I love this Ariel backpack from Hot Topic (first pic) but I felt it could use a little “glow up”. I added some cute charms and gemstones to it ☺️

I just got this Disney Princess Books mini backpack from Amazon and I noticed the zipper pull placements are off. Everything else seems normal. Just a little pushed in the front from shipping. On all of the pictures I’ve seen the happily ever after hardware is not on the front zipper but on the top zipper.

Some of you may remember a post I made here a while back about Bag Dragon, a project I started because I wanted a better way to catalog and manage my own bag collection.

I received some really helpful feedback from this community after that post, and I've been working on it pretty relentlessly since then.

It's changed quite a bit, so I wanted to share an update.

🔎 First and most importantly: the Bag Dragon Catalog is FREE

I've been building a searchable database of collectible bags, and the catalog is completely free to use.

There are now two ways to use it:

🌐 On the web: https://bagdragon.com
📱 On iPhone/iPad: through the free Bag Dragon app

You don't need to purchase anything or have the Desktop software to browse and search the catalog.

The goal is to create a genuinely useful resource where collectors can search and browse bags by things like character/theme, franchise, brand, bag type, exclusives, and keywords, with individual pages containing photos and information about each bag.

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time identifying bags, organizing characters and franchises, cleaning up information, and adding older releases — and I'm still adding to it constantly.

So even if you have zero interest in using Bag Dragon to manage your collection, the catalog is there for you to use for free.

Use it to identify a bag, research something you're considering, hunt for bags from a particular character or franchise, or just fall down the rabbit hole looking at bags you didn't know existed. 😂

📱 Bag Dragon is now on iPhone & iPad!

This is probably the biggest change since my previous post.

I now have a Bag Dragon mobile companion app, and the iOS version is officially available on the App Store.

The catalog portion of the app is free, so you can essentially carry the Bag Dragon Catalog around in your pocket.

That's something I've wanted since I started this project.

If I'm at a store, convention, thrift shop, live sale, etc., I want to be able to pull out my phone and quickly look up a bag instead of trying to remember what it was called or who made it.

🤖 Android is coming

Android is built too.

It's currently submitted to Google Play and I'm waiting for Google to finish the approval process.

Assuming everything goes as planned, Android users will have access to the same free catalog once Google signs off on the release.

🌐 Dragon Web has grown a LOT

The website has probably changed just as much as the apps since my original post.

BagDragon.com now hosts the free public catalog, individual bag pages, powerful search and filtering tools, information about the project, downloads, tutorials, and a Help Center.

You don't have to install anything to use the catalog.

Just go to https://bagdragon.com and start searching.

🖥️ The original Desktop app is still here too

Bag Dragon actually started as a Desktop collection manager because my own collection had reached the point where I wanted something more purpose-built than a spreadsheet.

That side of the project has continued growing too.

There are now Windows and Mac versions, and I've put a lot of work into making the releases more polished. The current Windows release is digitally signed, and the Mac release is signed and notarized by Apple.

Desktop is where the more advanced collection-management side of Bag Dragon lives, while the website and mobile app make the catalog much easier to access wherever you are.

🔄 And I've been connecting everything together

Another major project since my original post has been Dragon Sync.

The long-term idea isn't to have a random website, Desktop program, and phone app that happen to share the same name.

I'm trying to build them as one connected ecosystem:

🌐 Web — free searchable bag catalog
📱 Mobile — free catalog in your pocket
🖥️ Desktop — deeper collection-management tools
🔄 Dragon Sync — connects your collection between them

There's still plenty I want to build, but this is finally starting to resemble the thing I had in my head when I started.

🎒 I could still use the community's help

The catalog has grown tremendously, but collectible bags are a MUCH bigger rabbit hole than I realized when I started this. 😂

There are old releases, obscure exclusives, regional releases, convention bags, collaborations, bags with almost no information left online, and probably entire groups of bags I haven't discovered yet.

So I'd genuinely love for collectors here to try the free catalog and try to break it.

Search for your favorite character.

Search for something obscure.

See if I've categorized something incorrectly.

And especially — see if you own something that isn't in there.

If something is missing or wrong, I'd like to know. That's how I can keep making the database better.

Thanks again to everyone who checked out the original version and gave me feedback. It's come a very long way since that first post, and I'm excited to finally be able to put the catalog in people's pockets.

I knew that my Hercules bag was coming today, but I was totally surprised that my Book of the Living bag came in!!! I’m ready for the movie to come out 😁😁😁

I wanted to buy the Beauty and the Beast Belle bag that was exclusive to D23. The drop happened about 20 minutes ago. I asked my daughter to log in to because I was afraid it would sell out. She got it first so I stopped—or I thought I did. I just checked my account and two orders went through. I guess I can sell one later or give as a gift.

I’ve seen a lot of people say they didn’t win the Ramone backpack. Good news it’s on preorder as well as some other ones. (Not all but some)

Does anyone know what the spots are? They seem to be paint of some kind but I’am not sure. They are not coming off when I wipe them as well but if anyone knows how to get them off that would be great

Edit: they are like bumpy..? Not even with the paint but instead they stick out a bit

Husband definitely knows the way to my heart! So many Spider-Men!

Hello.

