The Herschel Supply Co. Little America backpack takes its cues from vintage mountaineering rucksacks of decades past, translating that rugged silhouette into a refined everyday carry piece. Its rounded, structured shape and distinctive drawstring closure at the top give it an unmistakable heritage look, while the veneer-coated bottom panel adds a lived-in charm alongside genuine durability.

Customer reviews
I've used this backpack daily for over a year and it still looks great. The laptop sleeve is a lifesaver for work.
Love the look and quality, but I wish there were more pockets for organization. Still a solid purchase.
This bag has held up well through daily use, including some rain. The vegan leather accents add a nice touch.
Fits perfectly as a carry-on companion. Spacious enough for a few days' worth of essentials plus my laptop.
