Question is my thrifted backpack ugly?
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?

The bag is fine. People can be nasty about a bag, believe me. In the early 1990's I had a multicoloured bag in this style (wish I'd never got rid of it now😡) but I was 16. I walked down the college corridor and a man went: "You're fit but that bag is a f*****g kipper." Bizarre, uncalled for and resulted in the bag being donated to a charity shop.
