r/oshikatsu

so i know this is most likely a horrendous idea but there is this badge of my kamioshi on ebay that is currently going for $120 USD and i want it SO BAD 🥹 like it's literally my dream piece of her even surpassing figures and plushies and all that. but i can NOT justify spending $120 on a can badge unless i win the lottery or something. so i wanna know: what's the most money you've spent on a single can badge? (mainly a question for people who collect official merch of their oshi, but anybody can answer!)

i'm going to las vegas for a festival but im also using the opportunity to do oshikatsu at whatever cool places I find in the city. Packed my ita bag with my favorite oshi's merch , but im starting to worry like what if something gets lost or stolen 💔even though i know its unlikely my collection will be targeted , i value each individual item greatly and would be devastated to lose anything so im starting to reconsider bringing it . Althoughhh it would be really fun and feels like im taking my oshi on a trip

At this point, I only have a shrine but not a proper itabag for my oshi, and I do want to get an itabag soon, but I'm concerned about the quality of most itabags (context: I live in SEA and can't buy stuff that has to be paid with Paypal for personal reasons, but I do have access to Shopee which is similar to Aliexpress + Facebook marketplace); since I've heard that most affordable/widely available ones are made from synthetic leather which flakes and crumbles like crazy after a year or two.

I've searched online and see people recommending canvas itabags but I can't find them on the shopping platforms I can access either... Are there any other durable material-based itabags that I can look for based on the situation? Anything that isn't synthetic leather but nothing hard to find either. I want to find a bag that'll last super long. Thank you in advance!!
