Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Small Vera Tote

I am thrilled to have been chosen for this awesome bag! I had been wanting a bag that is easy to travel with and this one is just the perfect size. I love the material it's made of because it makes it easier to clean if I ever got something spilled on it. I love the pattern and the inside pattern. I love that the straps are adjustable and I can make it comfortable how I need it to be. I love just everything about it. I would definitely recommend this bag and any other Vera Bradley bags because they are just perfect.

I put my ID and keys on it and I got a lanyard too and I carry it around my neck and I love it!

This bag is amazing!! It's super stylish! I'm on my kids schools PTO, I've always worn a crossbody bag, seeing as usually I'm trying to carry a million things into the school at once!! This works even better, it's the perfect size for all of my essentials, plus scissors, tape, paper clips... snacks! You know, all of the things you need to decorate schools and keep kids entertained ???? I've gotten SO many compliments on it too! Definitely can't go wrong with this one!

I love this Iconic Small Backpack from Vera Bradley! The Raspberry Medallion pattern is super cute. It's made with a performance twill fabric that is water repellent and it's perfect for the weather here in the Pacific Northwest. I've been using this small backpack as a purse as I'm on the go a lot and carry around things for my child and dog. The straps are comfortable and I can wear it for hours as it's lightweight. I love all the pockets it has, and it's made extremely well!

I wanted a small backpack in a dark pink color and this is Raspberry Medallion. The bag is super cute. The color is so vibrant. The quality of the backpack is also very good. The first thing I always do is to try and fit my everyday stuff in the bag to see if it can fit everything I need before deciding whether I should keep it or return it. It definitely fits my iPhone, a small compact wallet, house, car Keys, my daughter's Sippy cup and a water bottle in the bigger compartment. In the smaller compartment, it fits a bigger box of Altoid Mints, a small bottle of hand sanitizer and a chapstick. There is a small pocket also inside the bigger compartment where I can technically keep my cash or cards. The things I like about this bag are that it is not too big or too heavy unladen. It is so much prettier than it look, very light weight and lots of pockets! it's a great little mini backpack.

I just got this backpack today, I love it !!!! The material is amazing, it is the perfect size. This is my new go to bag for errands and work!

Absolutely love the size and durability of this backpack. The print both inside and out is amazing.

I love this bag. It's just way too big in the size it is to carry daily. 12x12 would have been perfect. The inner pockets are perfect as is the adorable interior. Hands down the cutest Vera I own

This is a very cute backpack. It's the perfect hiking backpack and I was surprised by the number of pockets that were in it. There are side pockets that are perfect for a slim water bottle as well as a front zippered compartment and an open back pocket. The inside has one large zippered pocket and open smaller compartments so there is plenty of room in here to organize all your belongings. The material is the non-fabric kind that can be easily wiped clean so it makes cleaning it easy and simple. My favorite part is the color and pattern and I love how unique it is and stands apart from other backpacks. The inside is a different smaller floral pattern and I absolutely love it. The backpack feels sturdy and it's very lightweight. Overall one of the best backpacks that is both functional and stylish.

I own several Vera Bradley pieces and can attest to their quality, style and durability. Vera Bradley has many beautiful patterns and colors to choose from which is why I have so many! I chose to get this gorgeous iconic small backpack in raspberry medallion to use for my upcoming trip to Florida. I wanted something stylish yet practical to carry my necessities while walking through the Disney Parks. This is the perfect bag for such outings because of its many compartments with various zip and slip pockets to keep things organized when using yet small enough not to be weighed down when walking long distances. Its lightweight and water-repellent material makes is a must have when you plan to be outdoors in unpredictable elements; this material has a different feel and appearance than other Vera Bradley bags; It can also be spot cleaned if it gets soiled. I would highly recommend this bag because of its versatility, elegance and durability. It is suitable for all ages. It would make a lovely gift!

I use this backpack as an everyday purse and it works perfectly. I carry around a huge 40oz hydro flask and a vera all in one crossbody in this bag and still have lots of room! The straps are padded nicely and they're super smooth, and there are lots of slips and pockets for optimum organization. I was deciding between this and the Hadley Backpack and I'm so content with my decision!

