AI Generated Review Summary
The Herschel Retreat Small Backpack is praised for its perfect size, high-quality design, and durability. While some customers appreciate its classic style and sleek look, others find it too modern. The color options are well-received, though there is a desire for more pockets, particularly a zippered large inside pocket. The straps have mixed reviews, with some finding them uncomfortable.

Reviews
Stylish and well made but not practical
"Stylish and well-made, but the practicality falls short. Top-only access paired with a fiddly drawstring makes getting into the bag more effort than it should be, and a single interior divider leaves little room for organisation — one or two more, ideally zipped, would make a real difference."

Close to perfection for a 13" Macbook Air
"The colour of the bag is fantastic. The canvas is lovely, the leather and buckles all beautifully made. My old 'Pop Quiz' Herschel had a much more robust, felt lined laptop sleeve. This new design (and indeed the new Pop Quiz design, uses a less padded, simple inner sleeve. I would love to see these with the felt lined sleeves again. That, and the black coloured drawstring that pulls the bag shut stands out so bizarrely on this white canvas bag and feels like an overlooked detail that's inconsistent with all the lovely leather and tan. Otherwise, this is a perfect smaller sized bag for a 13" Macbook Air, charger and bits, and I love the side pocket for a water bottle, and overall it looks and feels like the quality we expect from Herschel. Super happy with it, those two minor details aside."
