A New Era for “Ita-Bags”
These clear pocket backpacks are more than just a place to carry your essentials; they’re a canvas for expression.

This design allows you to securely and stylishly exhibit your collection without fear of damage or loss, making every outing a personal fan exhibition.
Each backpack in the Vol. 2 series is priced at ¥14,000 (tax included) and boasts a generous 26L capacity. Measuring approximately W330mm x H460mm x D170mm, they are crafted from durable polyester and PVC, ensuring longevity for daily use or special events. Each comes with a unique rubber strap and belt key holder, perfectly complementing the featured virtual liver’s aesthetic.
