wigs are your best option.

    The costume 
    There are two choices, you can either make your own costume or buy it from a variety of stores including bodyline, Tokyo Toys (Also have a visible store in London), Ebay and Taobao. 

    Props
    It depends on which character you are cosplaying as. Props encourage a sense of fantasy to any cosplay, helping with bringing the character to life. For example if your cosplaying a character from Death note you might want to make or buy a copy of the book to use as a prop.
