The Pop Quiz Backpack is praised for its stylish design, beautiful color, and well-organized pockets. However, customers have mixed opinions about its material, size, and smell. The quality and comfort of the straps are also points of contention.

"Wasn’t what I wanted, so I ordered another one from you, then you charged me return postage when your policy states if I’m replacing it with another one of your products I don’t need to pay for the return Take more than one day to get a response on an email and you have become another company with no humans to speak to. I won’t be buying from you again"
"I have been using a similar Herschel backpack with a laptop compartment since 2020, and I was very satisfied with it. That is why I decided to order a new one. Unfortunately, I have to say that the overall quality of the new product has significantly decreased, even though the price has not been reduced. In the backpack I bought in 2020, both the sunglasses compartment and the laptop compartment were made of a soft, velvet-like material. The laptop compartment was also padded and felt protective, premium, and high quality. In the new product, however, the material used in these sections feels much cheaper and almost plastic-like. It does not give the same protective or premium feeling as the older version. I also noticed that the zippers feel lower in quality compared to my previous backpack. While the design is still nice, the overall material quality is clearly not on the same level as before. I fully respect sustainability efforts and appreciate brands trying to use more sustainable materials. However, I do not think it is right to reduce the quality of a product under the motto of sustainability, especially when the price remains the same. You can also see the photos of the backpack I purchased in 2020 attached for comparison. Overall, as a long-time Herschel customer, I am disappointed with the quality difference between the older and newer versions of this backpack."
"Quality of this backpack has definitely gone down from the first one I purchased many years ago."
"My teen daughter loves it, looks sturdy and well made, it’ll last her way beyond the year we usually use it for. It’s for her junior year in high school and has enough space for her things and sleeve for her backpack"
"Overall the backpack is good but I expected it to be a little bit bigger especially when I told the clerk what I intended to use it for. The only improvement that I feel is needed is the backpack doesn't stand on its own very well. It usually tends to tilt to the front. . . . sometimes I adjust it then it kind of stands on its own but most of the time it doesn't"
"The small pouch at top used to have a soft felt lining great for holding glasses/sunglasses. Also the laptop section in the previous model had the same soft felt lining whereas this newer design doesnt. Otherwise the pop quiz is a great backpack. I especially like the limited design I got. Sturdy zippers. However this one is replacing an older pop quiz i have that was otherwise fine except for the zipper on the front most pocket (the one with the patch on it) wore out and wouldn't open/shut anymore. Otherwise the backpack was fine so it kind of stinks to have to replace the whole thing. But I got a cool design and it was on sale."
"I already have one of these and I like it so much I bought another for travelling. They're very functional (plenty of space and separate compartments) but also smart-looking, so the backpack doesn't look out of place if you're in a nice place."
"The zippers are not easy to use."
"I miss the older bag. It had fabric to prevent scratches in the sunglasses pocket and laptop pocket. This new bag offered none of that."
"I love my new backpack. 🎒"
