Perfect for my needs.
Love this backpack! The measurements were definitely not correct tho, that’s why i knocked off a star. This was supposed to be 14.75” tall, it’s not. But i can work with that. However some people can’t and it needs to be accurate.I wanted a “plain” backpack that was nice looking but not to blingy. I love pastel pink and purple. They didn’t have a pastel purple, so pink it was. I’m not 12 so i wanted something that looked feminine but didn’t make me look like a wannabe tween with some crazy design. The color and quality make it stand out, i didn’t need bedazzle to overdo it like most women’s backpacks do. Love the colors. Hopefully Herschel hears my cries for a lavender color and I’ll invest in another bag!! The zipper is the BEST part. It’s a quality, solid metal zipper! Not a flimsy plastic zipper.The canvas material is very sturdy. The inside seems well sewn. It fits my 13.5” MacBook and my 12.9” iPad with cases on them. The front pocket fits my laptop charger and my graphing calculator. I’m very impressed for the price point. I’ll have to come back after several months of use to update on the wear and tear of it. Me and my HarleyQuill (my Hedgie) approve lol.

Lining bled through outside fabric
My daughter loved this cute backpack until it got wet and the red lining bleed through and stained the outside. I can’t return to Amazon sadly. Waste of money now. Amazon and Herschel should re-evaluate their policy.

Cute but not practical
I love Herschel and the color of this backpack is absolutely gorgeous!! I didn't have any issues with the quality of the backpack. Came well packaged by Zappos, who is always reliable with top customer service.Guys, I wanted to love this backpack so badly but you really need to be aware of exactly HOW "mini" this backpack is. While the extra mini size is cute, it's not practical. I thought it would be fine for a regular day out in the city but the lack of space and compartmentation was more of an inconvenience than it was worth :/ But if you're perfectly fine with a very teeny backpack, this is adorable!! Wish it came in a larger size.

Fits folders & a 5 subject notebook + Laptop perfectly
I’ve always thought the Sydney, Settlement, and Heritage bag were way too big for me. This one is still the same height but the curve at the top makes it appear snug and much smaller.It fits my folders (without folding the edges), 5 subject thick notebook, and my laptop 13” perfectly with more room available.But my 21oz hydro flask doesn’t fit on the side. This bag will only be an issue if you carry on the heavy side since it doesn’t have shoulder padding.UPDATE:On days I want to carry a lot... this bag kills my shoulder. I only carried my macbook+charger+pencilcase and your typical bag essentials and it just dug into my shoulder. The zipper is sharp and louder than the usual. It's super cute and functional but do not buy this if you need to carry heavy stuff. I'm switching back to my Sydney Herschel bag with padding. I wish they remade this bag but with shoulder padding.

Great backpack
Love this mini backpack. I initially ordered the small, but that was too big so I exchanged it for the mini. Because of the pandemic, I have been doing more walking and need something to hold my wallet, face masks, hand sanitizer, wipes, sunglasses, phone and small water bottle. This mini backyard does this perfectly. The fanny pack is too small for all this. Love the color and fabric. Zippers are strong and durable. Very pleased with purchase.

Great, Slim Backpack
I love this backpack! I was sick of my tote bag always falling off my shoulder. I have a couple plain Jansports from college, but I wanted something a little more elevated in looks for my corporate office. And this is definitely perfect. The weathered gray is also great for hiding dirt/salt if any gets on it. And I love the streamlined/slim style to the bag with the double handle on top. The only thing I'm not overly in love with is the zippers. I love that they're gold, but they're a little rough on my hands and don't always open or close smoothly. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with this purchase!

Cute - Missing Functional Necessities
The bag is plenty visually pleasing but otherwise, it falls a bit short. I was expecting padding on the shoulder straps and for the zipper to slide with more ease. The zipper is choppy and when I fill the backpack with a full day of supplies, it does jut into my shoulder.Overall, I would only use this backpack for lighter needs and on shorter days. Thankfully, I was looking for a backpack to carry my study materials to and from the car and studying spots. I would not recommend this backpack for students who carry their backpacks for a significant amount of time (college, high school, etc).

Good Backpack, But the Color...Ugh
Herschel makes a sturdy, well-designed backpack. The Nova Mini is a good substitute for an everyday handbag when you want to keep it really casual. Unfortunately I knew I had to return this backpack as soon as I opened the Amazon package, because the Ash Rose color doesn't look pink at all. It's almost like a grayish lavender. I didn't even take the backpack out of the plastic wrap, I just sealed up the package and returned it. So disappointed because the backpack itself is cute. I wish it came in a larger variety of colors.

Good quality tardis-like rucksack
I’ve only had this a few weeks but so far, so good. It has the quality you’d expect from the brand. The most surprising thing is how much it can hold - I originally thought it may be too small to get all my work (and occasionally overnight) stuff in, but that’s just not the case. I fit a laptop, charger, notebook, book, water bottle, change of clothes and toiletries in this with only a little bit of careful packing needed. Comfy to carry too.Only thing I would change is for it to have a couple of small compartments inside to make it easier to find small things

Great high school bag
Wanted to find the perfect bag for daughter starting High School. This is great, roomy, looks good but not too flash, sturdy & comfortable. Bit pricey but worth it.

Disappointed
Zips were really rough and felt like they were stuck when pulling. Material is really rough. Item arrived with stitches loose. Customer service was non existent. Ended up spending ,£15 of own money to return item as it was from America. Never again!

Cheap
I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s poorly made, has cheap zips that get stuck a lot and the straps aren’t supportive at all. Definitely not worth the money.
