Everyday ITA bags: how to choose
Each of our main everyday ITA bags has a clear window for your pins and charms, a removable pin pad and room for a full day of carry. Use the table to compare the main bags side by side, then read our picks below. Pin counts are planned with 3 cm pins, so smaller pins fit more and larger ones fewer.

Questions about choosing an ITA bag
Which Pinbuds ITA bag is best for everyday use?
If you carry a 15″ laptop, start with the 3-Way Cotton Daily ITA Bag 15″ or the 3-Way Oxford ITA Backpack 15″: both switch between backpack, shoulder bag and laptop bag. For a 17″ or 18″ laptop, look at the 4-Way Weatherproof Travel ITA Bag 17″ or the 4-Way Vegan Leather ITA Bag 18″.
Which ITA bag is good for travel?
The Dual Window Anti-theft ITA Backpack 15″, the 4-Way Weatherproof Travel ITA Bag 17″, the 4-Way Vegan Leather ITA Bag 18″ and the 2-Way ITA Shoulder Tote 16″ all slide over a suitcase handle. The Dual Window also has two flat anti-theft back pockets and lockable zips.
Can I carry plush in an ITA bag?
Yes. Flat plush and charms fit in the front window of every main bag, about 2 to 6 cm (0.8 to 2.4 in) deep depending on how full the bag is. The Dual Window Anti-theft ITA Backpack 15″ takes deeper plush, up to about 7 to 8 cm (2.8 to 3.1 in) at the front, plus a side window about 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in) deep.
What does “3 cm pins” mean in the pin counts?
We plan every pin count with 3 cm pins, a common enamel pin size. Smaller pins fit more and larger ones fewer, so treat the number as a guide.
What are mini ITA bags?
The 9″ ITA sling and the 7″ ITA phone wallet are mini ITA bags. Wear them on their own, or use them to organise the inside of a main bag.
