Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Ensure both straps are adjusted to an equal length and that the backpack sits high on your back, not sagging. Distribute the weight of contents evenly inside the backpack. If consistently overloaded, consider reducing contents.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, wax (like a candle stub or chapstick), or even a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Stain or dirt on the backpack's exterior.
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Gently rub the stain in a circular motion, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Laptop doesn't fit in the sleeve.
Verify your laptop's size. The sleeve is designed for 13-inch and 14-inch laptops. Larger laptops may not fit. Ensure there are no bulky items pushing against the sleeve from inside the main compartment.
Backpack smells musty or unpleasant.
Empty the backpack completely. Turn it inside out if possible, and air it out in a well-ventilated area for several hours or overnight. For persistent odors, sprinkle baking soda inside, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it out.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Herschel Classic Backpack, follow these care instructions:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains or dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry the backpack completely after cleaning. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct heat, as this can shrink or damage the polyester material.
- Storage: When not in use, store your backpack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Avoiding Overloading: While durable, consistently overloading the backpack beyond its intended capacity can strain zippers and seams over time.
- Zipper Maintenance: If zippers become stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help them glide smoothly.
