Herschel Supply Co.

Founded in 2009 by Lyndon and Jamie Cormack in Vancouver, Canada, Herschel Supply Co. continues to make quality and well-designed backpacks and accessories. Herschel Supply Co. initially got its name from Hersche, Saskatchewan, where earlier generations of the family grew up. This small town embodied the boundless creative freedom which the brand remains inspired by. Ever since, the brand has been inspired to make a positive environmental impact, protecting the surrounding mountains, oceans and community. In 2021, they created a 10 Year Vision, with many sustainability goals accomplished by the following year. The company achieved 100% renewable electricity, recycled 4 million plastic bottles into backpacks, and donated $215,000 to support North American creatives. Their plan also contains future goals, including reducing emissions by 42% by the year 2030.

By launching their “Eco Collection” in 2021, Herschel began to feature products made out of 100% recycled materials—from label to liner. This collection now contains various sustainable products, made with the EcoSystem materials. In fact, by the Fall 2023, over 90% of Herschel’s products will be made with EcoSystem recycled materials. This fabric is made from 100% recycled post-consumer water bottles made with 70% recycled polycarbonate from post-use road barricade material. Going forward, Herschel plans to continue investing in their sustainability initiatives. To learn more, click here.
