Herschel Sales FAQ

1

When does Herschel have Black Friday sales?

Herschel's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale typically runs late November with sitewide discounts around 30% off. Some backpacks and accessories get marked down up to 50% off during this event.

This is one of the best times to buy Herschel bags because discounts apply to current-season styles, not just clearance items. Watch their website starting mid-November for early access announcements.

2

Does Herschel offer a student discount?

Yes! Students get 10% off through Student Beans or UNiDAYS. You need to verify your student status with a valid school email or ID, and you must be 16 or older and enrolled full-time in college, university, or high school.

The discount code is sent after verification and works on most full-price items. Some exclusions apply, so check the terms before ordering.

3

What's Herschel's return policy for sale items?

In the US, you can return most items within 30 days for a full refund with the original receipt. However, items bought during holiday shopping (November 1 – December 31) get an extended return window until January 31.

Important: Sale items outside the holiday period are usually final sale and cannot be returned. Always check the product page for specific return eligibility before buying.
4

When is the best time to buy Herschel backpacks?

The absolute best time is Black Friday/Cyber Monday with up to 50% off select styles. The second-best time is during Back to School season (July-August) when Herschel promotes school-ready bags and bundles.

If you can't wait, check the “Sale” section year-round for past-season colors and styles at up to 30% off. Regional warehouse sales (like the Tustin, CA event in May or Vancouver event in November) offer the deepest discounts at up to 75% off, but these are in-person only.

5

Does Herschel have warehouse sales?

Yes! Herschel holds regional warehouse sales with up to 75% off backpacks, duffels, wallets, and accessories. Past events include Tustin, California (May) and Vancouver, British Columbia (November).

These are in-person shopping events that require tickets or advance registration. Dates and locations change each year, so follow Herschel on social media or check local event sites if you're near a major Canadian or US city.

6

How much can I save during Herschel's Sale section?

The ongoing Sale section on Herschel's website offers up to 30% off past-season styles and colors. Discounts apply to backpacks, duffels, travel bags, wallets, and accessories that are being phased out.

Selection changes regularly as items sell out, so check back often if you're hunting for a specific style. The Sale section is available year-round on US, Canada, EU, and UK sites.

7

Does Herschel offer free shipping?

In the US, Herschel offers free standard ground shipping on orders $75 or more (before tax). Orders under $75 cost $9.95 for standard shipping or $14.95 for express.

Shipping to non-contiguous states (like Alaska and Hawaii) is not eligible for free standard ground shipping. International shipping policies vary by region, so check your country's Herschel site for specific details.

8

What is Herschel's warranty policy?

Herschel offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers defects in materials and manufacturing. The warranty lasts for the original purchaser's lifetime and starts from the date of purchase from an authorized Herschel retailer.

Tip: Keep your receipt! You'll need proof of purchase from an authorized retailer to claim warranty coverage. The warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear, misuse, or damage from accidents.
9

Does Herschel have Boxing Day sales?

Yes, in Canada, Australia, and the UK! Boxing Day (December 26) is a major post-holiday shopping event for Herschel with discounts ranging from 30-60% off on select items and last-chance clearance.

US shoppers won't see a Boxing Day sale, but Cyber Monday deals sometimes extend into early December with similar discounts. Check your region's Herschel site for local holiday sale details.

10

How often does Herschel have sales?

Herschel has a year-round Sale section with past-season items at up to 30% off. Major sales happen during Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), Back to School season (July-August), and regional events like warehouse sales.

Seasonal transitions also bring clearance opportunities as older colors and styles get marked down to make room for new collections. If you're flexible on color and style, you can almost always find a deal somewhere on the site.
