Classic Backpack XL

Bummed

Honest review- this backpack is a replacement. My original (no longer made) had organization in the front small zipper part, two side pockets, and double handle on the top. PERFECT. Customer service gave me a voucher to replace this bag as it fell apart with my usage. This purple bag… falls short, it’s very basic- no double side pockets (one for my phone and pens and another for a water bottle), no organization or small zipper compartments in the front pouch. The backpack is very basic, yes I searched for what I thought would be comparable. The quality seems great, thick, and sturdy. Will give it a try, but keeping my eyes open for a better fit. Also, free shipping over $75 doesn’t apply when shipping to Hawaii. That’s wasn’t great.

Better late than never.

I’ve always admired the classic look and simplicity of Herschel backpacks. Now that I have one I appreciate them even more. Plenty of room for all my daily essentials and a pocket for a big water bottle. Should’ve bought one a lot sooner, I love it.

Definitely not the classic backpack anymore, much thinner material and no longer has the traditional candy stripe interior. But the price reflects that as it’s also no longer near the $100+ mark. Will give it a shot and see how long it lasts
