Students need at least two Herschel Supply products to be prepared for school. For the general items, a backpack or messenger bag is perfect to carry school books, note paper, pens, and their laptop. Specifically for their laptop, students must have a padded, dedicated laptop sleeve. I’ll go into more details about why I am making this claim, and then you can enter for a chance to win a pair of Herschel products so you are prepared when the school season begins.
School can be brutal on laptops and books
How many backpacks have you bought over the years? I have bought many … too many to count in fact. Some years, I’ve had to buy several after a backpack was damaged by weather or something. I remember a friend told me they forgot their child’s backpack on the roof once: it didn’t survive getting batted around when it fell onto the highway!
My children are done school now, but my wife is still in school, as a teacher, so I’m still buying backpacks—for her! And her favourite brand is Herschel. Trust me: she has tried many. She loves the style, the versatility, and the comfort carrying her Herschel backpack: from our island home, onto the ferry, on the train into Vancouver and back, her books and tech are protected. She also uses a Herschel sleeve to protect her laptop. She says, “I’d be lost if my laptop broke … all my lessons and notes and assignments are on there.” Yes she backs up her data, but a broken laptop would seriously set her back.
I hope some of your can relate to my wife’s situation. Students, teachers, and many others rely on Herschel products … and for good reasons.
Herschel multipurpose bags perform an essential service
Every student needs a backpack or messenger bag. In an era where textbooks are only a portion of a student’s learning arsenal, these bags offer expansive storage space for various items, from notebooks and tablets to calculators, water bottles, and lunch boxes. Herschel bags, with their multiple compartments, promote organization and ease of access, reducing the stress of misplaced items and keeping the learning process streamlined and efficient.
Herschel’s multipurpose bags are renowned for their robustness and longevity, crafted from high-quality materials that withstand daily wear and tear. Their ergonomic design ensures comfort, a critical feature considering the amount of time students spend carrying their bags around. Additionally, Herschel bags come in an array of trendy designs and colours, allowing students to express their individual style while maintaining practical functionality.
Herschel laptop sleeves play a crucial role in your life
Every student has a laptop and on that laptop is the entirety of their student life: protection is of utmost importance. As I said above, my wife backs up her data: I bet most students don’t! Herschel laptop sleeves are crafted to offer maximum protection, with protective padding that shields laptops from physical shocks and damages. Water-resistant properties offer protection against accidental spills, a common occurrence in student life.
Along with providing protection, Herschel laptop sleeves add an extra layer of convenience. Lightweight and slim, they’re easy to carry around and can be effortlessly slipped into Herschel backpacks or messenger bags. This ensures that students’ laptops are always accessible whenever needed.
I firmly believe a student needs both of these items: a multipurpose bag and a laptop sleeve. That is why this contest is giving away both to each winner … and there are going to be three winners! Follow the instructions carefully so you have the best chance to win.

I’m thinking of superballs; well that’s what I call those little balls of rubber that bounce so very well and high. Somehow they always escape the bag, end up at the desk, then end up bouncing off the ceiling tiles and lights, and other students leading to some excitement and a somber walk to you know where….
family pets- too tangly

Children should never try to bring their pet to school in their backpack
Kids shouldn’t bring ants to school. In 6th grade I volunteered to help watch the kindergartens at lunch. One little boy took a ziplock bag of ants out of his backpack and dumped them on the floor. It was horrifying. Ants crawling everywhere, children screaming. I never volunteered to supervise again. Thankfully my own daughter has never brought anything worse than some toys to school.
Kids shouldn’t bring their new pet to school in a backpack. No kittens or puppies!
A rotten banana that was left in the bottom of your bag from the end of last school year!
Very smelly!
Pens exploding in the bags, best wishes
Herschel Supply Classics XL backpack because I’m going back to school in the fall and because it’s enormous, lightweight, roomy, and contains pretty much zero interior organizers so I can stuff as much into the bag as possible!
The most unusual thing I kept in my backpack was putty. I don’t really know why I keep this in my backpack. I just use it to play with during my free time.
