The Cormack brothers grew up in a small town–Herschel– in Saskatchewan. Symbolizing to them a place of creative freedom and no boundaries, they decided to name the company after their small town–Herschel Supply Co. was founded in 2009. The brothers set out to create backpacks that combined classic aesthetic with modern functionality. We believe they accomplished just that.
Their backpacks marry vintage-inspired designs with thoughtful features, making them a favorite of students and adventurers alike. I absolutely adore my Herschel backpack. I’ve had my backpack since I started college, two and a half years ago, and it has yet to let me down. I should also note Herschel Supply Co. does not just sell backpacks. Among other things, they sell laptop cases, travel luggage, duffel bags, totes, etc. . .
Its vintage style suits both guys and girls and its functionality is top notch–built in pouches inside the backpack and useful pockets outside, that do not look bulky or ruin the design of the backpack. I’ve spilled things all over my backpack (even inside of it…somehow I manage to make a mess of everything) and it comes clean every single time. I’ve roughly lugged it in and out of classrooms, taken it on road trips, just really used it, and it is still going strong. No signs of wear and tear whatsoever. Even if something was wrong with my Herschel backpack, though, I wouldn’t have to worry. Herschel guarantees that every Herschel Supply item is free of material and manufacturing defects. “This warranty is valid for the duration of the original purchaser’s lifetime, beginning on the date of purchase from an authorized Herschel Supply retailer. . .” While this is technically a limited lifetime warranty considering the warranty does not cover wear and tear caused by the owner, it is still a considerably exceptional warranty. If you find that your product has a material or manufacturing defect, Herschel will replace or repair the item at their discretion. This policy is different for their hard shell luggage, however.
Overall, Herschel is a win-win in our books. Herschel supply products are not only stylish and functional, but they are backed by a lifetime warranty. Whether you’re navigating the city streets, scurrying around a college campus, or simply embarking on a new adventure, Herschel has got your back.
