Welcome everyone! I am Tokyo Girl (aka Alyssa) and I created the kawaii plushie collection called Snuggle Dreamers.
After running 2 super successful campaigns to bring a total of 16 different Snuggle Dreamer characters to life as plushies, we moving forward to our newest collection!
I have come up with the concept to turn plushie backpacks into Ita Bags! And I’m super excited to share them with you! (although I am not the only creator that has come up with this fun idea).
This is my very first time making an ita bag! I cannot say that I claim to be the first person ever to come up with the idea of making a plushie into an ita bag back pack, but I did extensive research on this when making my designs and I did not find anything else out there like this. (however, I did see see something similar pop up very recently long after I announced my new product idea haha)
This was challenging for me because I not only haven't even made bags or back packs before, but I didn't even own an ita bag. In my research for designing this, I did buy a few ita bags though and fortunately my plushie manufacturer also makes bags and back packs in their factory and has a designer that exclusively works on bag designs.
I wanted to create a bag that was big and can hold lots of stuff! I also wanted to have a large space for displaying pins and things in the window pocket of the bag.
Here's the design specs:
Rayne is not completed yet. He has some minor adjustments being made to his design : overall size was made too big so he is going down a couple inches, his head was proportionately too big and is getting adjusted. His wings are also going to be larger and moved a little higher up his back
We have our first ever mini plushie keychains! Little Snugglers! At this time, we have one for each plushie ita bag design, but we may be expanding on this with other characters for the Sweet Snuggle Dreamers series later on!
Each Little Snuggler will be approximately 5.5 inches tall (14cm) with up to an additional 2 inches (5cm) when measuring from tips of ears to tips of tails.
Every plushie Ita bag that is unlocked, a Little Snugglers of the same character will also be unlocked with it!
I love giving freebies and I try to be as generous as I can to the amazing people that back my projects!
So here’s a breakdown of all the perks and incentives that are available for this campaign and how to get them!
Backers who pledge for a plushie bag packs tier within the first 48 hours will receive a free enamel pin! An exclusive design to this campaign!
Those who have backed previous projects of mine and also back this project will receive a free set of stickers!
For backers who pledge for 2 or more bags, they will receive an exclusive designed enamel pin featuring a character from this campaign (Millenia the starry kitsune) and a character from the Snuggle Dreamers series, Artemis (the cosmic kitsune).
This campaign is part of the Lore and Myth banner of Pintopia 2026! When you back 3 or more projects in under this banner, you will receive a freebie mini pin from each of those projects you backed under that banner! If one of those 3 or more projects you back is mine, here's is the mini pin reward you will receive from me!
Each plushie ita bag pack character will have a matching Little Snuggler that you can pledge for or add onto your pledge. All samples are currently being worked on and will be show in updates during and after the campaign! So keep a look out for those!
Additional stretch goals will be added if we reach the last goal!
When you choose an ita bag insert add on, you choose which bag you want an insert for, and which color (if that particular one has different colors)when you fill out your post campaign survey.
For this campaign, we are enabling the Pay Over Time option! If your pledge is $150 or more, after you select a pledge and go to checkout, you’ll be given the option to pay 4 equal interest-free monthly installments of your pledge total over the course of 4 months.
If you select Pay Over Time, you acknowledge that:
You understand that your rewards will not qualify for shipment until you have paid in full.
You understand that any partial payments made are not eligible for a refund.
You understand that you will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after you have paid in full.
Pay Over Time pledges will not be able to answer their selections survey until their payment plan is completed.
Smaller orders will be shipped using polymailers, and larger orders will be shipped in boxes
For any lost packages, or packages damaged in transit by the carrier, you can contact me and I will do what I can to provide assistance but it is ultimately not my responsibility nor will I be liable and you will need to contact USPS or your local postal service to file a claim.
Insurance on packages covers up to $100, if you want extra insurance on your package for higher pledged amounts, there will be an add-on in your survey after the campaign ends to add the additional cost for the additional insurance coverage. I am not responsible for packages lost by postal services and you will need to work with your local postal service to find and retrieve your package if it becomes lost. Again, I will assist anyway I can but it’s ultimately up to the backer.
Also, if a package is sent back to me for address issues made by the backer or issues that are not a result in something I did wrong, the backer will need to cover the cost to ship the package again.
Estimated Shipping Cost
!!International Backers!!
Depending on what country you live in, you may be subject to pay additional taxes to receive your package. I am not responsible for these extra charges and if not paid, your package may be sent back to me and a refund will not be issued. Please keep this all in mind when pledging to this project.
When it comes to tariffs, it seems they are always changing. It is the backers’ duty to know and understand their country’s import tax and/or tariffs.
The timeline here is from the start of the campaign all the way to fulfillment to backers! This timeline is estimated and could change depending on production delays or miscalculations. If there are delays in the timeline, I will always share all information with project updates.
