Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bag

These are a beautiful size, excellent in all ways, and my teenage granddaughters will really enjoy them. My granddaughter Amy says, They're working great, really spacious, and even make a good pillow on the bus. Really amazing!

I had ordered this weekender bag for my daughter she travels a lot and find this bag extremely useful. We found the quality to be excellent the colors are very bright just what she likes. I am glad I was to get this for her for her upcoming birthday.

As a college student who travels back and forth on the weekends, the weekender is PERFECT! It was also used as my carry on during my spring break trip and was great on the plane! The front zip pocket was awesome for small snacks, as they were easily accessible. I love Shower Vines and am definitely looking to buy another in a different pattern! Slightly too big to carry back and forth to class, but that is what Vera makes Backpacks for! Love this!

This is a perfect size bag for any short trip or weekend getaway. The shoulder strap/pad is very comfortable and the pockets were just right. I got the flower shower pattern, which is adorable inside and out. I love this bag, especially with the price I paid!

I am very excited to get this beautiful and stylish carry on. Will be using it for my class reunion weekend coming up. Just the right space for everything. Hate to check bags, so this one can go in the overhead compartment. I placed several other items in this pattern and I am pleased with everything I received.

Weekender in Flower Shower is big enough to put a lot of thing in it for an over night trip. Loveit

Love the fact that the weekender has a sleeve so I can attach to my wheeled bag! Makes airport navigation much easier!

It is better than expected. Love the video so I could judge the size. The colors and vibrate and lovely. Good design and love the trolley sleeve. The little side pockets are a bonus.

I travel from AL to CA a few times a year and have carried everything from heavy backpacks to laptop portfolios, to a small suitcase as a carry-on, all because I needed access to my laptop during the flight. I decided to purchase the Weekender in Venetian Paisley because it's full of bright colors, which make me smile. It has a loop on the outside, in case I want to put it on top of a suitcase handle. The zippered compartment on the outside is a perfect size for a small laptop, which is ideal for my needs. There's tons of room on the inside for a change of clothes, extra items that I purchased during my trip, along with a blanket (planes are notoriously chilly!). I'll be able to tuck it under the seat in front of me on the flight, so there's easy access during those 5 hours. One other thing, I like the idea of having my valuables on me or in my carry-on bag at all times.

Big enough to carry all that you need but not to big that things get lost. I love the pockets for storage.

This bag was great for a carryon on the plane. It holds more than you think it will.

Bought this for my granddaughter who is away at college. It beings lightweight, helps cut down on heavy luggage. I had it monogrammed and she loves it.

This bag is really well made and can't wait to put it to use when I travel overseas later this year. This will be my carry-on bag.

I love it! It almost matches a set of luggage I have (unfortunately not Vera Bradley). It looks like an updated version of the pattern. The strap on the back to go over the handle on luggage is a lifesaver.

I have waited so long for this piece and my husband let me get it for my birthday. It is the right size and has so many pockets even I will be hard pressed to fill them all. The pattern is awesome. I never stick with one pattern and match how boring. I cannot wait to use it!

I wanted a 'toiletry' bag that was big enough for my hair dryer and curling/flat iron. I can place those in, along with the needed bathroom stuff for trips. I have room left, so should I want to throw in a change or 2 of clothes, I've got the room! I, absolutely, love this bag! I kept looking and looking at it, I should have gotten it the first time I saw it. T

This bag was great. I was able to carry only 1 bag (toiletries, shoes and clothing) all fit into this with no trouble.

Just the right size, comfortable on shoulder, lots of pockets, soft fabric, goes with anything! Lots of compliments on it as well.

Everything I need for the weekend at my grandkid's houses will fit in this bag. Plenty of pockets.

I have the Weekender in Canterberry Magenta, and I love it! It is very roomy, looks great, and has lots of small inner and outer pockets (the outer ones are great for stashing things you don't want to dig around for at the airport like boarding passes, licenses, and lip balm). It also works perfectly as a carry on (it even fits under the seat!). In general, it isn't so big as to be bulky, but it isn't so small that it doesn't fit everything you need. I think this is one of Vera's best products!

I was nervous to buy this bag because of the negative reviews about the sleeve not fitting over wheeled carry-on handles. Despite what others are saying, the 'sleeve' does fit over the rather chunky handle of my wheeled carry on. I have a small Cal-Pac wheeled carry. When the Weekender arrived and I pulled out my wheeled carry-on, I cringed as it did not look like it would fit over the handle!! It's a tight fit, but it fits! I don't know what kind of handles others have on their wheeled carry-ons, but the handles must be very big/bulky. The bag itself seems well made and looks to me to be the size in person that I imagined it would be. As others said, depending on how much you like to pack, this would NOT work for more than a few days/nights worth of clothing - and maybe not even that (jeans, sweters are bulky), if you added in a shoes, blow dryer, brush, makeup bag, hairspray, shampoor/conditioner bottles, other toiletries, etc. I'm planning to use the Weekender for the clothes part only (and maybe my laptop/ipad) and put the blow dryer, makeup, toiletries, etc. in a smallish back- pack separately. Packed this way, I can see getting two nights/days worth of clothes in this. It also depends on the season you're traveling in. Summer clothes will of course fit more easily (more outfits) than bulkier winter clothes. Just think carefully about what you need !

So please with this purchase! Bigger than I expected! Love the pockets and the space! Perfect carry-on for flying! My mother liked mine so much that I purchased her one for an early mothers day gift! She can't wait to use hers!

Love this Vera bag...holds so much and so easy to carry! This bag has inside pockets and will pack enough clothes and shoes for 2-3 days and you will look classy carrying it!

My very favorite feature of this bag is the trolley sleeve on the back, enabling hands free travel through the airport, around the hotel....or wherever! It's a great feature that saves the neck and shoulder muscles too! The bag is a nice light weight and very sufficient for holding a multitude of carry on necessities (since it qualifies as a personal item to carry on the plane). Love all the blues and green in the Ink Blue!

I used this bag on a recent vacation as my carry-on because it has lots of pockets and lots of room. I put two medium packing cubes inside, along with snacks, reading material, medication, and jewelry. I am so glad I purchased this bag in time for my trip and will definitely use it over and over again!
