Herschel Novel Duffel Bag

I purchased this duffel about 4 plus years ago but only used it on 6 or 7 occasions. I found for air travel a roller bag was more practical. I kept it well stored. When I went to use this last weekend I discovered a nearly pristine bag with a completely disintegrated leather handle. The leather had separated from the rope like material beneath. I contacted the company about a warranty. There was one, but the cost of returning the bag for a repair or credit was going to be more money that it was worth relative to the original costs of $70. I wasnt happy with the companys options, so I just bought some leather tape and will made due. My point. The product is poorly made and there are likely better choices out there. Also, their warranty is costly in my opinion. I would have thought they would at least provide return shipping label. They require you pay mailing and packing expenses which are not cheap to send a trackable item back to the manufacturer.

I absolutely love their goods. This bag is great, durable and sturdy. It’s my go to carry on whenever I’m on the go.

Excellent bag for quick trips. Well made. Vendor gave outstanding service.

I really enjoy the product but it truly is a weekender bag. There is really only room for at most 5 outfits of clothes, shoes, and some toiletries. Other than that the bag looks great and feels sturdy!

I love my bag. It’s my gym bag and it works perfectly for what I need it for.

The bag is fine, very nice! However, the shoulder strap did not come with it.

Sturdy. Is it worth the almost $100 I spent? We’ll see in a few years. It’s a simple design with a good carrying capacity. I really enjoy having the shoe compartment

I cannot say enough good things about this bag! I purchased this bag because I was going back and forth a few times a week from my house to my girlfriends house and needed a bag to take back and forth. I didnt want something with a ton of pockets or straps or anything. I was just in the market for a simple bag, and the simplicity of this bag is where it shines. There is no other way to describe it other than simple. I took the shoulder strap off and would just carry it around using the two handles. There is only one pocket the inside, which was all that I needed just for simple toiletry items. There is a pocket on the outside as well for shoes, which came in handy so that I didnt have to carry a pair of shoes separately on their own. Also, the build quality of the bag is exceptional, the material of the bag itself is a very nice rugged material that Im sure can hold up to just about whatever you throw at it. The handles are of the highest quality as well and I feel like they will never wear down or break Overall, this is an amazing bag and I would recommend it to anybody looking for a nice simple duffle bag that is still of the highest quality.

I bought this as a gift for my husband who had used the same bag for a decade. He openly admitted he actually loves this new bag.

Love this bag. I tried to buy a knock off version that was 50-60$ cheaper and I returned it and picked up the real thing. This is such a nice quality bag. I use this for the gym mainly. I can get all of my work items in there and gym clothes and a towel. It would make a great weekender as well. The shoe compartment is a nice added benefit. I honestly dont use it that often, but its a nice addition for when you have slightly wet shoes (or even nice shoes) and want to keep them in their own comparatment.
