Customer Reviews Herschel Supply Co. Nova Mini

if you are looking for something trendy and fashionable, this is a great bag for you. if you are looking for a mini backpack that is functional and comfortable to wear, look elsewhere. the zipper does not move easily, and the giant metal teeth will scrape your hand when you reach inside. when the bag is zipped shut, the metal zippers clang together as you walk, loud and annoying. front pocket will not fit an XL size phone. i also found the straps would not stay at the length i adjusted them to. if you need function, i recommend the fjallraven kanken mini or the dakine mini backpacks.

I wanted a cute, trendy, casual backpack that wasn't too big. And though I really like the style of this bag, the fabric is really stiff to be point of being abrasive to the skin. The straps aren't padded so you'll notice it when wearing it with sleeveless tops. Other than that it's a really cute little bag.

Cute bag- light weight and effortless! Great little bag- just wish the zipper was smoother. Front pocket will NOT fit an iPhone 8 plus :-(

This is such a cute bag! It was just impossible to get into it because the zipper was just too sticky.. It just wasn't functional. The straps were very slick - once you thought they were locked in, the fabric made them slide out of position. So disappointed because it really was a great size!

After having Herschel brand cosmetics bag for a few years I wanted a mini backpack with the same durability and style. In the mini I can fit my phone, wallet, sunglass case, cosmetics bag and keys. It’s perfect for small items - if you are looking to put clothing in it, pass on this bag. The other reviews are correct with saying it is stiff - it will continue to get softer with wear without losing its shape. The zippers are stickier than others but they are good quality and will not slide open.

I love this except for the zipper which isn't smooth. I got the color pine bark which is a taupe color and a quilted smooth fabric. it is comfortable but hard to get into the zipper which is a constant annoyance.

I love the design of this backpack. It’s so cute. I just wish it fit my iPad Air 2. I also wish it had a zip pocket on the inside. Other than that it’s perfect. It’s carries all my daily essentials. I bought it in a blush pink color. I also wish it was a little less expensive maybe $30 not $50.

The quality of this bag is absolutely amazing!! It’s very structured & sturdy plus it is very cute! Although it is a mini backpack, it can hold all my essentials & necessities and still look structured, no sagging whatsoever! The zippers however aren’t the smoothest.. I have to be a bit forceful to open & close but to me, it’s a very minor flaw. The color is gorgeous & looks exactly like the pictures advertised! I give this bag a 10/10!

I got the clear one for work and get compliments wherever I go.

Backpack is great with amazing quality. Havent tried the backpack for long periods of time or with a lot of stuff inside so not too positive about the comfort. But I have had no issues using it. I would purchase again

Beautiful color, perfect size and functionality is just right. Delivery was fast! Thank you zappos

I love everything about this bag so much, the color is beautiful, the size is perfect and the functionality is just right. And the same goes for the second bag I purchased together with this one in the quail crosshatch color.

Perfect size for everything you need. Has a extra pocket inside to keep things separated

This mini backpack is so much cuter in person. I got this for my 13 year old daughter and she loves it! Perfect for her to store little things she needs while out with friends.

PERFECT EVERYDAY BAG .

Great everyday bag . Bought the ashwood color!

Dope

It was exactly what my sister wanted! She loved her gift and has been wearing it everywhere. The colors are nice and bright against the black canvas. Comfortable and light. Overall a great little backpack.

Love my bag, it’s cute comfy, and perfect for fall and summer

I like this bag because it is small and clear which is good for security purposes at work and security doent have to rumble all thru me stuff. The bag is made sturdy and feels like it will last a long time. The structure of the zippers is good to.

it’s a mini backpack which i think is perfect for everyday. i mostly just use it for trips like to amusement parks or when i’ll be out for a while & it fits everything i need! great for traveling too as your small item

I have been eyeing these bags in the quilted design for months and seen on amazon the plum and olive were on sale shipped from Zappos. I bought the plum color and it’s the most gorgeous burgundy color! I had a few on the Kanken minis but sold them as they were too short for me as a backpack and were too bulky. These are way better quality and fit me perfectly. The mini size is the perfect size as a purse backpack. It’s excellent quality. I love the quilted design. I would pay full price of $65 for it but glad I got mine at a little bit of discount. Will be buying the rest of the colors of the quilted design for sure! Highly recommend. !

I gifted this small backpack to my 13 year old niece for her birthday and she liked it. It serves her as a purse that’s easier to carry. It’s small in size but it can carry her small belongings. It is obviously not for big books. The quality looks great and the zipper is sturdy. Overall, good for her small everyday essentials.

The pattern is very nice looking and colorful. Sturdy, but too small for women. It's more child like.

This backpack is really cute however, the straps are thick and stiff. The zipper is also hard to close. I think that once you break it in, this backpack would be easier to wear.
