Yay! What a fun tote! Perfect for my iPad, a few magazines and other things, a small water bottle too. Good size, not too big or small plus you\'ve got to love the different colors and patterns!

Great tote! I use it as a combo purse/diaper bag. I don't like lugging around a purse, wallet, AND heavy diaper bag, and this tote fits all my items just fine (diapers, wipes, snacks and drinks for kids, as well as my wallet, phone, etc). Good quality and very pretty design.

Really great bag! I have the black/purple one and have gotten so many compliments. Holds everything and is a great pop of color for my generally neutral wardrobe.

Daughter loved the bag. Great price. Fast shipping. Love Zappos! Great exchange policy too! Sent out the replacement the day I was shipping back the original! What an awesome place!

I got this bag as a gift for my grandmother- she really likes Vera Bradley bags and I liked the colors and size on this one. Overall, I thought it looked really great, it was about the right size to carry a laptop or some books/magazines.

So I am fairly new to Vera Bradley, but I was not super-impressed with this one. I had ordered it in the blue lagoon and the lemon, but they are both going back. I have the Mandy that I am carrying right now, and it just seems so much more well-made than this tote. I realize it is just a tote, and if you are wanting that, then this might work for you. It would probably make a decent school bag if you weren't carrying anything too heavy, because I am not sure how long the straps would hold up, since they seem flimsy. The material on these even seemed thinner.

Got this bag to take with me on vacation and I love it! Right off the bat Zappos customer service was amazing. The tote came in the mail within 48 hours of ordering it. Awesome! It was just the right size to carry my wallet, bulky camera, some souvenirs, bottle of water. I love the print and I received several compliments on it!

This purse was beautiful. It was A Mother's Day gift for a friend of mine and she absolutely loved it! I just found Zappos through that same friend and I love it! So so easy and just a great site to order from. No more ordering from Amazon or anyone else like that. Why would I?

This was a great Mother's Day present for my step-mother. She loved it and immediately made it her work tote bag for the summer.

Zappos has really grand service. I found the item was the same price on the Vera Bradley website, but they were charging a lot for shipping, and Zappos did it for free. We have ordered many things from Zappos and will continue to do business with them.

Love them! Oh so cute and oh so comfortable. The deep purple is amazing. Looks great with jeans and skinnier leg dress pants. Cole Haan, you did it again! Love them. Highly recommend this color.

I wear these while standing on concrete tile floor. My patients say physical therapy is easy in these shoes. I love the color and style for a 5'10" lady.

I ordered these shoes in Navy 7AA. I have very narrow feet and extremely narrow heels. I have bought many pairs of Cole Haan shoes and always been satisfied with them until this pair! The toe box is short and rubs my little toe. The heels are flopping up and down. I wish I had not worn them or I would have sent them back. The price was very high for a pair of flats that do not fit very well. I have had to insert Dr Scholl's inserts and they are still too loose. I am very disappointed in these shoes!

Cute shoe. Comfortable enough. But I am older and toe cleavage is not an attractive feature of old feet. A 16 year old would look better in this shoe than I did.

Finally, a flat shoe that doesn't feel like a flimsy slipper! Very true to size, I wear and ordered a size 5, have to put a foot cushion in the toes, but I have to do that for pretty much every shoe I wear. Great support for my hard to please arches and my bunions (had surgery on one and am trying to avoid surgery on the other foot; these shoes will help!). I'll need a little break-in period with these, but I don't mind. The gun metal mirrored are a fabulous silver color that do not look cheap. I bought another Cole Haan shoe with the same Nike technology and have found a new favorite brand.

I love these shoes. They had the same style as Steve Madden, which looked great, but after trying Cole Haans, there is such a difference in comfort! These are cute and I will be able to teach all day in them!

I adore the look of these shoes but have not found the perfect fit after three tries. I ordered/wanted it in two colors because I love the style but have found they\'re not true to size; and trying a size down as well as a medium width instead of the narrow width I usually require has not produced a comfortable fit. I\'ve compromised by keeping one pair of too-tight shoes instead of the two well-fitted pairs I would have preferred. However, Zappos is the most accommodating company I\'ve ever ordered from and I\'m delighted with their service. I have ordered from them before and will continue to search for smartly-styled shoes in my size, 8 1/2 N, at Zappos.

LOVE these shoes. Very comfortable but they retain their shape - no stretching out. Feels true to size. I wear them everywhere and my feet don't hurt. Looks cute with skirts & pants.

This shoe runs very narrow across the bottom of the toes - that is the bad news. The good news is that if you flex the shoe and wear it with socks for a while, it does stretch out. Otherwise comfortable.

These are a treat! I always wanted to try Cole Haans, but they rarely fit in my tight budget. So when the sale opportunity arose, I quickly ordered the bronze flats. I liked the looks of them when they arrived, but they were just a tad too short - not because the sizing is faulty, but because they’re round-toed shoes and I don’t have round-toed feet. So I took advantage of Zappos’ exchange system, tried the next half-size up, and those are fine. If they’re a tiny bit wide for my skinny feet, that’s not something I can’t handle. And comfortable! I don’t think I’ve ever had a flat this easy to wear. They are both classic and classy. I expect to enjoy them for several years. Thanks, Zappos, for being such an easy store to buy from!
