Here's the thing. I love Herschel backpacks, and I've had several throughout my high school and college years. However, the "Herschel" backpack I received from Amazon was less than satisfactory. The zippers are not of quality, the leather strap on the zipper actually fell off within 2 days of usage. I know about Herschel counterfeits because I've seen many of them on sale around my area; and the characteristics of them are:
1) weird zippers, you can tell it's bad quality-- does not zip properly and smoothly. the zippers also have a very bad stamping of the logo, looked really different at the one i went to see at a retail store.
2) i don't know how to describe it, but the backpack is awkward. the straps on the padding is awkward, and it rises a bit from my shoulders, giving it that teenage mutant turtle ninjas kinda look.
3) the HERSCHEL TAG ON THE BACKPACK IS PEELING. (??) like what?
i'm only keeping this backpack because i am in dire need for one ASAP, but if not, I would be skeptical about buying Herschel backpacks from Amazon. I even went to my closest Urban Outfitters to compare the quality between the one I received and the ones at retail, and alas, confirmed my suspicions.
TLDR; i think this backpack is fake and i would love for Amazon to prove that it's not. everything is just so different from the backpacks I compared this with at retail stores. I should've just bought this backpack when it was on sale at Nordstroms.

seemed pretty sturdy for a backpack... until the zippers broke.
