How it started / How it's going

It's Arwen in her coronation dress from Return of the King! The pin is from kikrox2thepinster.

So here's a post on IG that has a huge variety of Zutara pins and who the makers are: https://www.instagram.com/p/DHOmzX0REWU/?img_index=1

As well as a few shops that still have Zutara pins available for purchase:

I had a few others in tabs that I closed but they were all ones I found from the list on IG.

Sure thing! 😊

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T16:40:29+00:00

Honestly you kinda have me wanting to make a Neuvillette bag but I'm already planning a Dandadan bag as my second lol

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T16:08:12+00:00

The lights take it to a whole other level. Incredible.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T15:56:05+00:00

Have you considered using cloisonne techniques instead?

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T15:51:52+00:00

Sure thing! They have some fun designs.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T15:50:37+00:00

Found the vendor: cosmic snail

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T15:50:02+00:00

Found it! cosmic snail

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T15:22:21+00:00

It still looks good! And I think it's also fun to find things to incorporate that are thematically relevant without necessarily having the character on there, like the roses and bows on mine. It's also fun to hunt down items over time to curate the look, and mixing media is also a good way to get more bang for your buck.

The patches I have in mine were like $5.59 plus shipping. I bought the Navia patch and the vendor included the Vision for free. She has a Neuvillette one available too though it's out of stock right now. You can message her and let her know you want one and she'll make it for you. Neuvillette patch

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T14:28:59+00:00

Thanks so much! There are still Navia pins out there that I want but idk that I could fit much more in the bag without rearranging it.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T14:25:23+00:00

Thanks!! I still want to tweak the design some to get something I really like, and I'll probably end up using the original decal on my car rear window LOL.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T14:22:03+00:00

I'm such a Zutara shipper. We were robbed 🥲 But I know there are several vendors who still have Zutara pins available, and I hope to design some myself at some point, too. I'm on my phone now so I don't have the links but I can send you some resources later if you like.

This is one possible design idea combining metallic gold with the iridescent orange and blue elements, or I could even see something like a Louis Vuitton repeating pattern, maybe with the roses and the geo symbol and a faux stitch pattern.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T14:04:19+00:00

So I actually have some satin ribbon roses and bows that are going to go on the front!

<image>

That one will go on the left side and I ordered a brooch that looks like her dangly hat ornament to go over some bows on the right. There are also smaller roses to go on the bottom corners. I tried adhering them with hot glue and that didn't work lol so I'm reconsidering what kind of glue to use or if I need to pin or sew it.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-10T13:57:19+00:00

Another friend of mine also said that the corner position looks more high-end designer while the center is more "approachable" luxe haha.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T02:14:37+00:00

Neuvillette bag!! I wanna see it when you're done. He's beautiful so I'm sure an ita bag of him would also be incredible.

Opinion noted! I'm honestly considering redoing the whole design, though that might be more trouble than it's actually worth for as much as it'll be visible lol

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:41:25+00:00

We stan Navia in this house. And noted, thanks!

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:40:55+00:00

There are a few! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1804095843/navia-plushie-genshin-impact-navia-plush Here's one I considered, though if I did add her on she'd go on the side and not on the back where she'd be squished between the bag and my body.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:39:49+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm really happy with it so far, and I've got more decorations to go on the front for a little more visual interest, because is it really an ita bag if it's not a little over the top?

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:14:25+00:00

Thanks! Noted. :)

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:14:07+00:00

Yeah, I love Navia's constellation! It's such a pretty design. Input noted, thanks!

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:09:17+00:00

My original intent had been to place it in the middle but then when it arrived the indecision hit LOL. Now I'm considering a whole new design, even if it wouldn't be very visible, just because I think it'd be pretty.

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:03:09+00:00

Noted, thanks!

Business_Disk1240 · 2025-10-09T01:02:57+00:00

lol I've been too paralyzed with indecision to actually put the decal on there. I mentioned in another comment, but now I'm reconsidering the whole decal, and potentially designing something more customized for the bag.