Cute and compact, this zip-closure backpack has a beautiful geo print and differently printed lining--love the lining. Raspberry grosgrain zip pulls, adjustable straps, short top handle and lots of exterior and interior pockets. It comes with a tag that says the twill fabric is water-repellent.

I am absolutely in love with this backpack! I love the bright and bold pattern! Perfect to use on any occasion.

I love the colors and the feel of this Iconic small backpack. It is made from thick material and should last a long time. I'm looking forward to using my Vera Bradley iconic small backpack in many family activities.

I agree with the lady who was disappointed that the bag no longer has a base. I just made my own base. If you have the same older bag just make a template and cut out a piece of very strong cardboard and sew your own sleeve or just leave it without a sleeve. Also you could just transfer your old base to use in the newer model.

I absolutely love my Vera Bradley backpack. It's the perfect accessory for any occasion. It's very well made. The material feels good. It's the perfect size for carrying around all of my everyday essentials. It's big enough to carry my small laptop but not so big that it's a full blown backpack. It's definitely an iconic bag!

Excellent and very attractive

This ended up being slightly smaller than I thought it would be. But it actually holds quite a bit as I found out on a recent plane trip. I like the top zipper to keep things secure and the hidden pocket was perfect for slipping my phone, boarding pass, and ID into. The outer pocket was also a convenient place to safely store things you want easy access to. And the inner pockets help organize the inside.

The small Vera tote holds my iPad mini, a book and magazine, flip flops, and other small things for the weekend that all fit in the multiple pockets. I love this bag so much that I now use it as my every day handbag. I will buy another one soon in a fall/winter color or pattern since I bought this bag in the Shore Thing summer pattern. Love this tote !

I really do like this bag, it holds everything I need and then some, it had plenty of pockets and I love the hidden compartment at the top of the bag great for hiding keys or a cell phone. I have it in several colors and would love to see it in a pretty dark brown for Fall and winter. There are only a few things that would make it even better. One, bring back the hard removable bottoms for this and all the other bags, it provides much better support. Two bring back the classic Vera Bradley quilted fabric, it was a great quality fabric that never should have been taken away. Three get rid of the cheap leather zippers that fall apart after the first use, and bring back the original zippers with the fabric ribbons that we all love and want back.

my 13 yr old loves it

This is a great quality and beautiful small backpack. Great for carrying to school or for short travel. It is small but spacious. It is easy to carry and is light weight.

What a gorgeous backpack. It's my first time trying out anything from Vera Bradley and I'm astonished on how unbelievably spectacular it is. It truly is perfection. It's the perfect size to take along with me everywhere. I love the pattern and the color. It compliments every outfit I wear. I love that I can wear it as a backpack or tote around with it using the handle. The fabric is supreme. It's made of quilted cotton. The design pattern is gorgeous. I've never seen such a beautiful pattern before. It looks like a piece of artwork. I found it to be very easy to wear. It also felt very lightweight on me. I can see myself taking this backpack on trips with me when I travel this summer. It's very convenient to store away in my luggage. The backpack is fully functional. It has many compartments to store things in it. It has a large zippered compartment to store just about anything I want. And inside it has another zippered compartment and two more pockets to store items. On the front of the back pack there is another zippered compartment with sufficient storage space. And on the side there is another pocket for items. Honesty, this backpack is designed perfectly and I could tell that a lot of work went into creating such a functional backpack. It's great for traveling, for school and for your everyday activities. It's even awesome as a gym bag too. I love that is has adjustable straps. I feel that's so important as well. The pattern and design of this backpack is creatively fun and eye catching. I've received so many compliments on it and I'm always recommending it to everyone. What a great product from such a great brand. I'm definitely buying more bags and backpacks from Vera Bradley because one is just not enough. These bags definitely blow all the backpacks I've purchased before out the water. Amazing craftsmanship and there was so much attention to detail. It's amazing!

Perfect size to use every day

Style and function. I bought this and a few other totes to carry breakfast, lunch and water bottles to the office.
