Review on Herschel 10014 00001 OS Little America Backpack Black Backpacks by Zach Flores

Revainrating 3 out of 5

OK, but not perfect.

Honest review from a real buyer. This is a very popular backpack in my college/grad school, but it's not as durable as many people think. The stitching on the 2 bands that integrate the leather straps came undone on their own after a few months of light use at school. Also, the backs of the leather straps are prone to accidental breaking, leaving the fronts still attached. The bag is still very aesthetic so I will sew the straps back on with the correct thread and use super glue to fix the straps. In contrast to the outside, the inside of the bag is very durable and the padding protects the laptop very well from possible falls. After the straps and strap had already snapped, I decided "what the heck” and set about washing the bag for the first time (on the machine program "cold/delicates”). Surprisingly, it washes really well in the washing machine, with no issues. The bag came out of the dryer like new. I love the way the bag looks and feels, but this company's exterior durability needs some work. I suggest adding more stitching to the ends of the straps that connect to the leather straps and coating the back of the leather straps to avoid accidentally damaging the leather.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Faulty
