Padawan At Heart Ita Bag

Padawan At Heart Ita Bag

As a self-proclaimed #1 Ahsoka Tano fan, whenever there’s an Ahsoka themed merch drop, I’m ready to throw my money at it. My latest purchase (and obsession) is the Padawan At Heart bag by Team Tano Alive . The Padawan At Heart bag is inspired by Ahsoka Tano and it’s not just a backpack. It’s also an Ita Bag. An Ita bag allows the owner to express their love of a particular character or fandom. In Japanese, “ita” can be translated to pain or painful. An ita-bag can be interpreted as an expensive hobby.
This Padawan At Heart bag is my first ita-bag and wow, am I in love with it! As I mentioned earlier, this bag is inspired by Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars era) and it’s a fantastic way to show off your favorite enamel pins. The bag is slightly bigger than your standard mini backpack and has more than enough room for your essentials. There are 2 interior pockets as well as 1 zipper pocket.

The bag’s display area comes with an insert with Ahsoka’s markings where you can add your pins. I love the little details such as Ahsoka’s Padawan braid as a charm (it’s removable!) and her lightsabers as zipper pulls.

The bag can be worn a couple of different ways, depending on your preference. It comes with 3 adjustable straps so you can wear it over-the-shoulder, crossbody, or as a backpack. I like wearing it as a backpack.

If you’re interested in the Padawan At Heart bag, head over to Team Tano Alive's Instagram for the latest update on a second pre-order. They also have another ita bag in development - the “Pilot At Heart” bag themed after Hera from Star Wars: Rebels.

I can’t wait to add more pins to my Padawan At Heart bag and take it with me everywhere. Got a favorite ita bag or your favorite place to shop for pins? Comment or link them below!
