Great backpack with awesome details!
The Little America backpack is a great medium sized backpack to get around town or travel with. I purchased this for my husband in preparation for a two week trip we will be taking to Europe this summer. I wanted to get him something that was attractive and unique without sacrificing on quality or durability. It can easily hold a jacket, a laptop, magazines & books, a picnic lunch, a camera, etc. The size of the main compartment is perfect for holding anything you would need during the day, and it has a nice fleece lined laptop sleeve to separate your computer from other items that could damage it. We are going to be traveling with larger luggage, so a full sized travel backpack was unnecessary, but this bag is perfect for getting around the city or countryside with while we are away from our hotel. I like how you can only access the main compartment from the top. As long and you have it cinched down, a pickpocket is going to have a tough time gaining access. It also is very comfortable and the padding on the shoulder straps makes carrying heavier items easier. Even though we purchased this for our trip, I am certain we will continue to use it once we are back home. It is great for carrying items while biking, hiking, or going to the beach and we even have some friends who use their Herschel as a diaper bag! There really isn't another backpack on the market that is as well constructed or that looks as nice as the Little America.

Little too big
This backpack was a little too big for my liking. I am a 5'7" women and when I first tried the bag on it looked absolutely gigantic on my back. I still loved the look and build of the bag though so that is why I purchased the mid volume little america next. The mid volume was a way better size and a love it! For those looking for a smaller size of this bag I highly recommend the mid volume :).

Fabulous!
A grown-up backpack. Bought for my stepdaughter who is a junior/senior in college. She's ready to start looking more professional on and off campus, so this was perfect for her. She picked it out, actually, and the major selling-point (besides how pretty is is!) is that it includes a sleeve for her laptop. Lots of color choices, but she picked the all-black one. Love love love!

Thin Backpack
I’ve been on a hunt for a cute backpack that I could take with me while traveling for work that can fit my laptop and a change of clothes, small bag of toiletries, a water bottle and snacks. This was really cute- I really like the pattern, however the backpack doesn’t allow you to stuff a lot of things unless they are tightly packed. I could fit my laptop, a small packing cube and a smaller toiletries bag, and that’s it. I think this would be perfect for carrying flat school supplies only, i.e a laptop, note book and binder... but it you wanted to stuff a sweater in there in it too wouldn’t fit unless to folded it up and slid it in.
