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

This is by far my favorite backpack ever (and Ive had a few). I am a law student, but I also work full-time. The option is to either 1) get a traditional back-pack, which makes you feel like you are in high school, or 2) resort to a more professional bag that tends to be less comfortable or hold less items. But with Hersherls Little America Mid Volume bag, I get the comfort and ability to carry lots of items, without compromising my professional look. I CONSTANTLY receive compliments on this bag. The interior laptop section is lined with faux fur material that provides extra protection for your most expensive items. The bag also expands quite large to hold heavy books. There is a pocket to place your cellphone and string headphones through, but I am constantly looking at it that I use that space to place a travel-sized deodorant. In the other small pocket on the inside of the big pouch, I am able to fit a small bottle of tylenol in case I am not feeling well. The front of the bag has a another pocket which nicely fits my pencils, pens, highlighters, and any other small things you might need. The drawstring features cinches everything up nicely so that you feel secure, and then you lock it with the magentic clasps. I live in a big city and ride a metro system, so knowing my belongings are secure is of great importance. Especially, since the bag is on my back, you would feel if someone was trying to get into your bag. And the straps are nicely cushioned and really help to take the weight off of your shoulders and back. I am quite petite - 52 - and this bag is not overwhelming, but holds everything you would need. I was nervous whether the mid-size would be big enough, but I am glad I went with it. Ive had this bag for well over a year now and it looks just as good as when I bought it. It has held up very well to the throwing on the floor, sliding across tables, etc. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this product to friend, family, or anyone else. It was worth every penny!!

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!

Love the way this backpack looks. This was the very reason why I ordered it, however I did like that it held my 13 macbook air very well. Not a lot of storage but enough to put pencils, note pads, and pens. There is also a cubby for your MP3 player...HINT: iPhone will not fit into this pocket so you are out of luck there... Also, maybe I got a sloppily made one but certain stitch work is frayed but easy to cut/fix. Not to mention the leather on one of the straps was not cut very cleanly which bothered me a lot at first, but I got over it seeing that the backpack will see its wear in years to come! All in all, an amazing backpack, it has a ton of general space inside and holds my giant music folders as I am a Music Educator so that makes transporting material very easy! A must for all suave and fancy college students whom are willing to pay around $90 for this beauty!

Im not totally satisfied with this bag. It is about 6 inches too tall for me. The height presents a problem in these situations: It doesnt fit in my bike basket and I bought the basket so I didnt have to lug around a backpack while riding. It also falls over unless you lean it up against something. Next- there are really not enough pockets! One for the laptop and two baby ones on the insides...with velcro. Its not ideal, but I guess it gets the job done. Lastly, the pocket in front for me is too small and not organized enough - I wish it had little pockets for pens or smaller things- that is often the problem i run into. I have different sized things and I end up stuffing them in that small pocket because theres not better accessible place for them. I kind of want to return this...The quality is great and it carries a lot, but not in an organized way. This backpack feels like a backpackers pack made for everyday use. Kind of awkward feeling as a commuter, but it is comfy at least, and stylish

I love these bags. They function well for the most part and hold up over the years. That said, I’m due for a new one, and they all seem to be out of stock. I reached out to the company to find out when they might get more of the Raven Crosshatch/Vapor Crosshatch/Tan bags in, because thats the one I really want. They told me it was a limited edition for Amazon and they won’t make it again. Kinda drives me nuts because I subscribe to their newsletter but they don’t tell me if they’re making a new bag for Amazon if Zappos. Then these gems sell out before I find them. Such a disappointment. I wish the company would bring back designs, or leave them active longer or at least do a better job getting the word out.

Bag was excellent but I just needed a larger one

I bought the black crosshatch/black rubber backpack, and I am impressed with the sturdiness and quality feel of the material and straps. I went with a color that has rubber straps based on reviews that the pleather straps crack over time. So far, it is slightly difficult to open/secure the straps quickly if you’re just trying to grab your wallet or keys. However, it is comforting to know that it will be equally difficult for a stranger to open it without me knowing! I also kind of wish it had an external water bottle pocket. The mid-volume is the perfect size for my shorter torso (I’m 5’3”) and my 13” laptop. Overall, it’s a great looking backpack even if it is not the most practical pack I’ve ever used.

Very nice and durable backpack. I wouldnt necessarily use this as a backpacking bag, but it is great for school and carrying large amounts of things in it. I carried multiple college textbooks, drawing supplies, computer, and computer charger in the main compartment with ease. The padding on the back allows for comfort so your back wont be sore or anything in the backpack wont be hitting your back as you walk. The computer sleeve is very nice as well. Nice material and has padding on the bottom so when you set your bag down, your computer wont be slamming on the ground as well. Overall, great product. I recommend buying it if youre looking for style, comfort, and durability. It is worth the money!

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

I got this backpack because I was going back to school. I love the way this backpack looks. Pros: - Looks Awesome - High quality - Looks Awesome Cons - Kind of hard to access the compartments quickly - Wish it had more compartments - Must tighten draw string and clasp magnets or stuff might fall out. - Wish it had and outer water bottle pouch (but I already knew it didnt have it) The looks on this bag is awesome. I listed all my reservations about this bag. I still really love it but I think that some of the other cheaper brands might have little more functionality to them. I dont regret buying it but be aware of the limitations
