Herschel backpacks used to be quality products by I've noticed, little by little, corners are being cut & features being removed (e. g. , between my last one & this one, the key clip inside the small pocket & the second exterior water bottle pocket have been removed). Now is the time for another upstart backpack company to put out a product on par with the quality of Herschel backpacks from yesteryear & dethrone them.

A Mistake to Buy from Herschel

The strap on this backpack broke within two weeks of use. This backpack was used by my elementary school grandson and I ordered this directly from the company. I have been working for a month on a resolution to get either a refund or a replacement. Herschel Customer Service stated the the breakage (via a photo) appeared to be normal wear and tear. If Herschel products only last two weeks for normal wear and tear, Herschel should be ashamed.

School Backpack

This is a great school backpack! Second one my daughter has purchased. Good pockets for a water bottle and your laptop. Not super expensive.
