I am a long-time Herschel customer
I am a long-time Herschel customer, but I am extremely disappointed in their "Limited Lifetime Warranty." My backpack suffered a complete structural failure where the main seam connecting the bottom to the back panel simply unraveled.
When I submitted a claim, it was denied as "general wear and tear." I even appealed, pointing out that while the exterior mesh has minor pilling (general use), the internal load-bearing stitching has completely detached—a clear manufacturing defect.
The support team (Art) acknowledged my detailed explanation but refused to help, sticking to a "final" decision that structural collapse is just "wear and tear." If a bag's seams don't stay together, the bag is useless.
A "Lifetime Warranty" that doesn't cover the very stitches holding the bag together is not a warranty at all—it’s a marketing tactic. If you expect this brand to stand behind their craftsmanship when a seam fails, think again. I’ll be taking this to the Consumer Protection Office.
