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

Love the bag, it’s a good look.

I often get asked about my adventures through the wilderness while wearing my backpack. To the outside world, I appear to be a cunning survivalist capable of enduring natures harshest conditions. In reality, Im just a 22-year-old college girl who needed something sturdier after my super cute, sequin-bedazzled backpack broke under the heavy weight of knowledge. Although the backpack is somewhat large for me, I dont really mind. Im 57 and weigh about 120 pounds and the backpack is not overbearing in any way. I fit my 15 laptop in the bag along with 3 textbooks, 3 notebooks, my laptop charger, my phone charger, and a pretty large-sized clutch. The best things about this backpack, besides having everything I could possibly want in one bag, are the very padded and comfortable back and shoulder straps. It is also nice not looking like a homeless bag lady for a change. I bought the Herschel in black (in order to properly mourn the death of my multi-colored, sequin bedazzled backpack). Although the price was a bit steep for me, I think the quality of the bag is worth the cost. I expect this bag to last me for a few years, if not several. If you are considering buying this bag, you should just do it. If you dont like it, you can return it. If you do like it, you can wear it around and liken yourself to Christopher McCandless.

This company hits the nail on the head when it comes to quality and durability. I only wish other products I buy were made as good as the ones that come from Herschel. You can tell by the feel of the material down to every stitch time and great effort went into making a good product. Love love all of their pieces. Can’t wait to see what comes out next!!

Bought one 6yrs ago and still going strong but getting another one because sibling borrowed mine. Bought 3x and have to return 3x because of bad quality... as you can see the magnets have gaps which doesnt stick well. The stitches are also bad. Ended up buying from retail store.

I purchased the Herschel Supply Co. Little America Backpack in black at the beginning of the school year, after my old backpack started tearing and hurting my back when I walked to class. After using this backpack for over 6 months, I can say its the best one Ive ever had! As a college student who does a lot of walking, this bag is essential. If youre a student, Im sure youve experienced how much it can ache to carry around heavy textbooks all day and feel them hit your back when you walk. With this bag, my back pain was gone after my very first use. The padding on the shoulders and straps is like a cushion and I cant even feel the books Im carrying. Such an improvement! Not only is it a cool design and material, its also really durable and secure. When it rains, it keeps my books and laptop completely dry and the secure magnets and tie make it so nothing ever falls out. The best part is the inside with its laptop slot, keeping your electronics safe. I do wish it had a pocket for your water bottle and its lacking an inside liner pocket to store smaller items. This bag was really worth the money and I have a feeling its going to last a long time!

I have received many compliments on this bag!!! It is really cute and materials and build is great! I have had and used it almost every day for a few months now and havent had any problems yet. I am a 56 average build female and the mid-volume fits well! Glad I purchased this one instead of the regular sized one. Having said all that, I dont like that theres no place for a water bottle so I end up having to hold mine or use up valuable space inside the bag. Its a little small so dont expect to hold a ton of college books or other items. For my purposes it works just fine. I use it to carry an extra set of clothes and shoes for the gym. Not the easiest to find small items especially in main section because it is just one large container. Things get lost easily in there. The front pouch can fit my small wallet, keys, and phone. I wouldnt recommend this as a travel bag since it is really hard to access anything you would need quickly. I decided to keep this bag because it looks great, works for my uses, and I can wear it to work.

Im wearing the bag high in this picture, but wanted everyone to get an idea of how big it is. Im petite, 52, and thats how it fits when the straps are tight. I love the width and depth of this bag. I use it for a lot of purposes, but I often use it for my camera and camera gear. I bought it along with the Koolertron New Shockproof DSLR Camera Bag Insert and it fits just right! The inside is great as it has a protective laptop sleeve and a couple side pockets. Then, the front has another pocket as well. And, the color is amazing! Some people reviewed that the snaps are difficult or come off, but you just have to be careful with how hard you pull on the straps (just like anything else). This is my first Herschel purchase but it definitely wont be my last.

I purchased this backpack for college. I wanted a backpack different from every other backpack I had purchased before to carry around campus and ever since I saw the Herschel backpacks, I was really amazed by their style. I tried at a store the regular-sized Little America backpack with its 19.5 (H) x 11.25 (W) x 7(D) 25L dimensions and it was too big for my liking. The size of this Mid Volume backpack is perfect with its 16 (H) x 10.75 (W) x 5 (D), 17L dimensions. My 13 MacBook Air fits perfectly(see photo) and even with room to spare. The interior design(see photo) is made of an eye-catching design with red and white stripes that really gives an original touch to the bag. The laptop pocket of the bag is made of a fabric that feels like soft, delicate velvet, really pleasant to touch. The front design with the brown straps look good and the magnetic strap closure is very strong and high quality. The front pocket which has a zipper is very useful and I use it to put school supplies and all kinds of tiny stuff. Additionally, the padding on the back is very good and makes the backpack rest comfortably around my shoulders while I carry it. The only reason Im giving it four stars is because the straps on the back are too short so they kinda make your chest be tight when you carry the backpack around.

This backpack is pretty huge, my 16-month-old toddler crawled into it and made me carry him around. He wears a 4T haha! That being said, it is very sturdy and fashionable. So glad I bought this backpack! I foresee many semesters of college using this. Only downside is the canvas fabric collects a lot of cat hair (story of my life) but I dont really care cause everything I own is covered in cat hair. Also the inside is pink, luckily I am a girl (although I am not partial to pink) but if youre a guy this might deter you from purchasing. (real men wear pink tho, amiright?) Buy this bag and you wont regret it! Comfy cushions on the back and straps. The leather straps do not actually connect though, which was weird, they are secured by magnets. Will update later for quality reporting...

I bought the black crosshatch/black rubber backpack, and I am impressed with the sturdiness and quality feel of the material and straps. I went with a color that has rubber straps based on reviews that the pleather straps crack over time. So far, it is slightly difficult to open/secure the straps quickly if you’re just trying to grab your wallet or keys. However, it is comforting to know that it will be equally difficult for a stranger to open it without me knowing! I also kind of wish it had an external water bottle pocket. The mid-volume is the perfect size for my shorter torso (I’m 5’3”) and my 13” laptop. Overall, it’s a great looking backpack even if it is not the most practical pack I’ve ever used.
