Anyone here? I'd like some opinions PIP

Is this duffel bag cute or FUG?  It would be used as a quirky weekend getaway bag, or a carry on for a flight.

I think it could lean on the side of quirky (rather than tacky) as long as you keep your outfit neutral while you're carrying it.

I don't mind the second photo (back of it)

I wouldn't carry the bag myself.

It's definitely not my style but I agree that it could work as non quirky with a very neutral outfit.

I agree with TuckyBlue. It will work as a cute and quirky bag if your outfit is otherwise neutral.

I look at that and think "that's a sorta fun bag, wish I had the style to get away with carrying it" (my wardrobe is more classic/tailored...I can add quirky, but it has to be classic quirky.)

I was drawn to it because it says "fun" to me Smile

I like kitschy "greetings from" items personally and think a travel bag doesnt reflect against its owner so I'd do it. Who judges travel gear?

I (secretly) do too but I'd give you a pass for luggage.

Another vote for fug. The second photo isn't as bad as the top one, but I'm not a fan.

I like it.  I would probably wear a sort of tame outfit with it.  But I prefer to have travel gear that it would be hard for someone else to mistake as theirs.

I'm also voting no to this.

Well, I mean, it's cute, but not in the sense of something I would actually want to carry around.

i think it's cute but i would constantly be worrying about keeping it clean. is it canvas? if so, i wouldn't buy it because of how dirty it would get and that would make me nuts. i'd be washing it all of the time!

Not something I would carry.

I like the style of it, but I really don't like the print.  I'd be tempted to try to dye it.
