herschel

I'm back from my trip to Vancouver and I have to say the city is truly stunningly beautiful.  I'm organizing my thoughts (and the few photos I managed to take) for more posts next week, but wanted to start sharing with you some of my big discoveries.  Like local backpack company Herschel Supply Co. Brand.  I've seen their goods online and always been intrigued, but in person you can see how really special they are.  Built super solid and sturdy, they are also ridiculously comfortable on, and beautifully designed. 

Usually when a lookbook is this tastefully done it tells you something about the brand ethos, and Herschel is no exception.  Way to make a utilitarian backpack sexy and totally covetable!

Husband and I both fell in love with these:

They both have lusciously padded straps and hug your back like they were made for you and you alone.  Also attractive is the 15" laptop sleeve built into the body.  We didn't spring for one when we were there, but we can think about it for a while since they're available online.  The Little America is definitely going on my wishlist.
