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

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.

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 skeptical at first if this backpack was genuine by Herschel from reading the other reviews. But I saw that one of the reviewers pointed out that the backpack will 100% be genuine if the product tab on the right says Shipped and sold by Amazon.com rather than a third party, in this case, Mivado? So definitely check that section before you purchase! I needed a backpack for work to carry my laptop, umbrella, and other necessities. The Little America Backpack stood out to me because I thought it looked great and the color matches my preference and style. It feels pretty sturdy but time will tell. Hopefully really resistant to rain and snow as well. Thats all I can say for now, may update in the future if anything comes up!

after constantly using this I can tell you that this was a VERY good purchase, even if its close to a hundred dollars. when I first got it I would get compliments on my cool and stylish backpack. I got it mainly because I moved to a city where I would be walking a lot and since I dont have a car I wanted to be able to fit my Groceries and school supplies in one bag without having to hold a lot of it in my hands. it works very very well for that reason. you can fit so much in it its amazing. my laptop is protected inside the case too (also because of the padding for your back, if my it ever falls over from my desk or a high place I dont have to worry because it doesnt get damaged.) Like I said I use this backpack constantly and I walk a lot with it so what I noticed is that because Im in the sun a lot, there is a discoloration in the material (I have a black backpack) that doesnt bother me too much, although it doesnt look as stylish. another thing is that about 6 months in the metal magnet fell off. (you can replace them for cheap so Im not worried about it either) I dont really have use for the smaller pocket but it does look nice. one of the major cons is that because it CAN hold so much you may tend to over fill it, when you do this it because VERY heavy and may hurt your back, it would be nice to have some kind of waist support included. also when you fill it until you can barely fit anything anymore you look like youre about to go camping ( I get asked that A LOT!!!) overall this backpack has lots of room to fill your books but dont get carried away because you will end up hurting yourself.

I got this backpack because I was going back to school. I love the way this backpack looks. Pros: - Looks Awesome - High quality - Looks Awesome Cons - Kind of hard to access the compartments quickly - Wish it had more compartments - Must tighten draw string and clasp magnets or stuff might fall out. - Wish it had and outer water bottle pouch (but I already knew it didnt have it) The looks on this bag is awesome. I listed all my reservations about this bag. I still really love it but I think that some of the other cheaper brands might have little more functionality to them. I dont regret buying it but be aware of the limitations

Son loves his backpack for school. Has a lot of compartment for is his odds and ends

Love love this bag. Perfect for traveling

I unfortunately do not have a car, this backpack is amazing for carrying groceries.

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 the 2nd bag I have bought. I bought my 1st one about 7 years ago and never realized that the snaps were not right (6 of the 8 were male) which I didnt care and I used this bag through College and it held up nicely even with all the daily weight. I can fit my laptop and a console in the backpack along with multiple days of clothing and it still isnt bulky! I now use the old bag as a day pack when I go hiking. I love this bag and highly recommend. The one I got from Amazon had one of the snaps come detached from the bag after only a day of use. I returned that bag and got a replacement and so far so good with the new bag!
