I really did love this back because of the unique sleek design at the front. However, I only purchased this backpack because it was shaped of a square and almost looked like the survey adult sized backpack I had when I entered university in 2nd year back in 2016. I've been looking for this bag for years and the closest one to it is this backpack that I recently purchased. It's almost the same. Compact. Can fit my laptop, textbooks, water bottle etc... and still has that zipper that keeps everything safe in the first pocket. What I didn't like about it was the strap. It's not soft. It does feel lighter but this strap... If I carry anything heavy it hurts my back, not like the other backpack. If herschel reads this... Please bring back the adult sized survey backpack ... MoreI really did love this back because of the unique sleek design at the front.

Please bring back the adult sized survey backpack with the two straps at the front. I really did enjoy that backpack. I would appreciate it. The new one... sometimes I would move and the button that keeps everything together would come off :( Other than that... I rate this 4/5 also thanks for the pencil case!

Comfortable, looks cool- professional, not like a kids backpack. I like the leather hardware. Also, fabric stays clean and is water-resistant, padding is great, side pockets hold water bottles snugly, interior pockets are organized and roomy. Overall, it’s a great bag.I took off 1 star because the buckles to adjust the straps are plastic (at this price-point I’d expect metal, as with my backpack from everlane).

I got my first city backpack almost 10 years ago believe it or not and it was in great condition until the single solid rubber strap broke. I’ve washed it countless times and I guess it ran its life! I contacted Herschel and was so happy to hear there was a lifetime warranty and I could get a new one to replace my favourite bag!!! I’m so very grateful although the quality has unfortunately gone down. There is no padding in the straps which is the biggest disappointment ( for someone the travels with two laptops everyday) it’s not comfortable at all and I’m debating on bringing it to a shoe/bag repair to change out the cheap shoulder straps. The single front snap strap is made of a thin leather type material and the snap isn’t nearly as strong. I also loved the ... MoreI got my first city backpack almost 10 years ago believe it or not and it was in great condition until the single solid rubber strap broke.

The only positive difference is there is an added layer of lining in the zip pocket but that’s not really necessary. Thought I’d share in case anyone was re-purchasing after so many years! I’m super impressed with the customer service and will continue to add onto my 10+ Herschel items I own.

I had this bag for a year before the single strap broke. The bag is a good size and the external zip pocket is useful. The main problem is that the only closure for the bag is the single magnet strap. The magnet pops open if the bag is full and the single strap is under too much pressure;hence why is broke after only a year. The laptop sleeve is fine;but there is no internal pocket so everything sloshes around inside the bag. Otherwise a nice bag.
I was blindsided by the reviews I read about it being a great backpack.... it’s not. I am a college student and I actually did buy the bag so this review is reliable. I wanted to carry my small laptop and a few other small things for college. I read all the reviews, literally, and no one wrote anything helpful or bluntly truthful so here ya go. The material used for the straps is scratchy and uncomfortable and unless you’re wearing a thick sweater, it hurts! There are no pockets inside the main compartment. It’s just one single compartment, which I thought was a little weird and inconvenient. The padding in the bag is NOT enough for a laptop or important/ expensive device of any kind so... I tried putting a 13in laptop, a notebook, and binder in there and it was ... MoreI was blindsided by the reviews I read about it being a great backpack.... it’s not.

I tried putting a 13in laptop, a notebook, and binder in there and it was very very full (for size reference). If you have anything even remotely heavy in there, the bag looks weird/ bad from the back because of the fact that there’s just one strap closing everything together. It pulls in weird spots and looks funny. I am very disappointed. Not to mention I can’t even return it for a refund because I bought a sale color. really don’t know what this is good for... Hope this helps you look elsewhere and not waste your money like I did:/
This is the worst designed bag I’ve ever bought. Three reasons why.1. It doesn’t stay shut. The magnet clasp isn’t strong enough. When I cycle to work with my laptop in the bag the clasp pops open every time I cycle over even the slightest bump so I have to stop. And shut the bag again.2. The clasp flies up and hits me in the face when I open the flap. Because the strap is so stiff3. Undoing the buckle to extend or shorten the strap at the front is really hard as the strap is so stiff.Don’t buy. I’d like my money back.
I bought this backpack five (yep, FIVE) years ago for my final two years of high school, and have now used it for three more years of uni.I have used it nearly everyday, holding heavy textbooks, my laptop, pencil case, and water bottle. It is a perfect size I think, and stops me bringing unnecessary things with me like I would with a huge bag.The structured square shape means things don't move around much (like they would in a shapeless bag).After 5 years, it is starting to look a little bit dirty and the leather strap has some cracks on the underside but that is to be expected. The straps are not as comfy on bare shoulders as they could be as they have a sort of net material underneath.I haven't had any issues with the clasp coming undone & would buy it again ... MoreI bought this backpack five (yep, FIVE) years ago for my final two years of high school, and have now used it for three more years of uni.I have used it nearly everyday, holding heavy textbooks, my laptop, pencil case, and water bottle.

The shoulder bag is perfect, very beautiful and practical. However, I actually wanted to buy it in black and only realised after ordering that I had Windsor Wine. Unfortunately, the picture does not match the chosen colour. It would be nice if the system and correspond to the colours of the corresponding products!
