Drawstring Mini Backpack

A cute, very nicely sized daypack, apt as a low-footprint work backpack. (I use it for bringing daily lunch and work iPad) The quality of the straps is the main issue.

It’s very small ☹️

Overall a cute bag but the straps are terrible and surprising. I have loved all of my other Herschel items but the color of the leopard print is weird and not very pleasant and the straps are dollar tree straps. Hopefully it holds up. If the straps were even a bit higher quality I would be 100% satisfied with this purchase.

I needed something simple to just grab and fit a couple snacks. Just what I was looking for.

I absolutely love the backpack I have recently gotten. Great design, color, and size.

Wife loved the size color and features for use on day shopping trips. Only drawback is the front pouch seemingly could have been designed to hold a cellphone. That would add a 5 star rating.

It looks cute but I am disappointed with the straps. It is NOT PADDED. I did not expect this from herschel! Not worth the price. If only I can return this.

I bought this for back to school. I like how the design/color is. Just the right amount of pockets for a mini bag. Feels very durable and easy to adjust latches.

Perfect size. Nice design. Seems like it is good quality.

This Backpack has everything that you need. It’s perfect as a travel backpack or a daily backpack. Super comfortable to wear all day long.

I ordered a mineral burst color, it looks gorgeous. However, a backpack that is designed for a day on the go, should exterior pockets for water bottles a must? I assume there must be pockets and was so surprised to find out none. Very disappointed.

The drawstring closure on these mini retreat bags is an odd design. Instead of the toggle with the button you depress to pull it out/in to open/close the bag, you have a fabric loop attached to a similar mechanism that you pull down on to release tension on the toggle to open the bag. It’s hard to explain, you definitely have to see it. It’s anchored to the seam where the drawstring channels are attached. I can see this ripping out over time if the toggle stays as stiff as it is now brand new. It’s a lot of tension on the seam. I’m not sure why they went with this design. It feels more secure for a drawstring, but I’m going to have to leave it open a little at all times in order to gain quick access to my wallet if I’m shopping with my kids.

Don’t waste your money, there are so many backpacks of equal quality, similar size, and better storage in this price range. So I’m a big fan of mini backpacks in the 11-7 liter range so I thought that I would love this backpack. Unfortunately, there’s only one internal compartment and a very small front compartment. I couldn’t fit a pencil, an eraser, and a lipgloss in there. So either I would have to buy tiny bags to put my stuff in which is ridiculous or I’d have to deal with all my things strewn about in the main compartment which would lead to chargers getting tangled and my kindle being scratched among other things. The only internal compartment itself isn’t useful at all, I’d only recommend it for storing flat objects otherwise it will bulge. I was so disappointed and since returns shipping is quite expensive I was even more disappointed. The bag is good quality and a good size, but I would feel less cheated if I had just thrown my money about instead.

My gf loved it. Personally I think maybe these bags could use a more secure closure because anyone quick enough can lift the flaps and snatch a tablet from the bag, but like I said she loves it! So thank you guys
