Cooler-than-school backpacks by The Herschel Supply Co.
While the backpack may have been the dorky bag option in the schoolyard – the over-the-shoulder side bag the trendier alternative – Canadian label The Herschel Supply Co. highlights the style in its finest form.
Founded by brothers Jamie and Lyndon Cormack in 2009, The Herschel Supply Co. name was inspired by the small town Herschel in Canada – where barrel maker Peter Alexander Cormack and wife Annie immigrated from Scotland in the early 1900s. With a population of only 30 people today, it was in this tiny community that three generations of Jamie and Lyndon’s family grew up.
Now based out of Vancouver, Herschel produces timeless backpacks, bags and travel accessories for the on-the-road lad. In single or two-tone colours, the Herschel range features earthy tones of forest green and deep ocean blue with brown trimmings for a close-to-nature feel, with the odd splash of vibrant yellow and orange for the on-trend carrier.
