5.0 out of 5 starsSimply the best backpack ever!
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2016
Let me just tell you, if you told me a few months ago that I would ramble on the internet about how cool and great a backpack is, I would have thought that you're insane but here I am now.

I don't even know where to start! I bought the Heritage one back in early December and have been using quite a lot for travel and school. This thing is a-ma-zing! I am able to put in my 15" laptop in there just fine and I can carry a TON of stuff. I took a trip in December and I had to carry my laptop and charger, some books, my Nikon DSLR camera and a change of clothes in there and it fit just fine. But the best part is not all that you can put in there but just how comfortable it feels while carrying it. I have mild scoliosis and have had all types and sorts of backpacks before but they all give me back pains after a few minutes of standing and carrying around. This one is so comfortable it literally feels like you're not carrying anything at all. The straps are padded and so comfortable and the material is really sturdy that it doesn't really move when you walk around, which I think adds benefit to the comfort.

The material also has some sort of waxy finish (not at all a bad thing, just makes it a little stiff) that makes it water resistant! (NOT waterproof). I love that even though you don't fill out the backpack or the front pocket, it ALWAYS maintains the shape. That's a big plus in my book. And I wouldn't want to forget the fact that the color and design is extremely pretty, so it's a backpack that I would want to continue using for a long period of time.

Overall, I am EXTREMELY pleased with my purchase and I'm so glad that I paid the extra buck for something that has great quality. My recommendation for you is that you can get much cheaper and pretty options, yes, but this is one that can be pretty and will also last you a long time so in the end, you will save a lot more money. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Optimum Herschel Experience:
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015
Verified Purchase
Go to your cart, remove whatever other Herschel bag that is in it and replace it with this. This bag is the pinnacle of Herschel backpacks, with a long list of essential features that aren't met by the usual bags. In terms of functionality, the padded laptop sleeve and mesh organisers are essential, whilst the smaller fleece iPad pocket is a useful storage space. The shoe compartment and extra side pocket are handy to say the least, allowing easy access to the bag. For example, I sometimes store a sweater or hat/gloves in the bottom compartment and calculator in the side pocket for ease of access. The bag would look better with all black detailing, but the interior is a refreshing touch. The sunglasses/phone compartment will get endless use, the placement at the top of the bag is natural and effective, separating valuables from pens, coins and cords. The Herschel heritage plus combines style with versatile storage allocation to provide the full experience for work, travel and study.

Key points:

Laptop sleeve is ideal for MacBooks but I assume suits other sizes.
Padded laptop compartment creates more comfortable weight distribution.
Mesh pockets and valuable's zipper pocket are essential for organising.
Shoe pocket is a seperate layer of lining within interior, so that items can be placed around contained shoes.
Bag has relatively sturdy build and is ideal for those with extensive everyday carry's or a variety of items required for their work or study.
Stylish and currently highly sought after bag (Amazon was the only place I could get it from! [I live in Australia])

Issues:
Brown leather clashes (personal opinion)
Key clip in front pocket seems arbitrary
Leather tags are lost easily

Overall rating:
96/100

5.0 out of 5 stars STILL the best backpack I've ever owned - 5 year update
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2017
Size: Classic 21.5LColor: BlackVerified Purchase
5 year update: I have gone from using this backpack to get between classes at college to now using it to carry my lunch, papers, and laptop to and from work. It has a bit of a patina on it; The leather has a few nicks, the fabric a few stains, and it definitely has been well loved. But it still sits very comfortably, securely holds everything you put in it, and the zippers work like the day I got them.

I was scrolling through my Amazon profile and remembered purchasing this and reviewing it. I felt it was worth leaving a 5-year update, because so few things in this world are built to last. Based on the way it has broken in and the rate of wear, I don't suspect I'll need to replace this anytime soon.

The original review text is below.
---

The material is high-quality and well built, with a strong leather base to support several heavy textbooks plus a laptop, and the canvas material looks and feels great. The backpack sits on me well and feels very comfortable, distributing the weight on my shoulders and back nicely.

I appreciate the care that goes into the little things, such as the included elastic loops on the straps to prevent the excess material from dangling and getting caught on things.

