Herschel is one of my favorite new companies. My boyfriend ended up loving the navy blue collection, so I purchase the backpack, overnight duffle bag and the traveler kit. The backpack is big enough to fit a laptop in the padded sleeve, books and anything else you need to put inside...it has a big carrying capacity. It also has a red and white pinstriped interior which gives it a nice pop when you open up the bag. It has held up nicely to almost daily use and we don't plan on buying another bag or backpack from another company. Definitely worth the price!
