Loungefly is bringing three new Lilo & Stitch mini backpacks to D23 Expo, Disney's biannual fan convention running August 14 through 16, 2026. Each design draws on a different comedic beat from the film, giving collectors distinct character pairings rather than three variations on the same core artwork.
A duo pack featuring two of the designs is priced at $24 for D23 attendees, while the standout Pleakley-themed bag is priced separately at $90 as a convention-exclusive item. That pricing spread reflects Loungefly's typical convention-exclusive structure, where a headline design commands a premium over more accessible companion pieces.
For Loungefly and Disney bag collectors who can't attend D23 in person, here is what each design includes and what to expect once convention exclusives inevitably surface on the secondary market.
The lineup includes a Pleakley & Jumba in Disguise Cosplay Mini Backpack referencing the pair's memorable attempts to blend in on Earth, a Belle Book Shop Mini Backpack tying into one of Belle's favorite locations in a crossover-style design, and a Cogsworth Figural Crossbody Bag shaped after the Beauty and the Beast character. The mix of direct Lilo & Stitch references alongside broader Disney crossover elements reflects Loungefly's growing tendency to blend multiple franchises within a single themed drop.
Convention-exclusive Loungefly items routinely fetch higher prices than mainline retail releases once they exit the convention floor, driven by limited production runs and Disney fan demand for D23-specific merchandise. The $90 Pleakley bag's premium pricing at the show itself suggests Loungefly already anticipates strong demand before any secondary market markup takes hold.
This D23 drop follows a busy year for Lilo & Stitch Loungefly releases, including a Stitch Angel and Scrump mini backpack earlier in 2026 and various BoxLunch-exclusive designs. The character's live-action film adaptation has clearly driven a sustained wave of new bag designs throughout the year, with this D23 exclusive trio representing the highest-profile release in that ongoing cycle.
Convention-exclusive Loungefly items typically become available through resale channels and occasionally restock through official Disney channels months after the convention, though usually at a premium over the original show price. Collectors who can't attend D23 in person should expect to pay more and wait longer if they want to add these specific designs to a collection.
D23 Expo has become one of Loungefly's most important release windows of the year, alongside SDCC and various Disney Parks-exclusive drops, giving the brand a predictable rhythm of convention-tied exclusives collectors have learned to anticipate. Building a themed trio specifically around Lilo & Stitch for this particular show reflects the character's sustained popularity following the live-action film, and it fits a pattern where Loungefly leans into whichever property is culturally hot at the moment a given convention rolls around.
EVORETRO's current catalog doesn't carry a dedicated protective case built specifically for collectible bags like these Loungefly exclusives, so this is an honest no-exact-fit situation. For shipping or temporarily storing a bag safely between uses, poly bubble mailers are a reasonable general-purpose option for cushioned protection.
A dedicated online community of Loungefly collectors closely tracks every new Disney-licensed drop, often documenting convention exclusives within minutes of their reveal and cataloguing where and when specific designs eventually surface outside the original show floor. That level of community tracking makes it considerably easier for collectors who couldn't attend D23 in person to monitor when these specific Lilo & Stitch designs might become available through other channels, rather than relying solely on official Disney or Loungefly announcements.
They're exclusive to D23 Expo, running August 14 through 16, 2026.
A duo pack is priced at $24, while the standalone Pleakley-themed bag is priced at $90.
Convention exclusives like these typically surface later through resale channels or occasional official restocks, usually at a premium over the original show price.
The lineup includes a Pleakley & Jumba in Disguise Cosplay Mini Backpack, a Belle Book Shop Mini Backpack, and a Cogsworth Figural Crossbody Bag.
Loungefly's D23 Expo trio gives Lilo & Stitch and Disney bag collectors three genuinely distinct designs, anchored by a premium Pleakley-themed exclusive likely to be the hardest to find once the convention wraps and demand shifts toward resale listings and collector trading groups. For anyone attending D23 this August, these are worth prioritizing early given the show's typical exclusive sell-through pace.
