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

**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.

I bought this for a work trip that required me to travel but only have my carry on luggage for the plane ride. This backpack worked great as the second piece your allowed to bring with you onto the plane, and it fits perfectly underneath the seat in front you! Its definitely made for carrying a lot of things, which I did, but it never really feels heavy. I am a small person, and it probably looked big on me but it never hurt my back. The shoulder/arm straps are comfortable and padded, and the inside has a spot specifically for a 13 laptop computer. While the rest of the space is huge and can fit a enormous amount of anything else you could think to carry. The smaller front pocket on the outside of the bag zips shut and has a flap that comes over the top so anything in there is protected, and it is a relatively large pocket; I fit two iPhones, and phone chargers with plenty of room to spare (for small items). I only wish I could have known this backpack existed while I was in undergrad carrying 6 large textbooks, my laptop or notebook to classes everyday. I would recommend this product to everyone. It is sturdy and I suspect it will last a long time.

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!

Second one I purchased in 10 years. Still looks brand new but wanted another color

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.

Tonight, I woefully spilled an adult beverage all over my old Little America backpack. So, I hopped on Amazon thinking, its old, Ill replace it. Little did I know I purchased it on January 26, 2015. At the time I figured this was just a stylish, disposable fashion accessory. So, let me tell you where mine has been since 2015: 16 countries At least 150 flights Well over 1,000,000 car and airplane miles Ive lived out of it for weeks in hostels, hiked, gotten it muddy, Smashed under luggage, boxes, you name it, filled it with books, put 3 laptops in the sleeve at once, tossed soaked clothes and towels in it, spilled any number of substances, taken it to countless beaches and used it as a pillow, propped my feet on it under airplane seats...I could go on. And it just holds up. After nearly a decade, NOTHING has frayed, torn, or come loose. Sure, the padding in the left strap is shot, the fake leather is flaking, the tag and striped liner are stained. But it just keeps going. At this rate, I think Ill just toss it back in the washer (yes, you can wash it in a bag) and use it for another 8 years. Thank you Herschel for making such a stylish, durable bag that Ill love for a lifetime.

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.

My husband used my Herschel bag.. Do I decided to purchase one for holiday for him...I had to ultimately return it... The plastic bag it came in had no scuffs... The actual backpack the flap to open it, they leather straps were damaged. As if it was drug across the grown and then packaged. It was weird. Love Herschel bags, not from this buyer.

Got this for my brother as part of a going away gift for his first year of college. He’s a novice skater, so the styling fits him. The straps are actually magnets- the buckles are just for show. So it adds some flavor while still making it easy to access the storage. I stuffed some smaller gifts I’m inside for him, and was a bit underwhelmed by the capacity. It looks like it can carry more than it does. But since he’s using it for school, it shouldn’t be a problem. But if you ride a motorcycle, like me, and are looking to pack heavy for longer trips, this probably isn’t for you. The cool thing is that Herschel makes wallets that matches some of their backpacks, which I also picked up for him through amazon. He loves them both.

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