Herschel Supply Co Womens Black Tonal Nova Recycled-polyester Backpack

I really love the backpack, it fits well and is a really cute color. I am 5’0 so most regular backpacks fit kinda weird and are disproportional to my body size but this backpack fits perfectly. It fits all my regular stuff like 13. 5 in laptop. Two college rule notebooks, planner, iPad and pencil pouch comfortably. Once again I really love the color!!

Backpack for travel

Bought this for vacation travel, airplane travel. I adore this. I got it I. White (but it's not bright white) and loved it the minute I saw it. Very well made and easy to get into and zip back up. Holds quite a bit but not too heavy. Great for airplane travel if you have an IPAD, phone, smaller purse to tuck in, book, and all your other incidentals. And there's still room for a bottle of water and snacks! There are two pockets on either side and a small zip pocket on the front. Inside has a pocket for IPAD or Laptop. My fav part is the handle straps on top that makes it easy to carry if you're not putting it on your back. It was a carry on on airplanes and float planes and it doesn't look like it was used. So A+ for resisting dirt, stains, etc. Very good value for ... MoreBought this for vacation travel, airplane travel. I adore this. I got it I.

Cute & Functional!

This mid-size backpack is cute and functional! It has a front pocket for items you need to grab quickly, 2 side pockets for a water bottle or phone and an interior laptop sleeve if needed. I was able to fit my laptop, spirals, a book, and snacks in the larger compartment with room left over. It's also durable and made of a thick, quality material. Would recommend!

Great backpack!

This is a great backpack. It stands up on its own which is something I really wanted. Love the color and the side pockets hold my water bottles. The straps were a bit stiff and were rubbing on my arms at first but they’ve softened after some wear. My only complaint is that the zipper is very stiff and sharp so I often scrape my fingers going into the bag.

Just Okay

Two main flaws with this bag-- the straps are incredibly uncomfortable and the brass zippers are really rough on your hands and any stuff that gets caught in them. You can't carry this bag unless you have a shirt collar between the straps and your traps/neck. They have a seam on the edges, not padding, and it just cuts into your skin. I ended up just carrying it around on vacation slung over the outer part of one shoulder, which wrecked my back. I think they were trying to make this less like a school bag and a little more slick, so there isn't much puff in the straps, and the canvas is so stiff, it practically cuts you. While I like the look of the brass zippers, they're rough on your fingers, and if you catch anything in them, it's not good. I wish I hadn't taken ... MoreTwo main flaws with this bag-- the straps are incredibly uncomfortable and the brass zippers are really rough on your hands and any stuff that gets caught in them.

On the upside, it looks good, is a nice amount of room in a size slightly smaller than a bookpack, and seems well-sewn.

Not the best if your are in school.

I bought this for my previous school year and it did not satisfy my needs. The narrow design made it hard to fit my binders and that's if I could even get one in. This is not practical if you are a high school or college student. I used this bag for my sophomore year in high school and I am now having to buy a new one for next year because it does not have enough space for anything more than a laptop, notebook and pencil case. If you are in need of a bag to just carry a few things then sure buy it. But if you need it for work, school or other things that include lots of stuff I would not recommend it.

Sent wrong bag 2 times. Poor zipper. Bad refund po

Normally i would love this backpack seeing all my friends have it and it’s super cute. I originally got the “light grey crosshatch” pattern seeing as my friend has the same one. When it finally came in the mail they sent me the wrong one (i know it’s wrong since my friends have the one i want). It was almost similar but still not the same. I returned it with the terrible $5 fee for their fault. I then order the same one i want on a different website which they still sent the wrong one. I almost thought i was wrong but when i showed my friends they said mine backpack was wrong and it was. The color was too dark and the inside has a brownish grey when it’s supposed to be red. The sipper is super poor and it’s super hard to open. I still love the design and want to get ... MoreNormally i would love this backpack seeing all my friends have it and it’s super cute.

Maybe even change the photo on the actual website instead of catfishing me!!

nice backpack to spend the day out

I was searching for a little bit bigger backpack as the City Mid Volume Backpack but not too big of a sized bag which I could take with me on an everday basis grocery shopping, going to a cafe or to the park. My upper body is quite small and a lot of backpacks do not look right on me just because of the size, length of the bags are often just too big and you can tell because they are the same size as my upper body is.I’m 168 cm tall which is 5.5.I mainly use the backpack when I go to a fitness class or to the park or just a quick grocery run to the store. Its not too big but also not too small which is the perfect in between. Unfortunately it doesn't have many compartments and when the main compartment is a little too packed it's hard to open the zipper small ... MoreI was searching for a little bit bigger backpack as the City Mid Volume Backpack but not too big of a sized bag which I could take with me on an everday basis grocery shopping, going to a cafe or to the park.

Unfortunately it doesn't have many compartments and when the main compartment is a little too packed it's hard to open the zipper small compartment on the outside. I also won't take it for the office or if I would carry a laptop as it is not padded at all. It holds its form quite nice so the material is stiff in a good way. Some package just lose their shape after a while where this one doesn’t loses the shape which I quite liked.Overall I do really like the size of the backpack but I don't use it as often as I intended to do. The size and padding is just not fitting for the office. So its more of a park/picknick going to a cafe or running small errands kind of bag (when my handbag gets too small).
