Reviews

Good quality bag, no luggage strap

"This is a good bag, it’s spacious and comfortable, but the laptop compartment is a little bit snug for my 16” laptop, it still fits but I really have to shimmy it in, and there is no back area that loops onto a carry on bag. It’s obvious that there isn’t one in the pictures, so it’s my fault for not looking, I just haven’t seen a laptop bag not have one so I didn’t think I had to check. If I didn’t desperately need a bag I probably would have returned this and got the Gibson bag instead."

Could be more comfortable

"Overall very nice bag with good organization inside. It's the right size for my train commute. I wish the strap were a bit thicker, which would be more comfortable. Thinking seat belt width would be easiest on the shoulder. Not a hardcore material overall, but plenty for commuting."

— Andrew L. (4/5)

Nicely made but too big for me

"Herschel always has great products that’s well made. Unfortunately this size is too big for my day to day use so I have to return it. Would be great for people to use for school though."

Cove Messenger Bag

"This is an excellent work bag for on-the-go use, with ample space for a laptop and additional items. It is also lightweight, making it ideal for commuting in the morning rush hour."

— Duane G. (5/5)

Laptop doesn’t fit

"Laptop 15 inches doesn’t fit in the laptop sleeve"

— Daniel F. (1/5)

Mid & meh

"Not a fan of the look of this bag, which is very "junior office drone", and the straps look cheap. It's also huge (and the other size is too small) - the photos on the website should show it with a couple of different size humans to give a better idea. Have not used it yet so can't speak to performance, just commenting that for $90 it would be nice if it were more appealing to look at and less of a behemoth."

— Lu-Chow W. (5/5)

Fantastic and Sturdy

"Love this messenger bag! It’s a great size, holds a ton, and is very sturdy."

— Alex T. (5/5)

Bad Shoulder Strap

"I like the bag but the shoulder strap is poorly designed. The strap does not stay at it's adjusted length."

— C T. (2/5)

Laptop didn't fit

"So my device didnt fit in the little slot dedicated for it. It however does fit into the bag itself so I haven't bothered with a return. I looked at the specifications and measured my device, but maybe I did that incorrectly. Otherwise, it is a durable bag, great quality."

— Cheyenne S. (4/5)
