my younger brother has a makr rucksack; a few days ago I showed him that one and said "yo it's basically the same thing" and we both laughed. so that sort of tells you what my opinion is.

The way popular items are perceived (by snobs like me) varies geographically because the level of popularity also varies. Herschel is extremely popular in my city. They've got their own store on Queen Street, and they're carried everywhere else anyway. You can't take two steps without seeing one. It's worse because I'm a university student, so I'm always surrounded by broke university students who decided on Herschel because it's super indie and hipster (which matters a lot to first year college students). This influences the way I feel about the brand, I have to admit. I suspect it's bigger in North America than Europe, but I don't know.

The shapes of their backpacks also look a little off to me. But they're not inherently ugly, they're just... When you have a specific idea in mind of the backpacks they're imitating, they look like a cheap imitation. Also, calling yourself "supply co." and making your stuff in China is kind of... lame.

If you save up for a new one, do lots of research. With great budget comes great responsibility

(and great reward)

My resource for backpacks, and everything else, is just having a couple of folders on my bookmarks bar stuffed with webstores that I found by looking up stockists for brands that I found by looking through webstores.

And lastly the navy. Man, these backpacks. If they weren't 450 I'd get one.

I like the color of the leather on this one.
