Vera Bradley Womens Cotton Weekender Travel Bag

I bought this as a birthday gift for my sister. She would usually pack her weekend clothes in a grocery bag. I have a similar one I bought years ago and love it. Lots of pockets and is perfect for short trips. Vera Bradley bags are very well made and hold up well. If you are on the fence about this bag, I would say “go for it!”

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.

I love everything about this bag! It fits all my essentials for a nice weekend getaway! This bag is great if you’re staying somewhere for 3-4 days. I even bought the matching makeup bag which is favorite because it has a plastic lining inside so it’s easy to clean when makeup tends to get a little messy. I definitely recommend this bag!

I have a LOT of Vera. This bag is beautiful, roomy and comfortable over the shoulder. But I really wish that Vera would stop using mesh for the internal pockets. She used to use fabric and it was so much better. Please Vera, bring the fabric pockets back! I’m afraid the mesh is going to rip- it doesn’t feel like it will hold up.

Very appropriate gift for fall occasions

I’m excited about this bag. My bag is the old Havana Dots pattern, which is very fun and discontinued. This Weekender is the older style with the removable hard bottom and the pockets are quilted instead of the thin mesh they are using on the newer versions of this bag. The inside is not cotton, which I would prefer, but it is nice for the satin-like fabrics Vera is using now. I think it will be the perfect size for weekend get-a-ways. I think for the great price, it is definitely a 5 star!

I have used this Vera weekender bag several times for travel on weekends and even 5-6 days. It holds everything I need. This bag also comes with has a luggage strap. I love the plaid design and the cotton softness. I also bought the matching cosmetic bag.

LOVE this bag! I bought it as a carry-on bag for a trip to Florida. It was the perfect size for a carry-on. Slipped right under my seat on the plane with no issues. The strap was very comfortable on my shoulder during the hectic trip through the airports. It did not slip off my shoulder as other bags have done. When I arrived home from my trip, I detached the strap, slid out the cardboard bottom, and threw it in the washing machine on delicate cycle. Then I hug it to air dry. It washed beautifully. No damage to it and it kept its shape. And the cardboard bottom slipped easily back into it. And I love the blue and white print. Very pretty! Five stars!!

This is not same quality as an original Vera Bradley from their stores. Nice bag but NO inside sewn Vera tag just small one in seam outdide and tags clipped on to zippers say Vera Bradley. On the actual Vera Bradley web site, and everything I purchased from the Vera stores, all the bags have an inside and outside sewn in Vera tag. The handles on this have been cheapened down with no reinforced seams anywhere or piping detail. I love the color but even on sale this is not worth the price. Returning. I will go to the outlet store and get one for the same price. I am disappointed the Vera Bradley company would sell this cheaper version and pass it off as an original.

I am yet to travel with this bag but I know it will be great. I like its all fabric (easy to wash), light and love the pockets. I can use outside pockets for things I need to get quickly and it has a water bottle one on the side. So convenient when traveling! I also like the size. Looks roomy but not too bulky. I really like the bag. Very happy with this purchase!