To boot, the whole thing looks stylish as well. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice semi-minimalist bag… product has been updated/redesigned, lost 2 advertised features.
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024
Size: Classic 21.5LColor: Black Crosshatch/Black RubberVerified Purchase
Super simple bag. Main compartment with Herschel red stripe fabric. Striped fabric piece divide the laptop section from the main compartment. Everything seems stitched well. Front pocket has key hook. Zippers are YKK. The “update” to the bag is less features— there is no small media pouch inside the main compartment, and the rubber headphone grommet is gone. I was looking forward to the additional internal pouch. Given the bags simplistic design.
Also has functional “lash tab” or” pig snout” for attaching anything from water bottles, an axe or a machete externally. Straps are comfortable. I’m 6’+ and I can get the bag on and off no problem. Got 4 stars due to the nonexistent, but advertised media accents. The media setup is even visible in sellers photos. Would make a nice looking diaper bag for a dad with some swagger… can hold about 6 bricks of baby powder. With room for some diapers. And some tea leaves. Once it’s closed you can’t see bags contents. Unless you have x-ray vision; or a diaper sniffing doberman… still miss the media setup, great place for some RAW paper towels, perhaps some anti-pinkeye Drops, a small make up mirror, or whatever type of gear you need to fix every day issues. The majority of my love for this bag is it matches my Herschel duffel bag identically. Inside and out!

Nanami Q.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price.
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
$55 for a children's backpack? Who would buy that? Me. I would buy that. And I've considered returning it and buying something cheaper for a whole week after it arrived. I had buyer's guilt bad... but not anymore.

I've had the hardest time finding a backpack for my son to use for school. Many children's backpacks with the cartoon characters are poor quality and would cost you anywhere between $15-35 a pop. I wanted something classy and that was built to last. I've considered Jansport, but it was incredibly big compared to my four-year-old. I've heard Hershel was a great brand, and after a few hours of debating, I bit the bullet and bought it.

And it was the best decision I've ever made.

This bag is the absolute perfect size for a preschooler. (Yes, it can fit a folder without bending. Big plus!) It is well put together, sleek, and sturdy. My son arguably has the nicest bag in his class. After a few months of use, it still looks awesome and cleans up easily. I believe (and hope) it will last him another year or two.

This bag could work for adults too who don't have much to carry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for! Minor inconveniences that can be looked past for now
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020
Verified Purchase
Awesome, vibrant blue, great size, not overly complicated with a million little pockets, just what I was looking for!

My complaints: the zipper pulls are poorly designed. They come off easily as they are faux leather just looped around. I don't mind though, I took them off and I put keychains on instead.

I either expected the material to be more stiff or less stiff. It's kind of a weird in between material that keeps it's shape but is quick to wrinkle. That also doesn't bother me too much, it could be worse.

The zippers themselves are made out of a cheap feeling plastic and since the material is a stiffer material but not fully shape-keeping, it makes the zipper a bit wonky and hard to pull without adjusting the material.

I will update if needed, but it seems to be pretty good so far! I can look past those minor inconveniences for now.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like this backpack
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
I really like how this backpack already has that "broken-in" feel. The material is not stiff like many new backpacks and this one just feels like you've had it for a long while already. My only issue with this bag are the zippers. They seem a bit clunky and difficult to zip-up in one swift go. Especially the front pocket, that one is a pain in the @$$ to close completely. I'm sure that problem will go away the more I use the bag though, so it's not a solid complaint really, just a minor issue.
Also I really like how the laptop section of this bag just has an elasticated partition rather than a pad that takes up too much space in the bag. That was one of the major buying points for me because I don't take my laptop with me everywhere all the time, so having the padding take up that much space when it's not needed was a ongoing problem in the other backpacks that I've had.
One last thing that was a nice perk was the mp3 pocket located on the upper inside part of the main compartment. For me, using that pocket as it was intended was never going to happen, but it turns out it's a great place to store the little things that would otherwise get lost or damaged in the bag.
The coloring looks classic, the red pin-striping on the inside is cute & a bit silly and the straps are very comfortable. I highly suggest this bag to people if it's their style.

Very nice, well made. But if you need something with more pockets this is not bag for you. It has one main pocket with a relatively unpadded slot for your laptop and a smaller front pocket for pens, etc
Thats it. Simple design.
