It is funny, I have felt exactly the same I first not only did not understand what the fuss was about I actually disliked the shape of this bag and then slowly thought hmm and when I saw some of the colors I fell in love, the only hard thing is what color to get this in? The colors are simply amazing, I am sort of now thinking military too. I gotta first save up though lol or maybe I get their Mochila first? I first fell in love with Celine and now this bag actually took its place as my HG bag..
