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

To be honest, I was a bit reluctant on getting this backpack as I felt it was to trendy and not always trendy stuff are useful or comfy. I had to get it, cause I was looking for something that size and also with a laptop compartment to keep up with my busy and long days. Ive tried more than 6 backpack brands and although they are well designed, there was always something not convincing me. Now, Ive been using this Herschel Supply Little America Backpack in Black for 3 weeks now AND... I cant believe it took me SO LONG To get this master piece. It is so well designed, the fabric its wonderful, the design is very sleek, everything fits perfectly and most importantly the weigh is well distributed. it has a padded back so it feels very natural and nice when Im wearing it. Its MAGNIFICENT! I think the best part of it, its that its very stiff as well, so it keeps its form throughout the day NO MATTER WHAT! if you have busy days and you need to carry a lot of stuff like me, please do yourself a favour and get this babe!

The bag was nice until recently (purchased December 2020, broke November 2021). I had trouble contacting Herschel via phone for warranty info but was able to live chat right away. Instructions from Alice were, You fill this out and our team will review your claim - the end result is a gift card code for the value of a replacement through our online site. Amazon is separate and so will the Herschel store on Amazon - youll list the retailer as Amazon and you can upload a screenshot of the proof of purchase. I hope this indeed does work with the replacement, but as far as the bag quality is concerned, I am not impressed.

Very cute. Not very functional. If you like a big bag with no storage/organization pockets then you will love this bag. I however like my bags to have some sore of built in organizing pockets. I did not like the drawstring pull shut. I really just didnt like this bag. Its difficult to quickly access anything, no water bottle holder or easy access pouch. However my husband love his. So its personal preference. It did hold up well and wears well and is durable, and packs alot in it. 4 stars because I wish it had more pockets but it has everything as described and was an authentic bag with good quality.

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.

Bag was excellent but I just needed a larger one

This is by far my favorite backpack. It has the ability to carry so much, and its very comfortable to wear. The padded pocket for the laptop is really nice to provide some protection, im able to fit alot more in there then just the laptop, whether its the charger or an iPad, or even an external hard drive. I use this as my daily backpack because of how much I can fit in without it being a huge bag on my back. The only thing that I wish would be that it had a water bottle pocket on the side but you cant win them all.

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

**Update - 2 years later** This bag ended up being a disappointment. The lack of organization pockets is a big miss. The more I used it the more I hated it. Everything ended up just loose in the main compartment. The shoulder straps didnt last either. All of the padding in the left strap has collapsed, I guess thats because I usually put the left strap on first. The right strap is almost just as collapsed. For the price it should have lasted much longer. My jansport from college lasted 4 years and is still in great shape at a fraction of the price. --Original review-- It works well for commuting, I can fit a lot in it. Wish it had a couple more pockets on the inside. There are 2 small pockets on the inside to hold a phone or something similar. Wish it had a pocket inside that could hold pens and other items. You just have the front pocket or let them be loose in the larger compartment. I like that it isnt covered with strap and and clips, its very clean looking, just wish the inside had a little more organization. Ive been using it about a week now and its very comfortable. Id recommend it, just wish it had better pocket options.

Bigger than expected but high quality and comfortable. Looks great too!

I love these bags. They function well for the most part and hold up over the years. That said, I’m due for a new one, and they all seem to be out of stock. I reached out to the company to find out when they might get more of the Raven Crosshatch/Vapor Crosshatch/Tan bags in, because thats the one I really want. They told me it was a limited edition for Amazon and they won’t make it again. Kinda drives me nuts because I subscribe to their newsletter but they don’t tell me if they’re making a new bag for Amazon if Zappos. Then these gems sell out before I find them. Such a disappointment. I wish the company would bring back designs, or leave them active longer or at least do a better job getting the word out.
