Full description

One backpack for your collection, your tech, your travel, and everything in between.

The Expandable ITA Backpack is built for collectors, creators, and commuters who need their bag to work as hard as they do. The clear PVC display window gives your enamel pins, charms, and figures a proper home while you're on the move, and the expandable design means you're never stuck choosing between packing light and packing enough.

At its base depth of 15 cm it sits at a neat 20L for everyday carry. Pull the expansion zip and it opens out to 26.5 cm deep and 35L total, giving you real room for convention hauls, weekend trips, or heavy creative workdays.

Serious storage, seriously organised

Inside, this bag is built for real life. Five zippered compartments, elastic organisers, mesh pockets, dual bottle holders, and dedicated sleeves for laptops up to 17 inches and tablets up to 13 inches mean everything has a place. A separate wet zone keeps damp gear or laundry away from the rest of your kit, and a ventilated shoe pocket with breathable mesh handles the stuff you'd rather keep contained.

The removable pin pad makes swapping your display quick and easy, and three internal D-rings inside the display window give you space to hang charms, keychains, or plushies for a layered look.

Built to carry comfortably and go anywhere

EVA foam back padding gives you proper support on long days, and the chest strap and utility straps help distribute weight evenly when the bag is fully loaded. Reinforced handles, a trolley strap for sliding onto luggage, and carry-on compatible sizing round out a bag that's equally at home on the convention floor and at the departure gate.

The thick Oxford nylon exterior resists water and scuffs, while reinforced stitching throughout means this bag is built to last more than a season.

B-Grade Option - Same Bag, Honest Price

Our B-Grade Expandable ITA Backpacks are genuine units that previously served as display samples at conventions or in our studio. Fully functional and structurally sound, with the same Oxford nylon build, expansion system, and storage layout, just with the cosmetic marks that come from being put to work.

B-Grade bags may show one or more of the following:

  • Light surface scratches on the PVC display window
  • Minor scuffs or marks on the Oxford nylon exterior
  • Small cosmetic imperfections on zips, clips, or buckles
  • Slight wear on the pin pad or interior lining

These are cosmetic only and have no effect on how the bag performs or holds up over time. Each B-Grade bag is inspected before listing, and any specific condition notes will be included in the product variant description.

Same bag, same capacity, same build quality. Just a better price for a bag that's already proven itself.

B-Grade bags are final sale: no change of mind returns, and not eligible for exchange based on the disclosed cosmetic condition. All other standard warranty terms apply.

Care: Wipe the window and body with a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Avoid resting the bag window-side down or sliding it against hard or sharp edges, as pressure from pins behind the window can cause scratches.
