Vera Bradley Womens Cotton Weekender Travel Bag

I bought this for my 80 year old mother to use for overnight visits and it’s the perfect size for her.

This bag wasnt as big as I thought it would be. Its a nice bag I suppose, but nothing terribly special. It gave me diaper bag vibes, when I was going more for a weekend bag feel.

I didnt want to review until I actually used the bag. I used this as my carry-on for American Airlines, best news, it fit under the seat! I packed it for a weekend get away which included 2 pairs of clothes, 1 pair of high heels, toiletries, a full size hair dryer and straighter, along with some extra shirts. It held all my stuff with room to spare, however, I believe if you packed it to full capacity it probably wouldnt fit underseat. Loved the color and the bag seemed to hold up well. The only thing is that it can get quite heavy, and if you have to run through the airport then it isnt exactly ideal. Overall, I loved it and will probably continue to use it as my carry-on until it just falls apart.

Think material and good quality. I got the bright pink and the color was perfect! I needed a mid sized duffle bag to carry on while traveling. It fit perfectly on top of my suitcase with the luggage sleeve! Lots of pockets inside for organizing but I do wish there was a laptop pocket inside.

I purchased this in the recycled cotton Galaxy Grey. I have owned many Vera bags over the years, but have not made a new purchase in the last 4 or 5. The material is soft cotton, and lightweight. I like that they skipped the traditional quilting for this particular style. Honestly it does not look like a Vera Bradley bag. Depending on your personal taste that may be a good or bad thing. Even the zipper pulls are non descriptive. For me, I am pleased with the aesthetic. My plan is to use this as a gym bag, and for short overnights. I’m a size Large/ 12, and I can pack 2 jeans, tops, and a sweatshirt, 2 PJ (all rolled) as well as a small toiletries/ makeup bag. Just enough for 2 nights. For the gym, I can pack sneakers, and clothing with ease, fits a water bottle as well. The interior pockets are great for organizing those small items. The front pocket was large enough for my iPad and charging cables. I took off one star for the structure, Vera Bradley never puts any structure into the sides of its bags. It would make packing easier if it stood up on its own. Overall I’m pleased with this purchase and am looking forward to using it.

Color of the bag was exactly as shown in the photo. Its a perfect bag to pack all of my belongings for a 3 day weekend. Nice compartments for putting specifics needed to grab quickly. Shoulder strap is adjustable to wear over the shoulder or across the body. Reasonably priced.

This bag was a perfect addition to my trip. It held a ton of stuff! I fit two outfits, 3 large beach towels, hair straighter, and various other travel needs. The pockets inside were useful and held a nice amount of little things I needed. The quilted material is thick and soft. The handles are thick and comfortable to hold. The shoulder strap could be a little thicker but it does it’s job. The colors are vibrant and the butterfly pattern is beautiful. I always loved the quality of Vera Bradley bags and this one surpasses my expectations. Only issue is that I now believe I need all of the matching accessories to go with it!
