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

I am obsessed!!! I started researching what backpacks would be best for law school & Legal Eagle on YouTube recommend this backpack. Let me just say, ITS AMAZING. You just feel the good quality. The back is made of a thick material, the black straps are nicely done, the laptop sleeve is so soft so your laptop is safe from scratches & the inside is spacious. You can feel & see the quality of it!! I continue to get compliments on it. I’ve taken it on flights & it never once hurt my back, the padding on the straps make it so comfortable. It also rained today & it held up great. It didn’t feel wet at all, I didn’t know this but a friend mentioned that it was water resistant, which gives me more of a reason to love it. Don’t let the price scare you, the quality IS WORTH IT!!!!

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

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 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.

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!!

This is an honest review from a real purchaser. This is an extremely popular backpack at my College/Grad school, but it’s not as externally durable as people would think. The stitching on 2 of the bands that the leather straps integrate with simply unraveled on their own after a few months of light use for school. Also, the posterior sides of the leather straps are prone to random breakage, leaving the anterior sides still attached. The bag is still very aesthetically pleasing, so I’m going to sew the bands back on with matching thread, and use superglue to reconnect the straps integrity. In contrast to the external side, the internal portion of the bag is very durable and the cushioning protects laptops very well from any kind of drops. After the straps and band were already broken, I decided “what-the-heck” and went ahead and tested washing the bag for the first time (on a Cold/Delicate machine cycle). Surprisingly, it cleans in the washing machine very well without any issues. The bag came out of the dryer looking brand new. I like how the bag looks and feels, it’s just the issue of external durability that this company should work on. I suggest adding more stitching to the ends of the bands that articulate with the leather straps, and applying a coating to posterior side of the leather straps to prevent the leather from random breakage.

To be honest, I was a bit reluctant on getting this backpack as I felt it was to trendy and not always trendy stuff are useful or comfy. I had to get it, cause I was looking for something that size and also with a laptop compartment to keep up with my busy and long days. Ive tried more than 6 backpack brands and although they are well designed, there was always something not convincing me. Now, Ive been using this Herschel Supply Little America Backpack in Black for 3 weeks now AND... I cant believe it took me SO LONG To get this master piece. It is so well designed, the fabric its wonderful, the design is very sleek, everything fits perfectly and most importantly the weigh is well distributed. it has a padded back so it feels very natural and nice when Im wearing it. Its MAGNIFICENT! I think the best part of it, its that its very stiff as well, so it keeps its form throughout the day NO MATTER WHAT! if you have busy days and you need to carry a lot of stuff like me, please do yourself a favour and get this babe!

A little bit smaller and stiffer than expected. But still overall a really nice quality bag.

The 17L backpack is PERFECT. Ive spent countless hours this past week searching for a backpack to carry around all of my things during the school day and this one takes the cake. I was a little skeptical at first because I like having some pockets to keep my smaller items from getting lost in the bag, but besides the small front packet, there are two small pockets inside on each side! Im able to fit my 11 laptop, 30oz water bottle, some books, snacks, wallet, keys and theres room for more. Ive already got so many compliments on it. 100% recommend if youre tired of using a stuffed pocketbook like I was before I switched over

Love the quality but the color is not a dusty or muted pink its more grey or muttled purple.
