At first I hated them, but since they've become so popular I've become more and more accepting of the look on other people. I am a my little pony fanatic, and I've already bought a couple of pieces from the new Moschino collection including the mini backpack: https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/mai...DER<>folder_id=2534374306622829&bmUID=lWNvnui

(Please don't bother telling me it is a tacky back because basically everything I own has a cartoon character on it so this whole collection is basically my holy grail).

It just feels like a really weird transition for me to wear a mini-backpack so I'm wondering if any of you can share tips for me about pulling this off or getting used to it?

What do you find difficult about it or not like about it?

Sometimes it just happens that a design we like comes only in styles we don't. I've passed up many designs because of this. Have you looked to see if Moschino has this print in other styles? I assume so. It's tough, probably next to impossible, to force yourself to use a style that just doesn't work for you. You might do it for a little while, but eventually you're going to get frustrated and go back to what you're comfortable with.

The price point is quite high to collect them just because, but you can do that if you want. Maybe you can find a use that a backpack would be suitable for, like school or the gym or travel? Not every bag has to be good at everything. Maybe this won't work as an everyday bag, but maybe you can find some other way to use it.

I guess I've just never worn one (aside from when I was a kid in the 90s!). It seems like the straps would make your outfits look weird! Yeah it only comes in this one, they have a few clutches and some weird bags but I just love this one enough to try to make it work!

Yesterday, was in crowded public toilet.
As young mother wore her overstuffed mini backpack.
Her unruly child ran around. Stopping occasionally to point at ladies using sinks & scream, "Who's she?!"
EVERYONE got smacked with that backpack.
During her frenzied attempts/rapid turns/lunges to corral the crazy squirt.

So, they're cute bags.
But do stick out from your back.
And do not stop existing, when not in wearer's view.
That would be my tip--avoid being oblivious & smacking strangers with it.:lol:

I bought items from deadly ponies' latest m.l.p. collection, so totally get it.:tup:
Enjoy.

Soooo cute!!! I don't think it's tacky at all. I do not discriminate when it comes to handbags...LOL!!! I love my classy/dress up bags but I also LOVE my "fun-ky" bags.
