FAQs
Is this Herschel backpack waterproof?
The Herschel Classic Backpack is made from durable polyester EcoSystem fabric, which offers good water resistance against light rain or splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and sensitive items should be protected in very wet conditions.
What size laptop can fit in the floating laptop sleeve?
The floating laptop sleeve is designed for common laptop sizes. Info needed: [Please refer to the product specifications for exact maximum laptop dimensions. Generally fits most 13-15 inch laptops comfortably.]
How do I clean my Herschel Classic Backpack?
We recommend spot cleaning your backpack with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Gently rub the affected area and then air dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does 'EcoSystem Fabric' mean?
EcoSystem Fabric, used for both the exterior and interior liner, means the materials are made from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles. This makes the backpack a more sustainable choice.
Can this backpack be used for travel?
Yes, its versatile design and comfortable straps make it suitable for day trips, carry-on for short flights, or as a personal item for light travel. The floating laptop sleeve is also beneficial for protecting electronics on the go.
Does it have external pockets for a water bottle?
Yes, the Herschel Classic Backpack features a dedicated side pocket specifically designed to hold a water bottle for easy access.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or uneven.
Adjust the strap length evenly on both sides while wearing the backpack, ensuring it sits high and snug on your back. Distribute the weight of your contents evenly within the main compartment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Gently clean any debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush (like a toothbrush). For persistent sticking, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, graphite (from a pencil), or candle wax to the teeth and then work the zipper back and forth.
Backpack appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean the affected area using a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently blot and wipe without scrubbing aggressively. Ensure the backpack is fully air-dried before storing or using.
Water bottle slips out of the side pocket easily.
Ensure you are using a standard-sized water bottle that fits snugly in the elasticized pocket. If the pocket has stretched over time, consider using a slightly wider bottle or an internal bottle sleeve for extra security.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Herschel Classic Backpack:
- Spot Cleaning: For most dirt and stains, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Gently blot and wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the fabric.
- Interior Cleaning: For the interior, turn the liner inside out if possible or wipe down with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry the backpack completely. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use a blow dryer, as extreme heat can damage the EcoSystem fabric and components.
- Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or chemical cleaners, as these can cause discoloration and material degradation.
- Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material breakdown.
