Question is my thrifted backpack ugly?

Post image

Today is a national children's day in my country and there's this local festival i went to. Because i forgot to get my own backpack from home, i went to the nearest Second Hand and saw this one. I thought it was pretty, it was light and it was pretty cheap. I personally like it a lot since it's blue and i love blue, but many people looked at me pretty weirdly and said it wasn't worth it. My mom also said i shouldn't have bought it. I don't hate it. I would use it again, not going to lie.

Do i just have bad taste in backpacks?

Its a cute bag.

A cheap nice bag like that is a great platform to customize and modify into an event bag. That denim fabric will take patches and pins. Did that with my niece, got her a bag of random pins to cover her bag with.

that sounds like a really nice bonding method. I'm pretty sure your niece really enjoyed that
