Customer Reviews Herschel Supply Co. Settlement

As a college student I absolutely love this bag! It's extremely roomy and has a safe laptop compartment to slip my 15in Macbook Pro in. I bought it in red but I love this bag so much I might get it in a low-key color. I would highly recommend this bag to anyone with a laptop computer and is style-conscious.

This bag stylish, comfortable, durable, and affordable. I would prefer this backpack over any jansport or nixon bags that I have owned.

My new bag for school arrived today and it is a perfect size for my books and extras. I love the lime punch on the back panel and straps, it adds a fun pop of color without being overwhelming. The zippers are sturdy and didn't have and issues with them sticking. Overall I'm very pleased with my bag and look forward to carrying it. Thanks Zappos for the fast shipping!

I really wanted a bag for school that would fit all my books but wasn't extremely huge and this was everything I was looking for. It's pretty spacious and it's pretty good looking too.

Simple design, sturdy construction. Stussy custom print interior. 15" laptop sleeve. Great buy for the minimalistic college student.

I'm a college student and this bag is working really well for me. Slightly irritating that there's only one zipper going one way (instead of having two zippers that meet in the middle), but overall a solid bag. Note: I have a 13" laptop and it fits in the bag but my friend's 15" laptop doesn't fit. Just something to keep in mind if you have a larger laptop.

I got this backpack for my senior year of college. It's stylish and has quite a bit of room for books and notebooks without looking too bulky. I like that there is a pocket on the inside for a laptop. I have received quite a few compliments on this backpack, too.

Perfect basic backpack with style. Nice alternative from my Swiss army which had a million pockets and was really big and heavy. Zippers are slightly stiff but I wouldn't complain. Fits my 15" laptop. Is comfortable, not quite the pinkish/red it looks in pic, really just red.

I got the red on red version of this backpack and I love it. It's exactly what I wanted. Yes, the zipper is a little finicky, but I don't find it to be much of a problem.

The backpack is awesome. It's really comfy. The color is great. I'm extremely content. The little brown leather piece hanging on the smaller pocket zipper did come off, but I didn't mind.

My friend in school has a Herschel and from the moment I saw it, I wanted one. It is a cool and comfortable bag. I would like to point out that the zippers are not a pain; you just need to know not to open them roughly. Get a Herschel!!!!!

Love this bag! I was debating between ordering the Roxy long time backpack and this. They are obviously two different bags. I ended up choosing this and do not regret a thing! It is very unique and unlike the others at school. It is durable and I hope will last throughout later years. I ordered the color red. The zippers definitely pop in color, which makes it so much more stylish. I had read other reviews before ordering this and they said the zippers are a challenge. Mine, on the other had, has no problem with the zippers. The and zip and unzip very smoothly and without any problem at all. Without a doubt, this is by far the best bag I have ever ordered! Thanks!

I'm rebuying this. Bought my first Settlement bag 4 years ago and didn't notice any fraying seams until recently (which is saying something, since I use this nearly daily). This settlement bag is larger than my last one and will allow me to cram more stuff into it (not just a laptop, change of clothes, and lunch, but now also a pair of shoes or a fanny pack). I like the "Settlement" bags over the "Classic" Herschel backpacks since the zippers are easier to access (they are not tucked behind a fabric lip). Would love to see more color options but I was about to find something that worked for me this go-round. Went with the "Rubber" color, which is half-way between a mustard yellow and a brown. It's different yet still professional enough to take to work.

Great backpack but the zipper only goes one way! Needs a two way zipper for perfection please!

This is a fantastic bag, with a few drawbacks. Pros: It’s just the right size my daily use as a teacher (I regularly carry a small laptop, a 1” binder, a few books, a water bottle, and writing utensils). Classic, simple styling means I know I won’t be sick of it mid-year, especially in a neutral color like the light gray. The padded shoulder straps are nice. The front pocket holds a surprising amount - I use this for my phone/wallet/keys, which removes the need to also carry a purse. Cons: No side pocket for water bottle. Single zipper pull, which also sticks a bit. I have to zip slowly for it to open smoothly, and I’d much prefer two zipper pulls that could meet in the middle. For me, the pros outweighed the cons. I kept this and have used it happily so far this school year. I suspect based on the quality it will hold up over time.

