Herschel Supply Company elevates everyday carry with clean, utilitarian design and the brand’s signature striped liner. Founded in Vancouver in 2009, Herschel crafts backpacks, duffels and travel essentials that balance dependable construction, leather accents and contemporary colorways for city commuters and weekend travelers.
Why Herschel
Timeless utility, thoughtful details.
Backpacks — everyday icons
Herschel backpacks are the brand’s hallmark: clean lines, ergonomic straps and practical interiors. Expect padded laptop pockets, organization sleeves and hardwearing polyester or canvas exteriors. Colorways run from muted neutrals to seasonal prints, and thoughtful touches — like leather zipper pulls and the striped liner — make these bags as stylish for commuters as they are for students.
Duffles & travel essentials
The duffel and weekender range is built for short trips and urban travel. Options include reinforced carry handles, detachable straps and dedicated shoe or laundry pockets. Lightweight nylon and waxed canvas finishes resist daily wear, while clean silhouettes and muted tones match Herschel’s city-minded aesthetic—ideal for weekenders who want fuss-free packing with a refined look.
