HerschelRetreat Backpack

Good to have one

Thought I would fork out a little and buy myself a Herschel, after my last cheapo bag had expired. Seen them around on many a back in town. Was a little bigger than I had imagined, more of a serious hiker's rucksack butrs available. great for my gym kit and some business stuff. But a great range of fabric textures and colours available.

This bag is a really lovely bit of luggage for a casual weekend away! It is easy to cram a washbag, a laptop and clothes in for a couple of nights away!. There is not a way to secure the bag with a lock so not something I can use on a daily basis as I carry my laptop everywhere but love it non the less!

A new backpack for my teenage girl. She is very satisfied with this backpack. Her school only allows black or grey bags. This bag is black but has the leather-looking pvc straps that gives a slight touch that makes it different from plain black or grey bags. And when you lift the flap, the red stripes and velvety inside give feminine character to the bag. The straps are padded and comfortable so it is suitable to be used to carry school books. Absolutely gorgeous!

Love the backpack the onky issue is that they must create more pocket, to find an item inside all the time is like win the lottery!

Good quality material and tough inner pouch for tablet or laptop. However, it is more fashionable than useful as lacks inner pockets for wallet, keys, outer pockets for water, etc. The one small inner pocket to side is too small for a phone but ok for pens. I bulldog clipped a flat zipped purse to laptop pouch for train, oyster cards.
