I always wanted to get a Herschel Supply‘s backpack but just lack the impulse to do so because I already have lots of bags.
The impulse came when I was shopping around Orchard Road with my secondary school friend who is back in Singapore for a week.
Timbuk2 was having a 25% off all backpacks (including custom ones) and I could not resist the sale and hence I got myself a Custom Swig Laptop Backpack since I do not have one.
The original price was US$124 (S$144) and after 25% discount, it became US$93 (S$116). Shipping is additional US$35 (S$44) via UPS International Expedited. After everything the backpack cost about US$128 (S$160) which is still about S$40 cheaper than getting it from Timbuk2 Singapore Store.
