Step 1:

  • Confirm your product is covered under Herschel’s Limited Lifetime Warranty (bags, luggage, accessories) or 1-year warranty (apparel) and was purchased from an authorized retailer.

  • Ensure the issue is a material or manufacturing defect, not caused by misuse, normal wear and tear, or purchase from an unauthorized seller (which voids warranty).

Step 2:

  • Fill out the official Herschel warranty claim form with personal details, product category, defect type, and purchase information.

  • Provide required details such as order number (if available), retailer name, and purchase date.

  • Upload clear supporting photos, including proof of purchase, defect image, and full product views (front, back, and inside tag).

Step 3:

  • Herschel will review your claim and, if approved, issue a claim number through their customer service team.

  • If eligible with proof of purchase, you will receive a gift card equal to the original purchase value for replacement.

  • If proof of purchase is unavailable, approved claims may receive a credit worth up to 70% of the item’s last selling price.

Herschel Warranty Period:

  • Bags, luggage, accessories (backpacks, totes, wallets, travel bags, etc.): Limited Lifetime Warranty (valid for the lifetime of the original owner)

  • Luggage (wheeled bags / trolley handle bags): Limited Lifetime Warranty

  • Apparel (jackets, hoodies, hats, fleece, etc.): 5-Year Limited Warranty

Real Experiences with Herschel Warranty Claims:

Typical Processing Time: Most claims are resolved in about 5–10 business days, but during busy seasons it can extend to 2–3 weeks.

Reason for Common Delays: Delays usually happen due to high seasonal claim volume, verification of defect photos, and stock availability for replacements or gift cards.

Helpful Tip to make the claim easier: Submit clear photos of the defect + front/back/inside of the product + proof of purchase in one go to avoid back-and-forth requests.

Required Documents for Your Herschel Warranty Claims:

  • Proof of purchase (receipt or order confirmation from authorized seller)
