Herschel Little America Laptop Backpack, Navy/Tan Synthetic Leather, Classic 25.0L

The bag is a sturdy and durable bag with a fleece interior for the laptop. The only problem with this product is the dimensions are wrong. The bags dimension did not match what was listed in the product description. Was disappointed because the bigger bag is what I had in mind but it was not what I got. The bag I received was meant for only a 13 laptop and the site said it would fit a 15. Big Sadness

I love this backpack, I’m so glad I decided to give it a try. I need a new backpack because the one I was using previously put too much strain on my neck, back, and shoulders. As a student, I have to carry a lot of gear: multiple full binders, planner, notebooks, folders, laptop, supplies, etc. What I love about this bag is it is a little smaller than my last bag so it helps me only carry the essentials, but it still fits a lot. Also even when the bag is completely loaded up it feels comfortable on my back. The weight stays close to your back and is evenly distributed so it’s easier to walk long distances with a full bag. The padding on the back is the best I’ve ever had on a backpack and it’s one of my favorite features. I highly recommend this bag for it’s comfort and functionality. I would definitely purchase another one if needed, this bag is super sturdy. **For sizing reference I purchased the 25L. My last bag was 34L. Even with the difference in size my Herschel fits everything I need plus some. Also fit and height wise, I’m 5’11” and this bag sits from the top of my hips/ lower back to my shoulders. It’s a taller bag but the height helps a lot with pack weight distribution.

Pros: - High quality Material that is washable (mine was washed after I spilled a drink in the inside and still looks brand new) - Padded straps are soft and comfortable - Storage space is huge and provides great protection for a laptop (even supports the 15 in MBPs) - Contents can be easily accessed - Perfect for daily usage - Vintage/stylish look which will be trendy for a very long time Cons: - None! Overall: I currently use mine daily when I go to work (Backpacks are very big in the Silicon Valley Tech World) and also used when traveling and it seriously still looks brand new! Herschel seriously puts time and effort in their products and it shows. By far my favorite backpack Ive every owned. I also expect to use this backpack for many more years ( Though Id probably buy a few more in different colors since I love it so much!) I would highly recommend this as a daily usage backpack and also for those who travel frequently. Its seriously a joy to wear this thing.

I was also skeptical about these types of backpacks but I did hear about how good Herschel products are. I needed a new backpack for my second semester in the spring, so I just bought this bag. Honestly, I love it, but I wish there were more small pockets to stuff bigger items and two big pockets on the outside for my 40oz water bottle. Other than that, I love this backpack. Overall best quality type out there!

It seems to not have a good grip and continuously slides off of my shoulder when I have a jacket or coat on if I only have it on one shoulder. The space and size is perfect.

Fabric feels and looks great. I love the wine red color and the sharp contrast with the tan leather. Inside lining of white and red pinstripes go well. Overall, the bag is well-made and good for a short trip or daily commute. I particularly enjoy how the laptop sleeve is well-padded and slightly elevated from the ground. I only rate it a four star b/c I wish they had a separate sleeve on the side to carry a bottle. It would have been perfect!

This is a great backpack as far as style is concerned, but as a college student I have issues with its actual use. For one, you would think the magnetic clips on the straps would make it easy to close the backpack quickly, but youd be wrong. The magnets arent flat, so you have to line them up to get them to stay shut. It may seem like a minor issue when you think about it, but my school campus is a decent size and with only a ten minute interval between each class I need all the time I can get, so getting my stuff packed and ready to go after class is something Id rather do fairly quickly. Of course, this backpack is much easier to close than one with actual straps, but a zipper backpack would be even faster. Another small issue is the lack of places to store items, such as pens and flash drives. The pocket on the front of the bag has a keyhook, but thats it. Its annoying at times to have to dig around in a pocket and fish out what you need. On a positive note, the backpack has a very nice padded laptop sleeve that is very soft, so you dont have to worry about putting your laptop in an additional sleeve like with some other backpacks. Also, the material is very durable so I dont see it needing to be replaced for a few years. Overall, its a nice, stylish backpack with a great laptop sleeve, but it is not the best backpack if youre really into keeping everything organized or if you want to be able to toss your things in and go

I ordered this yesterday, and it has already arrived. Im an adult student with massive anatomy, chem, calculus books, and I wanted a bag that could hold all that relatively elegantly. Feels good on and fits a LOT of heavy textbooks, so Im hoping this will hold up for years. Keep an eye on the pricing of this one if you are considering purchasing this Little America bag; yesterday when I purchased it the price was $84.99...today the price is $69.99. I dont usually check on these things and was thoroughly shocked and disappointed to see the change so immediately after my purchase. I called Amazon and they agreed to refund me the difference, but made it seem like this was not a typical practice. Still, the refund was submitted and I feel I got a fair deal, but my advice would be to keep this on a wishlist if you dont need it immediately and the price is higher when you find it, and just wait for it to drop. The blue tone looks great with the leather, glad I chose it over the red, though Im sure I would have been pleased either way.

Great Backpack! Really durable material and the laptop slot feels very soft and cushioned. I keep my laptop in an AmazonBasics sleeve I got for it for extra protection. I was hesitant at first because I wasnt sure about the size and people had mixed reviews about it but after getting it I saw it was the perfect size. Im 56 so it fits the length of my back perfectly. In terms of functionality its a great back pack as its made of really sturdy material and the inside is well stitched and the cushioning on the back is awesome especially for a student like me who spends a lot of time at school. The price is a little steep but Im willing to spend more for quality than spend less for a cheaper product. I always wondered why people loved Herschel so much but now I know! I even got a wallet to boot so if you are a fan of Herschel check out their wallets!

I am honestly very pleased with what I received. I was really iffy about wasting my money on a really expensive bag, since I didnt really know what to expect just by looking at the few images amazon displays on the page. I heavily relied on the customer reviews and photos people posted (thank you, by the way) in order to make up my mind on whether or not I should buy it, or which color I should even buy. Suffice to say, This bag is very durable and looks much more visually appealing than i expected. With the red stripes in the interior, (which i originally thought was a turn off) it really compliments the black exterior of the bag, and the straps look very durable (not tacky at ALL) . The size measurements are very accurate and you can use my photos as proof. Although it is quite big on a 52 girl such as myself, it is able to 3 text books, a binder and a winter coat in it, with MUCH more extra space. Also, the back has very soft padding, on the arm straps as well, so it is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, even if you are carrying a heavy load. There are two mini pockets in the sides of the interior to store small items, such as a phone, sunglasses, ect. In addition to the fur-lined laptop pocket, which can safely hold my 15 inch Macbook Pro. The front pocket is just a pocket, with a little key chain holder to hold maybe hand sanitizer or keys. However, the only con i should point out is that there arent enough pockets. The front pocket is just a large pocket with no other mini-pockets inside, so this bag is highly recommended for people who dont carry many small items with them, or know how to use a purse or pencil case. I know the feel, being hesitant to order this bag since there werent many details specified in the page that wouldve be helpful to know, or believing that the specs arent reliable. So to ease your discomforts, I added photos that i took right when it got out of the box, including the measurements. Honestly, just buy it, it is definitely worth it.
