FAQs

Is the Herschel Supply Co Classic Backpack waterproof?

While made from durable recycled polyester, this backpack is not explicitly designed to be waterproof. It offers some resistance to light moisture, but for heavy rain, we recommend using a rain cover or a waterproof bag for sensitive items inside.

What size laptop can this backpack hold?

The internal padded sleeve is designed to securely fit most 13-inch and 14-inch laptops.

How do I clean my Herschel Classic Backpack?

We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Gently rub the affected area and allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What are the dimensions of the backpack?

The dimensions are approximately 16.50 inches (Height) x 12.00 inches (Width) x 6.00 inches (Depth).

Is this backpack suitable for air travel?

Yes, its compact size makes it suitable as a personal item or carry-on for most airlines, perfect for day trips or carrying essentials on a flight. Always check specific airline requirements.

Does it have a water bottle pocket?

Yes, it features a convenient external water bottle pocket to keep your hydration easily accessible.

What does 'EcoSystem Recycled Fabric' mean?

It means the backpack's fabric, including its liner, is made from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or slip.

Adjust both shoulder straps to ensure even weight distribution. The backpack should sit snugly against your back. Ensure items are distributed evenly inside the backpack, placing heavier items closer to your back.

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to close/open.

Check if any fabric or thread is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully pull the fabric away. If the zipper is dry, you can try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant, wax, or even a pencil lead along the teeth to help it move smoothly.

Backpack appears dirty or stained.

Spot clean the affected area using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently blot and wipe the stain. Avoid submerging the backpack in water or using harsh cleaning agents. Air dry completely.

Laptop does not fit in the dedicated sleeve.

Verify your laptop's screen size. The sleeve is designed for 13-inch to 14-inch laptops. If your laptop is larger, it may not fit. For smaller laptops, consider using an additional padded sleeve for a more secure fit within the main compartment.

Strong odor inside the backpack.

Empty the backpack completely and leave it open in a well-ventilated area for a few days to air out. You can also place a sachet of baking soda or activated charcoal inside to absorb odors.

Care

To maintain the quality and appearance of your Herschel Supply Co Classic Backpack:

  1. Spot Clean Only: For minor dirt or stains, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Gently rub the affected area.
