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

I bought this to replace my previous Herschel backpack, same style and size, but it was in black. That one lasted 6years before showing wear and tear. I love this new one, good size and the colors are great. Very comfortable, you almost can’t feel the contents inside.

I have to give it five stars for me personally, since it is exactly what I wanted - but, I do feel like I should be clear that its a bit of an odd size. It would be very large for an everyday back-pack. On the other hand, its not huge like a good hiking pack, either. I really did not want something that looked like camping gear. I dont camp. Im not sports-y. I would feel like a fraud carrying something from REI - but I needed something bigger than your average large back-pack. And thats the niche the Herschal Little America sits in. We went to France for eight days, and the Herschel was perfect for my needs - BUT, I also had a large tote bag. I probably could have eliminated a few things and done with just the Herschel - but, it would have been tight. As it was, the Herschel + tote was about exactly right. There are no dividers or pockets - just the laptop sleeve and a couple too-small-to-be-useful pouches - but I never use the organizers features when I have them, anyway; Im-a-toss-it-in-and-go kinda girl. (I have to say that I love the lining - totally makes the bag for me.) It seems solidly made and the straps and padding are all modern and up-to-date. Like I said - its not a hiking pack, so its not a highly engineered, ergonomic wonder - but it was reasonably comfy for this indoor girl to carry through airports and the jaunt from the bus station to the hotel, etc. Im very pleased with it. I would recommend it highly, provided you check the measurements against your needs.

I was very skeptical to buy this after previous reviews but was desperate for the prime shipping and took my chances. Thank goodness I did! Authenticity wise- make sure on the right hand side of the screen that it says sold through Amazon fulfilled by Amazon. It’s when it says “sold by” and anything other than Amazon that you roll the dice on getting a fake bag. Amazon has a partnership with Herschel but other sellers do not. (The broke college student I am reached out to Herschel to make sure I wasn’t getting scammed but happy to pass along help if I can!) Bag wise though the quality is great and I can’t wait to put it to use!

Great over all backpack. Great for backpacking travel etc. I use it for college not my favorite if you carry more that 3 notebook the rest of your stuff will be hard to fit in. Its hard to find smaller things such as pencil etc. Side pockets are too small for most phones. So its good but maybe not for college.

Great backpack. A little pricy but if you can find it on sale its worth it. The laptop compartment is great, fits most laptops up to 15 but be warned that a 15 laptop is a bit of a tight squeeze when you have books and other materials inside. The fact that its essentially one big sack is a blessing and a curse. Its really convenient to have one huge pocket to take everything in and out of easily, but some additional organization would be nice. There are two side pockets within the main compartment, each large enough to fit a TI-84 calculator. The front pocket is nice for smaller items you need to reach easily but it would be nice if it was larger. I keep a zip up pencil pouch in the bag to store smaller items that I dont need often but I like to have on hand.

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 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!!

Great seller. My backpack showed it was delivered but nowhere to be found. When I contacted the seller they asked me to give it a week and if still no backpack they would send a replacement, no questions asked. Fortunately it didn’t come to that, as the backpack showed up 2 days later. Oh and btw, the backpack is great. Herschel makes great products and this bag is no exception. Very happy with the quality

Love this pack! Perfect for packing all the things into work & keeping them dry in a drizzle. My only complaint is the magnet enclosures on the straps...they don’t work as well as I’d hoped, but seem to pop themselves free pretty regularly. Everything is still secured underneath so it’s not a risk of losing anything, just annoying to have the top flap flying loose. I put the buckles through holes a couple notches lower & it seemed to help, but still didn’t completely fix it. Other than that, big fan of this pack.

I like this backpack, its large and spacious, exactly as depicted. Its definitely a cool/cute backpack, but in terms of functionality Ive found it to be a little cumbersome with the magnetic latches. The magnets are strong enough (a good thing) where you cant easily yank the straps open, but when youre trying to get quick access to the main pouch or the small front pocket it gets a bit clunky and cumbersome. Though strong, the magnets are small, so when trying to relatch the straps to the magnets it takes a few tries. I just find myself fumbling at lot more with the magnetic latches than I thought I would (probably just user error/stupidity, but hey, thought itd be worth pointing out). For me, its one of those bags that looks great and gets a lot of compliments, but doesnt function as smoothly as a basic zip up backpack. The shoulder straps are nice, thick and padded, havent gotten shoulder pain/chafing. Good quality fabric and very spacious. The weight of the bag is a bit odd/off. When placing the bag upright on a flat surface, Ive found that it will always tip forward. So I have to lay it down flat, at an angle, or leaning against something. I bought this mainly because I wanted a larger backpack with more capacity that looked good. Heard great things about Herschel bags. Satisfied with my purchase, but I honestly dont know if Id repurchase this bag and would probably shop around more or consider the zip up Herschel backpacks (as I like the brand, just not this model/backpack).
