Herschel Novel Duffel Bag

I like that there’s a lot of room to put stuff in this bag. I use for the gym although it’s not very very practical for the gym because after my shower I have to dig inside to find my keys, wallet, phone, etc. but other than that I love it. Just would of purchased a smaller one if I knew how big it really was

I love this bag! I use it every single day as a gym bag for work and for weekend trips! It really can fit a lot and its separate side pouch for tennis shoes is really great for keeping the smell of post workout shoes and socks away from everything else. The design is super cute and I constantly get compliments on it. The ONLY reason why this bag is not getting five stars is because the shoulder strap sometimes makes a squeaking noise when I walk which is a tad annoying. But besides that this bag is cute and functional!

Love this bag. The colors look much better in person. I also got the matching travel toiletry case. I love love the Herschel brand and the durability of their products! The Herschel packaging was extremely raggedy - since this was a gift I couldn’t keep it in the original packaging, super inconvenient.

Holds plenty, not heavy yet durable, my go-to bag for travel.

Shoe storage pocket is great. Interior of bag is nice. Wish it had more than one mesh pocket inside. The fake leather handles are kind of tacky.

Idk if this is a actual Herschel product within a month the strapped popped. Reached out to exchange but to no avail I received no help. Now I’m a very big fan as I have the back pack and Fanny pack to this collection and grateful that I’ve had no issues with those items. May be because they were purchased at Nordstrom and not Amazon . Don’t waste your time pay the money and get the product worthy of what you paid. $70 bucks down the drain.

The zipper keeps splitting… is there warranty on this?

This is a great gym bag. My husband can fit everything in it and it’s ruddy. High recommend

A few of my friends recommended a Herschel bag to me. I ended up picking one up and using it for a short trip. For a few days, this bag will work fine, but even as a light packer I dont think this bag will be good for a week long trip. Its bigger than some other weekender type bags, but the size of the bag isnt really the issue as much as I question the durability of it. The shoe pocket is useful but doesnt hold bulky shoes too well, especially multiple pairs. I was able to fit two pairs of lower profile sneakers easily but couldnt have packed any boots or chunky basketball sneakers in there with anything else. The inside lining of the bag is bright and attractive, which is nice, although there are no pockets besides the shoe compartment to aid in organization. The color combination of the bag is also sharp with the tan handles. The plastic hardware seems to be a weak point, which is why I dont recommend this for people who pack heavy, even though the bag can hold it, the shoulder strap didnt feel very sturdy to me. The fabric they used to make the bag is feels nice to the touch but isnt as thick as expected. The stitching on the bag doesnt seem to be especially strong either. The zippers also didnt glide smoothly, but I fixed that by rubbing a pencil on the zipper. Ive had to do that for some of my older bags, but having sticky zippers straight out of the package is not very confidence inspiring. Bottom line this is a bag that looks really stylish and is roomy, but has some questionable build quality. My friends swear by their Herschel bags, so maybe quality control has taken a dip as these have gotten more popular. For the price, Im a little disappointed that I didnt get a higher quality feeling product. I feel like I paid for space I cant utilize fully since Im scared this thing will bust at the seams and zippers if packed tight. Ill keep using it for lighter weekend trips since I like the way it looks, but I wouldnt recommend this for anyone who is looking a bag to live out of for a week.

This bag is an excellent gift! I purchased this for someone else and immediately got myself a matching bag. The bag is high quality in stitching and perfect for a weekend away!
