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

This is by far my favorite backpack ever (and Ive had a few). I am a law student, but I also work full-time. The option is to either 1) get a traditional back-pack, which makes you feel like you are in high school, or 2) resort to a more professional bag that tends to be less comfortable or hold less items. But with Hersherls Little America Mid Volume bag, I get the comfort and ability to carry lots of items, without compromising my professional look. I CONSTANTLY receive compliments on this bag. The interior laptop section is lined with faux fur material that provides extra protection for your most expensive items. The bag also expands quite large to hold heavy books. There is a pocket to place your cellphone and string headphones through, but I am constantly looking at it that I use that space to place a travel-sized deodorant. In the other small pocket on the inside of the big pouch, I am able to fit a small bottle of tylenol in case I am not feeling well. The front of the bag has a another pocket which nicely fits my pencils, pens, highlighters, and any other small things you might need. The drawstring features cinches everything up nicely so that you feel secure, and then you lock it with the magentic clasps. I live in a big city and ride a metro system, so knowing my belongings are secure is of great importance. Especially, since the bag is on my back, you would feel if someone was trying to get into your bag. And the straps are nicely cushioned and really help to take the weight off of your shoulders and back. I am quite petite - 52 - and this bag is not overwhelming, but holds everything you would need. I was nervous whether the mid-size would be big enough, but I am glad I went with it. Ive had this bag for well over a year now and it looks just as good as when I bought it. It has held up very well to the throwing on the floor, sliding across tables, etc. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this product to friend, family, or anyone else. It was worth every penny!!

Love the bag, it’s a good look.

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.

When I was first shopping for a Herschel Backpack and had decided I liked the Little America look, I read through multiple reviews that said that the full-size Little America would look too massive on a person my height (55), so I ordered the mid volume instead. That was a big mistake. Im a college student, so I was looking for a backpack to wear around campus that would look nice even if I were wearing a dress and overall nicer clothing. Whenever I wear the typical L.L. Bean, North Face, or IVAR backpack with a dress, I feel rather like a small child whos been dressed by their mom for first grade. So I definitely wanted something that looked a little more adult and sophisticated, but I still needed it to be a size that would accommodate binders, multiple novels or literary textbooks, a pencil case, and my laptop. The mid-volume simply couldnt store all of that. In fact, it couldnt even fit the binder I needed, much less that along with a laptop and books! That aside, the mid-volume also looked terribly odd on a person my height! I felt more childish wearing that than I did wearing the more athletic style backpacks, so it had to go. I returned it and got this full-size Little America instead, and I absolutely love it! It fits everything I need and looks nice with everything I would ever wear to class. Plus the laptop sleeve is lined with this awesome faux fur fleecy material that keeps my Macbook dust-free and safe in the backpack. It has two little side panel pockets on the inside, and I like to stick a pencil case in one and sometimes a granola bar or piece of fruit in the other if Im going to be stuck on campus for a long time. The front pocket has a convenient clip to stick your keychain on, which is super nice if you misplace things as much as I do. Plus it just acts as a nice thing to keep those keys from wandering around in the big pocket of the backpack. One of my favorite things about this pack is how versatile it is, though. Because there arent dividers in the main section of the backpack, aside from the laptop sleeve of course, this school backpack switches to a weekend bag super quickly and easily! Its just as easy to store clothes and such in it as it is books and notepads, which is different from some of the other backpacks Ive had (see first paragraph for example brands). Bottom line: I love this bag. Its just what I needed, and it was such a good use of money.

Very comfortable and roomy backpack. Love the Cool Blue color. Highly recommend!

Bought this backpack to carry lunch and snacks to work. It does almost everything I need it to do. 4 stars just because I feel lit needs more pockets AND the cellphone pocket needs to be adjusted/upgraded to fit the bigger phones. I have the 12pro and it doesn’t even begin to fit in the 2 cellphone pockets. I end up just putting my cash tips in those two pockets

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.

The bag is good the only real problem is the pockets on the inside when i bought it I thought they would be bigger in person but they where a small but over all the bag is still good

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!

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