Being young and owning a Herschel backpack is like being a chef in a five-star Michelin restaurant. It is a privilege that says a lot about you – that you have style, high standards, and an eye for detail.

The history of the Herschel brand

The Canadian Herschel Supply brand was founded by brothers Jamie and Lyndon Cormack in 2009. They named it after the town where their family history was written for three generations. The company is now based in Vancouver, Canada. However, establishing itself beyond the borders of its home state (and continent) was no problem at all.

How did it win over its die-hard fans? Looking at Herschel backpacks, the answer is clear. Their individuality, as well as their functionality and timelessness, gives them a magical power – to satisfy your purely practical, as well as aesthetic needs every time you throw this stylish urban backpack on your back.

Are Herschel backpacks for women or men?

Herschel urban backpacks excel in their versatility. Most models are produced in shades and patterns among which both women and men will find their favorites. Whether softer or darker, the color compositions are always perfectly matched and effectively highlight the simple lines of Herschel backpacks. Everything is complemented by small but essential details that make these backpacks a real feast for the eyes.

However, the enthusiasm doesn't come only at first glance, but also after closer inspection. Quality material, often complemented by leather elements, promises long life and color fastness. The interior is also carefully crafted, designed to be simple yet practical. The icing on the cake is the comfortable shoulder straps that will relieve you of the weight of everyday worries. Your steps will be lighter and more joyful.

Most popular Herschel backpack models

In our offer, you will find several models in two variants, one of which bears the label "Light". This lightweight version is made of a softer, more flexible material, and its color design is usually more subtle as well.

At first glance, you will surely be captivated by the iconic Herschel Little America backpack. Its design with a retro touch and practical features in the form of a pocket for a smaller laptop or a headphone port are made for the streets of a (big) city. However, it is quite possible that you will fall in love with it so much that you will occasionally take it for a walk in nature as well.

Hot on its heels is the Herschel Retreat – a stylish and comfortable city backpack that you can safely wear even with more elegant outfits. Similar to the Little America model, it features easy-to-use magnetic closures with decorative buckles, which gives these backpacks just the right flair.

If you prefer more classic shapes, reach for the Herschel Settlement backpack. One large and one small pocket will hold your daily essentials and give you the comfort of classic backpacks without necessarily looking like a mountaineer or an overgrown first-grader.

And finally, something for tidy travelers – the spacious bag Herschel Bowen offers plenty of pockets and compartments in a stylish "Herschel" coat. You can enjoy the benefits typical of this brand in a form other than just on your back.
