Our take on the Herschel Supply Co. Herschel Retreat Backpack

The Herschel Retreat is a 23-liter school and commuter backpack with a flap-and-drawcord top, magnetic straps with metal pin buckles, and a padded fleece-lined 15-inch laptop sleeve. It is a heritage-style pack with a signature striped liner and a front storage sleeve, sold in one unisex size. It suits light daily carry rather than heavy loads. The listing shows a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 1,200 ratings.

Questions and answers

Is the Herschel Retreat worth it?
For a stylish 23L laptop pack at a mid-range price, yes. If you need bottle pockets or quick zip access, look at a simpler daypack instead.
Does it fit a 15-inch laptop?
Yes. The padded, fleece-lined sleeve is sized for a 15-inch laptop, and most 13- to 15-inch models slide in with room to spare.
How much does the Herschel Retreat hold?
23 liters. That covers a laptop, charger, notebook, a light layer and lunch, but not gym shoes plus a full day of textbooks.
Does it have a water bottle pocket?
No. There are no side bottle pockets, so plan to carry a bottle inside the main compartment.
How does it compare to the Herschel Little America?
The Little America is larger, around 25 liters, with a similar flap-and-drawcord design. The Retreat is the smaller, lighter option for school and daily commutes.
When is the Herschel Retreat cheapest?
Back-to-school season and end-of-year sales are the usual times for discounts. Watch the price history to see whether the current listing is near its low.
