This was my first time purchasing a Herschel Backpack in a few years. The bag looks good but the quality has taking a step back. I was disappointed that the Classic Backpack did not have the Candy Cane Stripes like the previous two bags I owned. So, this will be my last Herschel I will ever purchase unless I find an old school version with the Candy Cane stripes on the inside.
I bought this to replace my prior bought a few years ago and, like other reviewers have mentioned, the quality is not as good. The fabric and construction are not as sturdy, features missing such as an extra pocket and hook hanger. I will miss those, but will probably buy again. Especially when there are sales, it's still good value for the price.
