Holiday Gift Guide 2012: Herschel’s durable, primary-coloured backpacks

Herschel Supply Co. (named after the founders’ tiny Saskatchewan hometown) makes ultra-tough backpacks with all kinds of useful pockets and compartments. They also look great, thanks to a saturated colour scheme and old-school leather pulls. Most importantly, adjustable straps mean you won’t have to fret over what size to buy for friends and family. $40–$85. See 21 other fashion gifts »
