[Unboxing + Review] Akogare! Chibikko Elementary School Backpack from Tokyo Otaku Mode

I went on Tokyo Otaku Mode recently and did some major damage to my wallet. This time I spend my money on Akogare! Chibikko Elementary School Backpacks Ver. 2. It is another Amuse product. Just a few weeks ago I bought the Amuse BIG Double Rainbow Alpacasso Plushies. Click the link if you want to see that unboxing and review. :3 I looooved them. So let's hope I have the same luck with this product.

Review

X For ~17 USD plus shipping the bag is a bit pricey.
X The material is fairly stiff. It seems like you can't put much weight on the straps as they might rip. It seems on the TOM website, a customer already had complaint about the backpack ripping.
X The bag is small for its price. You can put your phone, a small water bottle and a wallet.
X The straps are too short. It would be nice to have the flexibility of it being loose and tight.

✓ The bag is super cute. I think the colour combination is adorable.
✓ The size can be a plus due to the fact that its small size is compact and easy to carry around. The essentials can be put in it such as phone, wallet, water etc.
✓ You can get a 5% OFF coupon if you register today so you can save an extra few bucks. The link is affiliated, so if you use the link to sign up and make a purchase, I could get 5% off too!
✓ Newly registered peeps get FREE shipping.
✓ Shipping took only 16 days with regular Japan Post mail. Other parcels from Asia (i.e. China) take 3-4 months due to Canada Post cracking down on Chinese parcels (boooo~). So I am glad this Japanese parcel arrived in such a short time.

There is also a Akogare Chibikko Backpacks Vol. 3, if you are interested in checking them out.

• What did you think of this haul?
• Have you ever bought from TOM before? If so, what did you buy? Was it awesome?

Leave me some recommendations so I can buy buy buy!
