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

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!!

I bought this bag pacifically for non carry-on flights …I went to Vegas for 4 days with this bag.. I was able to bring 4 days of clothes with one pair of shoes which was converse..

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.

I ordered this yesterday, and it has already arrived. Im an adult student with massive anatomy, chem, calculus books, and I wanted a bag that could hold all that relatively elegantly. Feels good on and fits a LOT of heavy textbooks, so Im hoping this will hold up for years. Keep an eye on the pricing of this one if you are considering purchasing this Little America bag; yesterday when I purchased it the price was $84.99...today the price is $69.99. I dont usually check on these things and was thoroughly shocked and disappointed to see the change so immediately after my purchase. I called Amazon and they agreed to refund me the difference, but made it seem like this was not a typical practice. Still, the refund was submitted and I feel I got a fair deal, but my advice would be to keep this on a wishlist if you dont need it immediately and the price is higher when you find it, and just wait for it to drop. The blue tone looks great with the leather, glad I chose it over the red, though Im sure I would have been pleased either way.

This is a great backpack as far as style is concerned, but as a college student I have issues with its actual use. For one, you would think the magnetic clips on the straps would make it easy to close the backpack quickly, but youd be wrong. The magnets arent flat, so you have to line them up to get them to stay shut. It may seem like a minor issue when you think about it, but my school campus is a decent size and with only a ten minute interval between each class I need all the time I can get, so getting my stuff packed and ready to go after class is something Id rather do fairly quickly. Of course, this backpack is much easier to close than one with actual straps, but a zipper backpack would be even faster. Another small issue is the lack of places to store items, such as pens and flash drives. The pocket on the front of the bag has a keyhook, but thats it. Its annoying at times to have to dig around in a pocket and fish out what you need. On a positive note, the backpack has a very nice padded laptop sleeve that is very soft, so you dont have to worry about putting your laptop in an additional sleeve like with some other backpacks. Also, the material is very durable so I dont see it needing to be replaced for a few years. Overall, its a nice, stylish backpack with a great laptop sleeve, but it is not the best backpack if youre really into keeping everything organized or if you want to be able to toss your things in and go

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.

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!

I’m a pre-law college student who doesn’t like online books. Needless to say, I carry a lot of books with me for at least a 15 minute walk to campus. This bag has amazing support and weight distribution. Sometimes I second guess myself as to whether I actually packed a book or not, because it just feels so light. I live in the rainiest/ snowiest city ever and despite all that, my stuff has remained perfectly dry. With that being said, I do really wish that there was just one side pocket for a water bottle or umbrella, and maybe just one more compartment on the inside. However, the comfort of the bag outweighs these and I’ve adjusted to just packing everything in my bag. Awesome bag, love it!!

I love this backpack! It looks great and it holds a lot of stuff. I do use a packing cube to keep my clothing organized and separate from the other contents. I can fit two days worth of outfits, travel skin care elements, travel sized flat iron, hairbrush, two to three paperback books (or a laptop), mirrorless camera with long lens, and a water bottle. The backpack is comfortable when loaded, but the structured fabric keeps its shape even when its fully packed. I look forward to traveling just so I can use this backpack. My only complaint is the lack of external water bottle pocket for easy access.

Ive never owned a Herschel backpack so I dont have a comparison, but this backpack looks as it was advertised. Some reviews said they received unauthentic products but that does not seem to be the case with the ones In received. Mine came with the tags and little bag that seems to have come from the factory. There are subtle differences between the different models, Ive attached pictures to compare.