This is a beautiful backpack. I purchased it for my middle schooler. One big issue though - no water bottle holder. For school, the outside pocket to hold a water bottle makes a big difference. That's the only flaw.

I ordered the dark camo one for commuting to work (walking). The style is on point - it's not too bright and it's kind of a more subtle dark gray camo which is exactly what I wanted - not too loud else I'd get sick of looking at it every day! It fits my very large macbook pro (15 inch) and a pair of shoes etc. if I'm working out after work. I knocked off a star for the zipper that doesn't move as smoothly as it could and I worry about it breaking though. However, the gold detail does make it super cute :)

I've only been using this a few days but it is a pretty solid backpack. It can carry my 13" laptop, a binder, a 5 subject notebook, planner, water bottle, and my glasses case, so it really can fit quite a lot without looking like a turtle shell on your back. My only complaint would be that there's only one zipper for the large opening and it is a little stiff, not a huge thing. Overall a good backpack, we'll see how long it lasts.

Love the color and style of this backpack! After a couple of months the zipper on the outside fell apart and I wasn’t able to use it anymore.

I absolutely adore this backpack. I originally purchased it for a trip to Europe (not backpacking! just wanted something in addition to my carry-on) and it was perfect. It is SO cute, and honestly could be used for unisex. My boyfriend used a bigger backpack, but this was perfect for me. There is a ton of room in the backpack, as well as a big storage pocket that would be best used for shoes/laptops, and a pocket in the front for some smaller organization. I did like that it had a built in, attached key ring clip so I could hold my suitcase key in there. The straps on the backpack were cushioned and comfortable. The only cons I would point out are that I wish it did have a few more storage pockets on the front inside of the main storage compartment. Additionally, the zippers are a little hard to work with - but if you're using the backpack on a trip like I was, I think that's actually a plus so that you don't get pick-pocketed easily! At the end of the day, yes I would recommend this. I just hope Herschel puts out another version of this size but with more pockets! :)

Great size, not too big and not too small! Haven't had a problem with the zippers yet. The only thing I would change is the laptop pocket is not very tight and has no padding, but overall a great bag.

I love the Settlement bag from Herschel Supply Co. My work is contingent on being able to reliably have everything I need at hand at a moment's notice, and with this bag, it never takes me more than a couple of seconds to have whatever I need in hand. The design is no-nonsense, composed of three separate areas for your things, keeping things uncomplicated. The only issue I experienced with the bag was one of the teeth breaking out of place, causing the bag not to close all the way. But Zappos quickly rectified the issue, and now I'm happily rocking my efficient, stylish Settlement bag on my commute every day.

Love how sleek and low profile this bag is. Made the transition from a tote for commuting and traveling for work and really prefer it. It's so easy to slide my laptop in and out and the bag has just the right amount of room that I need to keep all my stuff organized.

I received the version with the black color way with a white front pocket. Overall, the backpack looks good for school. Take note that some of the backpack version have one or two zippers for the main compartment. The zippers feel rough at first but it is starting to loosen up and I guess it's more safer if anyone has ideas of opening it. Only complaint I guess is wanting more pockets and maybe a place for my water bottle. One last thing, the pocket to hold a music player or phone is badly placed on the side inside he backpack. I fear my books and binders are going to hit it too much.

This backpack is super cute and stylish! Five stars for how it looks, love it, especially the red and white pinstripes inside. The material is decent, but could be better for this price. The back padding and laptop sleeve could be a bit thicker. The straps can get pretty uncomfortable with a heavy load, so not the best If you have to carry a lot of textbooks in it. Also, the shape of it becomes less flattering. But if you are not carrying a lot of heavy stuff, it is comfortable and still maintains its shape. My only complaint about this bag is the zipper. I have had this bag for a year and the zipper does not work anymore. Rain and humidity ruins it really quickly.
