The sneaky way I snagged the Baggu x Sanrio collection from the US before it hit Singapore

February 16, 2026

Why I am Obsessed with the Sanrio-core Trend

If you have been on Xiaohongshu lately, you know exactly what I am talking about. The "Sanrio-core" aesthetic has taken over my feed, and the 2026 Baggu x Sanrio collaboration is at the very center of it. We are seeing these adorable Crescent Bags adorned with Cinnamoroll and Hello Kitty everywhere. As a collector in Singapore, I realized very quickly that if I wanted the best prints, I couldn't just wait for local stockists to catch up.

I noticed that the most sought-after limited editions are often dropped as US exclusives. While we have some great shops here, they rarely get the full range of sizes and patterns that the US store offers. To keep up with the latest popular products, I had to look across the ocean.

The Struggle of Finding US-Exclusive Prints in Singapore

My quest for the Medium Nylon Crescent Bag in the exclusive Pochacco print led me to several dead ends locally. Resellers on marketplace apps are already marking these up by 50% or more. I decided that instead of lining the pockets of scalpers, I would just shop us store directly. By doing this, I get the peace of mind that my bag is authentic, and I get to choose from the full 2026 inventory.

My Logistics Strategy: Using a Tax-Free US Address

When I first started ordering from the States, I was worried about the cost. However, I found that using a tax-free us address in Oregon significantly lowers the initial checkout price. Since Oregon has no sales tax, I save about 7-10% right off the bat before the item even reaches the warehouse. We always recommend checking the support pages if you are unsure how to format your shipping address at checkout.

Shipping Estimates for Your Baggu Haul

To help you plan your budget, I have put together a quick breakdown of what you can expect when shipping these bags to Singapore. You can also use the estimate shipping cost tool for more precise figures based on your specific order size.

Metric Details
Estimated Box Weight Approx. 1.0 lbs to 1.5 lbs (0.45 kg - 0.7 kg) for a single bag in a shipping box.
Box Dimensions Small to Medium (Approx. 12 x 9 x 4 inches).
Volumetric Warning LOW. Baggu bags are made of nylon and are highly compressible. I always ask the warehouse to repack my items to minimize empty space, which saves me a ton on shipping costs.
Battery Check This item does NOT contain lithium batteries. No special handling fees apply.

The BuyForMe Secret: Avoiding Cancelled Orders

Here is where things get tricky for us in Singapore. I tried to buy my Baggu x Sanrio bag from a major US retailer, but they immediately cancelled my order because I used a Singapore-issued credit card. Many US stores have strict fraud filters that block international payment methods or known freight forwarder addresses.

When I hit this wall, I switched to the assisted purchase service. I simply sent the link of the bag I wanted to the comGateway team, and they bought it on my behalf using a US domestic card. This proxy shopping method is the most reliable way to ensure your order actually gets processed and doesn't end up in the "cancelled" pile. It is a total lifesaver for high-demand drops like these.

Why your order might be getting declined

Stores like Urban Outfitters, Sephora, or even the main Baggu site sometimes flag international billing addresses. We have found that using a professional buyer service bypasses these geographic restrictions entirely, making the shopping experience much smoother for those of us in Southeast Asia.

Importing to Singapore in 2026

As of February 2026, remember that all goods imported into Singapore are subject to GST. I always keep my receipts ready in my account dashboard to ensure a quick customs clearance. If you have questions about how these fees are calculated, the FAQ section on the website has a very clear breakdown of the current regulations.

My final piece of advice? Consolidate! If you are buying a Baggu, see if your friends want in on the Sanrio-core trend too. Shipping three bags in one box is significantly cheaper than shipping them individually. Happy hunting, and I hope you get that Hello Kitty Crescent Bag before the 2026 collection sells out!
