The Herschel Spring/Summer 2013 Lookbook Takes It to the Country

— August 6, 2012 — Fashion
Popular backpack company and hipster-infused brand Herschel has released photographs for its Spring/Summer 2013 Lookbook and it has taken to the backcountry to promote its new line of backpacks.

Herschel is an up-and-coming company based out of Vancouver, Canada, that manufactures backpacks, bags, travel goods and accessories. Founded by brothers Jamie and Lyndon Cormack in 2009, Herschel comes from the name of a small town where the two boys grew up.

Herschel’s backpacks are simple, well manufactured and come in a variety of styles and colors. Herschel’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection features new bags that come in colors like Lime Punch and a nice polka dot pattern.

The Spring/Summer 2013 collection will be available on HUH. Magazine’s online store in February 2013.
