FAQs
Is this backpack waterproof?
The backpack is made from polyester, which offers good water resistance against light rain or splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for submersion or heavy downpours.
What size laptop can this backpack hold?
The internal padded sleeve is designed to securely hold laptops up to 13-14 inches.
How do I clean my Herschel Classic Backpack?
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap for dirt or stains. Allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, this Classic Backpack is made with Herschel's EcoSystem™ fabrics, which are 100% recycled from post-consumer water bottles.
Can I use this backpack for travel?
Yes, its spacious main compartment and comfortable straps make it suitable for day trips, as a personal item for flights, or general travel where you need to carry essentials.
Does it have a chest strap or waist strap?
The Herschel Supply Co Classic Backpack features adjustable padded shoulder straps but does not include a chest or waist strap for additional support.
Troubleshooting
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to pull
Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, rub a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or zipper lubricant along the teeth.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or slip
Adjust both straps evenly until the backpack sits high on your back, with the bottom resting around your waistline. Ensure the padding is flush against your shoulders. If slipping, tighten slightly.
Laptop doesn't fit in the sleeve
Verify your laptop's screen size and external dimensions. The sleeve is designed for 13-14 inch laptops. Larger devices may not fit. Do not force the laptop into the sleeve as this can cause damage.
Backpack material looks dirty or faded
Perform spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For general cleaning, wipe down the entire surface. Avoid machine washing or using strong detergents which can degrade the recycled EcoSystem™ fabric and color.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your backpack:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Air Dry: After cleaning, allow the backpack to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat, as this can damage the fabric.
- Avoid Overloading: While durable, consistently overloading the backpack beyond its intended capacity can strain zippers and seams.
- Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