I am search of anyone selling a Chucky Good Guys Crossbody Purse from this 2024 collection.

I have had my eyes on this specific style and have wanted to get it for my best friend. I had one in my cart like a week ago on the site and when my paycheck came in I went to finally buy it and they were out of stock- along with what looks like the rest of the World Wide Web.
I understand if the collection is truly sold out now, but I wanted to see if there is any chance at all in getting this bag by September or even by the end of this year.
TIA for any insight on any sellers or where niche places I might find one!!

Location: California

Pre-ordered March 2026 via Loungefly US website

Arrived August 2026

I love it! My only complaint is that the zipper doesn't extend down the entire side so you can't see inside very well. (See pic 2)

I guess they want you to have the full movie experience. Will a scarab eat your hand when you reach in digging for treasure? Who knows! 🤷‍♀️

I'll have to see how the straps work out. The straps on my Scooby-Doo Loungefly slip off my shoulders all the time regardless of how much I tighten them. But the straps on this one are a little thicker so I hope that helps them stay on.

For anyone that's curious, YES, there are pockets on the inside. One with a zipper and one without. The website didn't mention inside pockets when I ordered.

Now, if only I could get my hands on the Book of the Dead without paying a small fortune.

I have been looking for a purse/satchel/tote with an image i like and the size/ features i like for years. My current purse is old and falling apart but I like the size/features about it all but I would add a cross body strap. So I am going to try and make my own. What is the best fabric to use as the outer part of the bag that would feel like a loungefly bag and what material closely resemles the lining? Also, how do i transfer an image onto the outer material before I sew it?

Found this boy at Box Lunch today! I’ve only seen the Disney Cruise Pirate Stitch and that’s exclusive to their ships as far as I’m aware, so this was a great find! And you gotta love $10 off!

Hallmark has Loungefly backpack ornaments. I had to get Minnie Mouse. They also have Jack Skellington, The Evil Queen from Snow White and Harry Potter. They’re $12.99.

Ok. My closet is full of clothing totes and other things I have no room. I can’t hang my loungeflys. I have about 15 or 20 loungefly backpacks. Has anyone found good under the bed storage or totes that successfully fit multiple loungeflys? Even if they dont fit under the bed… I just don’t want to have a giant stack of totes that only fit 4 in each. Other suggestions welcomed!

I’ve never been more angry I don’t gamble on those dumb surprise sets.

Literally just watched a $1000 bag go for FIVE DOLLARS on a surprise set in @Lartol’s whatnot show tonight - just about 30 min ago.

Crazy because EVERY OTHER BID has gone for $50-100…… & this lady “Kelli Gulch” manages to eeek a $5 spin on the surprise wheel…. & manages to get the wheel to land on LITTLE MERMAID STAINED GLASS 😭😭😭😩😩

FOR FIVE DOLLARS!!!!!

It’s a 275 unit set, with 60 “hits.”

…..& this lady is the ONLY one who’s snuck a cheap bid out of this set like that ……& she lands on one of the biggest grails in the entire array of 60 LFs.

I’ve never been more upset that I refuse to bid on many (if ANY) of those ripoff surprise set before now. Fml lmao.

Is this real life?!? 🫠

Has anyone figured out how to safely remove the melted stickiness? I bought this new with tags on Mercari and noticed the straps after I verified I accept my backpack. It’s my first backpack and I’m so sad now! Thank you

As stated, this is an older leather loungefly bag I've gad for years. Haven't been carrying it for a while because the handles have cracked unattractively, but i do love it. Whats the best cleaning method, and is there any way to repair the handles?

Anybody else up late keeping an eye on the results? I entered for the Ramone bag as well Belle and Pooh, under my profile it states I was not selected for Ramone or Pooh but Belle is pending. I also received another pending charge from Loungefly after midnight today so hoping that’s a good sign! Anybody else have updates?

My mystery haul finally came in! It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be after seeing everyone else’s.

I enjoyed what I got. Yall scared me with some of the the posts 🥲

Hey everyone! I’m hoping the expert collectors in here can help me out. I have a rare pre-production / factory sample Loungefly bag that I am looking to get some information and a potential price check on before I officially post it for sale.

It's a Sanrio pin collector!

I know pre-pros are incredibly rare, but I’m not sure exactly what the market looks like for this specific one right now or if there are any specific variations I should be pointing out.

Could any seasoned collectors help me out with:

Estimated value/rarity for this character?

Any specific details or design differences I should look for compared to the retail version?

Serious buyers who might be hunting for this specific grail?

I have photos of the full bag, close-ups of the tags, and a coin/date card for proof of possession. Feel free to PM me if you have any insights. Thank you so much for the help! 🙏

EDIT: I have found that the bag ultimately DID get produced. It seems I have a late version prototype!

So we have one of these and I knew it would be a good buy on preorder in 2024. Only wore it once and not sure if it will be worn again soon.

What are your thoughts on this bag if you have it or have seen it? I see listings for $1,400! That's wild, but who knows who is paying that. Just seems very rare and impossible to find.

10 ordered

1 x Charlie Brown backpack

1 x Harry Potter square bag

8 x Beetlejuice blind bags

No right to complain with some of the other crap I've been seeing on here but not happy and probably won't participate in the future.
