Vera Bradley Womens Cotton Large Travel Duffel Bag

Picture looks like a pale pink but in person it is much more vibrant. Still like it just not what I thought.

Wanted something that was stylish AND a durable! Purchased this for a 9 day road trip to use when I didnt want to take my big suitcase in for the night. It is absolutely perfect! My husband put his overnight needs in with mine (toiletries/clothing/etc.), and there was room to spare. I use packing cubes for travel, and had 2 days worth of clothing needs each time we checked in. There are ample pockets (easily carry sandals/large water bottle, etc.) and the BAG HAD SHOULDER STRAP. I have read that others did not have one. Best part, it folds down for easy storage until next time. I saved the plastic bag it arrived in, and placed it back inside stored for the next trip.

Beauty and easy to travel with

Get the VB quality without the pattern. My daughter is in love with the bag. Its definitely bright.

The handle ripped off after only a few uses. Very disappointed in the usual quality of Vera Bradley

I purchased a large Vera Bradley travel duffel some years ago (probably around 10), and it has been my go-to weekend and short trip bag. I found this pattern on VB.com and thought I would search Amazon; lo and behold a few pieces in this pattern are regularly on sale. I initially thought this was slightly smaller than my older duffel. It seems to be the same size, if not a 1/4-1/2 slimmer all around, and I attribute that to the age of my first duffel. Notable improvements on the new bag are slip pockets on both ends, vs. only one. Long padded shouler strap (and YES this does come with one), vs. not even a hook to add one on the old. Slip and a zip pocket on the side, vs. no side pocket. Three mesh slip pockets on the inside, vs. no inside pockets on the old. Two top zippers on new duffel to accommodate left or right hand zip, vs.only one. The bottom of the new duffel is gusseted all the way around, where the old bag has gusseting on each end. Looks like only a different means to give it structure. I love that VB has added a shoulder strap option, because my old bag will not stay on my shoulder. Usually at least one falls off, or both, which usually messes up my entire trip from the car to my destination when the bag falls to my elbow. The only note I will make about perceived negative change is the carry handle does not wrap around the whole bag, It stops at the bottom gusset stitch on each side. I think this could, over time, weaken the structure and the carry handle fray off as it gets older under heavy use. Overall, excited to be adding TWO new Java Navy Camo pieces (Utility Travel Tote is the other) for the first time in years. Other commenters have said VB is not on the bag anywhere. There is a tag inside. This is not a knock-off. To stay in business, companies have to cut corners somewhere to reduce costs. I would say plain grosgrain zipper tags help offset. My old duffel is still in great shape. Thought about donating it, but I believe I will keep it! VB does not miss, IMO.

Loved it and I’m sure you will too. It’s the perfect size plus it’s nice and spacious for all your travel goodies.

Bag is great. I jammed so much in it and it holds up. Love the pattern. Got the big cosmetics bag that matches and love that. Don’t hesitate to purchase .

It seems to be well made and I love the fabric, it just is a little longer than I expected. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet but I think it will work just fine.

Good color, good quality!
