Herschel Classic™ Backpack XL

This is my second year buying backpacks for my children's school year. I wasn't going to actually purchase new bags since the ones from last year held up so well, but they insisted. The old bags are now my go-to travel carry-on bags. They wash well, don't fade, and have survived a year of school and a summer at camp.

I bought one of these backpacks when I was going into my freshman year of high school and it lasted until I graduated! it just had a few wear marks where my binder sat in the back but that was about it. Since the zipper pull had fallen off, I was able to get a new one for about 75% off and used that coupon to get another one for college! If you are looking for a long lasting, basic backpack this is the one for you! The price might be steep for some, but it is cheaper than having to buy a new backpack each school year!
