How I finally scored the Baggu x Sanrio 2026 Summer Collection for my collection in Belgium
Table of Contents
Why we are all talking about the 2026 Sanrio collab
I have been obsessed with Baggu for years, but the Baggu x Sanrio 2026 Summer Collection feels different. We are seeing a massive resurgence in the classic Sanrio aesthetic, but with a 2026 twist that includes eco-friendly recycled materials and patterns we haven't seen before. My social media feeds are flooded with people showing off the Cinnamoroll puffy laptop sleeves and the Hello Kitty standard reusables.
The problem I found is that while a few boutiques in Belgium or neighboring countries might get a handful of items, they sell out in minutes. I noticed that the US Baggu store consistently has the full range of patterns and styles. To get exactly what I wanted, I realized I had to look toward the US market directly.

My method for shopping the US Baggu store
I learned early on that the US store often restricts shipping to certain international locations or charges a fortune for direct delivery. We found that the most reliable way to shop us store sites is to use a local presence. I decided to use comGateway because they provide a tax-free us address in Oregon. This is a huge win because it means I don't pay any US sales tax on my Sanrio goodies before they even leave the country.
I simply entered that address at the Baggu checkout, and my package was on its way to the warehouse. If you are curious about the details of the process, I recommend checking their how it works section to see the step-by-step guide.
Using a freight forwarder to skip the wait
When my items arrived at the warehouse, I was notified immediately. Using a freight forwarder gave me the control I needed. I could see photos of my items and ensure the patterns were correct. I also took a look at their FAQ to see how long they could hold my items if I wanted to shop from other US stores and combine my packages into one shipment to save on international shipping rates.
How it works for Belgium shoppers
Shipping to Belgium has its own set of quirks. We have to be mindful of the transit times and the reliability of the local courier once it leaves the US. I used the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost before I even hit the buy button. It helped me decide if I wanted to add a few more pouches to my cart to make the international shipping fee more worth it per item.
Shipping estimates for your Sanrio haul
I put together some estimates based on my own order of the Baggu x Sanrio 2026 Summer Collection to help you plan your budget. These are based on a typical "haul" consisting of three reusable bags, one puffy laptop sleeve, and a medium crescent bag.
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) |
| Box Dimensions | Small to Medium (Approx. 30x30x20 cm) |
| Volumetric Warning | High. Puffy sleeves and crescent bags contain a lot of air. They are light but take up space, so your shipping fees might be calculated based on volume rather than weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. These are fabric goods, so you don't need to worry about special shipping rules for electronics. |
I always suggest checking the list of prohibited items before ordering, just in case you decided to add something extra like perfumes or aerosols to your US order.
Dealing with Belgium customs and import rules
My package arrived in Belgium quite quickly, but I had to be ready for the import process. In 2026, the rules for importing goods into the EU remain strict. Since my order was coming from outside the EU, I had to pay the Belgian VAT (which is 21%).
We should also remember that if your total order value exceeds €150, you might be hit with additional customs duties. I found that even with these costs, I was still paying less than the inflated prices on secondary markets in Europe. You can check the current international shipping rates on the shipping rates page to see which courier offers the best balance of speed and price for delivery to Brussels or Antwerp.
I hope my experience helps you secure your favorite pieces from the 2026 Sanrio drop. It took a little bit of planning, but seeing those vibrant patterns in person made every step worth it.
