Herschel Retreat Backpack Digi Leopard Black One Size 11397-05895-OS

I ordered this small backpack because I wanted something that would help carry a few of my items but would not be too big to carry around. I'm able to carry my headphones, my ereader, a portable charger, and a few other essentials. I've really enjoyed this little backpack and the convenience it brings!

Purchased for my daughter. She loves it. She plans to get a couple more in different colors highly recommend!!

Fantastic sized for daily errand trips!

Love it!!!!

I love the quality and the size of this backpack. The unique drawstring pull on top takes a little time to get used to. The little pocket in front is cute but fairly useless. Nothing is safe in there from falling out or being pickpocketed. The inside pocket isn't very helpful either as it is more of a sleeve. I wish there were a few smaller pockets inside for a cell phone and pen - and a cord for keys. Otherwise everything just falls to the bottom and you have to fish around to find anything.

I think it is the perfect size for travel! Even fits my laptop in there. It is comfortable to carry, I like the larger straps. The strap to tighten and loosen the opening though can be a bit difficult and tricky at times.

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.

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.

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.

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.
