Customer Reviews Vera Bradley XL Campus Backpack

This backpack is the perfect size and I love the print.

I love the Vera Bradley backpacks! I need a good backpack for work. My last Vera lasted at least 15 years. It was my daughters from when she was in high school, which she used for four years. She's an adult now in her twenties. It had a good run and lasted without a flaw. So I know this new one will be just as great!!!

Many excellent features of this bag. I have the Mayfair in Bloom from Winter 2020, performance Twill Collection. It's great. It stores so much more than the Journey travel backpack or medium duffel. Travel tip: take this with you as your personal item on the plane. You can pack it to the max, and it will still fit snugly under the seat in front of you. I'll slip my nearly empty crossbody bucket bag into one of the large main compartments to get through security and the gate, and put my wallet in the very front small zippered pocket of the backpack to quickly access at airport. The chest strap is a must to carry this bag packed so full. the straps are padded nicely enough for me. The base of the backpack is reinforced with something, but it isn't padded like the back of the bag is. The side of the bag between your back and the laptop is well-padded, yes. What's unfortunate, is that the base of the bag where the laptop edge is, is NOT padded. So, when you set your bag down on the ground or on a table, you have to be sure to do so gently, so as to not bang up the corner or side of the laptop (this has happened to me!). Putting my laptop in a laptop bag and then into the laptop sleeve of the backpack seems to defeat the purpose of having a laptop sleeve built into the backpack.

I purchased this backpack for my daughter to use carrying her stuff to her back and forth to work. She loves it.

I love that the print matches my luggage. It's going to be my carry on for Europe.

Daughter loves the book bag it's just how the picture shows.

I love the color and it is waterproof! It carries everything that I need for school and more. This is the best backpack I have ever owned.

Bought this bag for school and it's amazing. The space allocation is very adequate for all those high school textbooks. Only wished there was a waterproof option.

I am so happy I was finally able to buy myself a Vera backpack, and then to see this gorgeous print?! It was love at first sight! I am a paraprofessional in an elementary school setting and this backpack has been a total game changer! I can easily park this bag with a change of clothes, lunchbox, binders, notebooks, and there are plenty of pockets and sections to keep myself organized! I plan on using this backpack for as long as she'll last, and by VB standards that means it will stand the test of time and everyday use!

This is my 1st time using a backpack as a workbag and I absolutely love it! I can't believe I didn't do this years ago. All the different compartments and the different sizes of them are just perfect for tucking away a laptop or a lunch bag or a drink or a jacket, whatever you need. Its so easy and convenient to carry on your back as well, less pain on the shoulders. The fabric has a perfect texture thats soft yet strong and also water resistant. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I absolutely love this backpack!

This is my go to backpack for traveling. Holds all of basic essentials needed in case my checked luggage doesn't make it and fits easily under airplane seat with room beside it for my feet

I'm a schoolteacher and I love it. I can carry my laptop and papers in one bag. It's very roomy and sturdy. Nice quality and fashionable.

I bought this for my daughter and it has quickly become her favorite backpack she has ever had. The quality is amazing - durable, supportive and easy to open and close. She has told me "I just love my new backpack" so many times!! Such a great product for a teen!!!

Great backpack. Does everything I need it to do. Looks nice and have gotten compliments. It replaced another Vera Bradley backpack where the zipper broke. They didn't replace the backpack, just gave me a credit to use towards purchasing a new one. The last one was a gift so I didn't have a receipt. They gave me what the current value was so I purchased a backpack on sale.

With mobility issues I needed a way to carry things to the beach or pool that are not hanging on my arms or are having to be held in my hands throwing me off balance. I decided the VB Backpack would be a nice solution! This fabric is super cute too and matches my VB Suitcase. It can also fit right over the suitcase handle for easy carrying so a win win!

My grand daughter simply loved this backpack!

It has great space and so many pockets.

I can get work papers, a laptop and my purse into this bag - everything I need for the day

This backpack is just what I was looking for, it holds all of my travel documents and is a purse all in one. Lots of room for everything!

It will be perfect for my trip to my son's Air Force BMT graduation.

So many storage compartments, great size, received many compliments
