Remember dressing up your TrapperKeeper with photos and stickers? Now you can show off your enamel pin collection with just as much style! Also there's an ita dice bag. Very cool.
Do you remember that rush you got from decorating your Trapper Keeper with photos and stickers? Do you wish you could experience that again as an adult? Or maybe you're looking for a way to show off your pin collection wherever you go. Look no further!
Introducing The Itafolio!
The Itafolio is structured like a traditional portfolio, giving you all the function you expect, including: document storage, 3-ring binder clips, writing pad pocket, and pen storage. What makes The Itafolio unique is the front transparent window!
Like a traditional ita bag, The Itafolio comes with an insert and display window. This allows you to show off your pin collection safely and securely! The window is accessed from the inside, eliminating any risk of pins falling off, out, or generally going missing!
And the Ita Dice Bag!
Inspired by the iconic d4, the Ita Dice bag features three ita windows to show off your pin collection at the D&D table. Or leave an insert out, and show off your dice collection!
Please note that insert colors pictured are for sampling only! Base unlock will be red or black (voted on by followers). Stretch goals will unlock additional colors, to be voted on by backers.
Status: The Ita Folio is finished and ready for production!
I've sampled the folio twice, and photos are of the final, complete version. So when the campaign closes, you won't have to wait for additional prototyping. The product is finished! I've been play testing my working sample for months, and I'm confident this version will serve my backers best. :)

I've been play testing the working sample of this bag for a couple months, and I'm ~95% satisfied with the current version of this bag. There are two minor specific changes that will be implemented prior to production, but the bag will not be sampled again. These changes have already been discussed and noted by my manu, so this design is essentially ready for production. Specifically - 1) thinner/floppier inserts were used for this design. Those will be swapped for thicker, sturdier inserts to match the folio. 2) PU leather bands will be replaced with elastic bands to hold the inserts in place. Neither of these changes will change the overall aesthetic of the bag, but will improve user experience!
Specs & Features ⭐ Material: PU leather, vinyl window, metal zippers/zipper pulls ⭐ Measures 6" x 6" x 6" ⭐ Triangular windows measure 3.75" on each side ⭐ Three (3) zippers ⭐ Interior can be accessed by opening one or two zippers ⭐ Bag lies flat with three zippers open, easy window insert access ⭐ Reinforced bottom

Status: Artwork complete and confirmed. Ready for production!
The Armory is a cathedral window / stained glass inspired weaponry pin set. I designed this set to accompany both the ita folio and ita dice bag. I've been using both working samples for tabletop games (setting up inserts for D&D, Pathfinder, and Starfinder campaigns), and I found I was lacking good weapon pins. Armory pins are available as add-ons - get one or the whole set at a discount!
Specs & Features: ⭐ 9 options to choose from (11 total designs) ⭐ Varying sizes. One price point. ⭐ 3D mold with antiqued silver metal ⭐ Transparent enamel fill ⭐ 1" and larger pins have 2 pin posts ⭐ White enamel in mock ups is transparent and will be more silver in production
The budget for this campaign is really tight. I set the goal as low as reasonably possible, considering this is an all-new product line. Because of the already high goal just to cover minimum order quantities, I've chosen to fund some things out of pocket. Stretch goals will focus on alleviating out of pocket costs, increasing color options for window inserts, and culminating in free window inserts for backers!
Running Tally of Insert Color Options (see photos and polls for references) Black, Red, Icy Blue Purple, Sage Green, Turquoise
🔓 Base Goal - $4,000 FUNDED
This is the minimum needed to fund production of the bags! Each folio and dice bag comes with one set of window inserts in either black or red (color to be voted on).
🔓 Stretch Goal #1 - $5,000 FUNDED
Reaching this goal will mean I won't be paying inbound shipping out of pocket. It also unlocks a second color option for window inserts. Each bag will still only come with one set, but you'll have the option of the base color or a new backer-voted color! Color options will also be reflected in add-ons for inserts!
🔓 Stretch Goal #2 - $6,000 FUNDED
Reaching this goal means I'm no longer funding the pin set out of pocket. It will also unlock a third color option for window inserts. Each bag will still only come with one set, but you'll have three color options to choose from. Add-ons for additional inserts will also be available in all three colors.
🔓 - Stretch Goal #3 - $7,000 FUNDED
Time to give back! This stretch goal unlocks insert color #4 and all bags will come with TWO sets of window inserts. Hitting this goal means the ita folio comes with two inserts of your color choice, and the ita dice bag will come with inserts of your color choice and a free set of inserts designed by my collab partner, Marachi! When they hit their $7k goal, backers of their holster bag will get a free insert designed by me!
If we start looking at stretch goal #4, I'll run a poll to see if we want to work on funding more inserts or prioritize a colorway of one of the bags!
🔓 - Stretch Goal #4 - $10,000 FUNDED
This goal unlocks insert color option #5, another free included insert for all bags, and a new colorway for the pin set.
🔒 - Stretch Goal #5 - $15,000
This goal will unlock a colorway of the ita dice bag. Color will be determined by a backer vote.
🔒 - Stretch Goal #6 - $20,000
This goal will unlock a colorway of the ita folio. Color will be determined by a backer vote.

Important Notes! - $1 tip jar does not qualify for free rewards. - Backing for a pin tier will result in a sticker freebie instead of an ita insert. - You will receive a free insert to match the bag you back for (folio inserts for folios, 3 triangles for dice bag) - Free reward is for one folio insert or one set of dice bag inserts. If you back for both, you'll be asked to select which reward you would like. - These are free for collab backers. They can be purchased in the pledge manager separately.
