Vera Bradley Convertible Garment Bag

Gorgeous bag, will be so great to travel with! Update: I finally got the opportunity to travel with this bag so I wanted to make my review more accurate. This bag is absolutely amazing. It is an all in one travel bag. Completely unzipped, it starts as a garment bag to hold your hanging clothes. There are a few hanger slots. Once you get your hanging items situated, then you start zipping up the bag. It zips itself into a duffle type bag. Inside the bag on both sides are two secure plastic pouches to store your toiletries, then ample room to hold everything else if you’re only traveling for a couple days. There are also pouches on the outside. Then there are handles and a padded shoulder strap. The outside is a sleek black and the inside has a gorgeous pattern. When you’re finished traveling, it all folds nicely to tuck away in a corner. My only complaint would be that there’s really no way to secure it in itself when folded, so if you don’t have a tight corner, it comes unfolded and takes up more space. But all in all, it’s an absolutely amazing bag and makes me feel spectacularly fancy! I’m definitely more of a yard sale girl than a Vera Bradley girl, so it makes me feel fancy to have such a luxurious bag when I travel with my management team!

This bag is perfect for conference and wedding travel. It keeps everything flat and wrinkle-free while flying and on trains. The strap allows it to be carried like a normal dufflebag or crossbody. The zipper will take some time to break in and folding it into the duffle takes practice but is simpler than other duffle/garment combinations. Once folded into the duffle, you can pack it as a normal duffle with more cloths or other necessities. This is a must for anyone who worries about wrinkling clothes while traveling or may need more room for souvenirs at the end of the trip.

This Vera Bradley Convertible Garment Bag is well-designed and will keep a suit or formal dress safe or wrinkle free even while its being used as a duffel bag. Its durable-feeling and not too heavy. The detachable shoulder strap is very sturdy. I also like that it comes in a black option which still has a Vera Bradley floral pattern on the inside. The only thing I dont like about it is that while it can serve as your carry-on bag to put into an overhead bin, its slightly too large (collapsed or as a duffel) to be the personal item that airlines allow in addition to a carry-on. Expanded, its 14 inches high, 20 inches wide and 9 inches deep. The maximum dimensions for most airline personal items is smaller than that (usually around 18 x 14 x 8).

I wished this bag had wheels once you pack it becomes to heavy better suited for light travel.

This efficient bag doubles as a garment bag and nice-sized carry on. Its super sturdy with the nice high quality nylon material on the outside and of course, a GORGEOUS contrasting floral pattern on the inside. Im so excited to take my next trip and use this instead of trying to work out how to fit some of my longer clothing items into a carry-on. Very well-made with thoughtful touches throughout. Vera Bradley is consistently high quality and I recommend highly.

Great weekender bag - holds plenty and is light weight!

Very well made, and works well as a combo garment bag/duffle bag. This item is pretty large, much wider than my checked mid-size suitcase, and can get heavy if you fill it to size!

I got this for hanging dresses for travel. Even short dresses were too long to fit in the hanging garment section.

Wow, I love that you can store this flat! Ample of space once zipped together and great for long weekend get away or as overhead baggage. The quality of the bag is very good, and note that if you place more than 2 winter blazers, it does take away some of the inside space, but if you need to switch into work jacket - hey presto, it stays well flat, few wrinkles.

The design of this Vera Bradley Convertible Garment Bag is really unique and convenient, which is suitable for a short weekend/business trip. It provides enough space to store a maximum of 4 clothes to hang on and assembles as a travel bag. So, the space of the interior bag depends on the size/thickness of the clothing you hang. I tried to hang on my husbands regular down jacket. There is not too much room to put on other clothes/things. Its also a little bit difficult to zip it up. The other thing I want to speak about is that the bottom of the clothing will have the chance to bunch up since when the bag closes, which depends on the fabric and the quantity of the clothing you put inside. The material of the garment bag is sturdy, durable and well made. All zippers are able to open and close smoothly. I like that there is a convertible trolley sleeve on the bag, you can zip it up as a pocket or open it as needed so that you can hang slip it through the handle of your other luggage. It would be nice if there was a strap/button to tie/buckle up the bag when it is folded and not in use, which would keep it more tidy and organized. Overall, this is a functional travel garment bag and I recommend it.
