We'll let you in on a little secret: We the people of the Mashable Shopping team often think of Herschel Supply Co. as the Apple of the luggage world. That's because the brand's products hardly ever go on sale — any deals we stumble upon are both a rarity and a cause for celebration.

On that note, it's time to break out the champagne and party streamers: Amazon is currently having a huge sale on all sorts of Herschel bags and accessories, including a bunch of those retro-inspired backpacks you've probably seen all over #hygge-obsessed bloggers' Instagram grids.

Emphasis on "huge," by the way: One of said backpacks is getting a discount of more than 60%, which is basically unheard of for bags and accessories of a certain quality. For instance, we saw a handful of backpacks made by the Fjallraven — Herschel's biggest competitor — go on sale just before the holidays, but those discounts weren't nearly as steep.

Hurry over to Amazon to shop the following four Herschel styles before they inevitably sell out:

Herschel Classic Backpack

This popular bag features a clean design with cord zipper pulls, a front storage pocket, and a fabric liner. It's available in three different sizes, but for the best deal, we suggest grabbing the XL (30-liter) version in the pattern "quiet shade plaid," which comes with dual water bottle pockets and a 15-inch laptop sleeve: It's currently on sale for just $30.26, or 50% off its $59.99 MSRP.

Herschel Pop Quiz Backpack

Great for students and working professionals alike, Herschel's Pop Quiz backpack comes with a padded and fleece-lined laptop sleeve, a sunglasses compartment, an internal media pocket with a port for your headphones, and a front pocket sporting mesh organizers and a key clip. It usually retails for $79.99, but you'll pay just $50.29 (a 37% savings) if you order it today in the style "woodland camo/multi zip."

Herschel Little America Backpack

Herschel's Little America style sports a ~mountaineering silhouette~ that's been decked out with an internal media pocket, an adjustable drawstring closure, contoured shoulder straps, a front pocket with a hidden zipper and key clip, and a protective laptop sleeve. The last time we checked, you could snag the mid-volume (17-liter) size in buckthorn brown for only $59.98 — that's 40% off its suggested retail price of $99.99.

Herschel Heritage Backpack

Equipped with pebbled leather zipper pulls and a 15-inch laptop sleeve, the Heritage Backpack rocks Herschel's iconic diamond-shaped accent right above its front pocket. It typically retails for $59.99, but Amazon's got its Classic (21-liter) model on sale in kelp/vermillion orange for only $21.98 — an impressive 63% savings.

Amazon's sale further includes the following styles:
