Customer Reviews Vera Bradley XL Campus Backpack

On first time taking out of bag, pulled on zipper to open pouch and it broke. Not very happy with this.

My 16 year old daughter absolutely loves the backpack, she received it as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately she was also the one who brought it in from being delivered in a hot pink bag marked Vera Bradley. Really? Not much of a surprise since it was on her list. You would think they'd be more considerate about the packaging during the holidays.

I really wanted the charcoal medallions pattern, but before I could checkout, it was sold out. I really wanted the bag for an upcoming trip, so I picked the butterfly pattern which I really like as well. The bag is great, with lots of pockets, perfect size. The only disappointing part was the monogram that I added on. They reversed my border and primary selections. It looks good, just not what I was expecting.

This is the best backpack for highschool but the print designs were very ugly this year.

Holds all her books and computer.

Arrived fast! Cute design, lots of pockets, but not complete! Forgot to put monogram T on left pocket as ordered.

The overall product is great but the pattern selection is not very large. My sister bought this and its great but I wish there were more patterns.

when we got the backpack and opened the plastic bag, we noticed several [5-6] small black spots at different places on the material. tried to wash off one and it did not come out. it is noticeable if you look, but the print kinda hides it it is for a student for next school year, I know school isn't out yet, but she found this and liked the print and wanted to get it before it wasn't available any more. just thought for the price, it would not have spots on it.

Bought for 11 year old niece. She's thrilled. Loves Vera Bradley Has lots of room and many great features

Bigger than I needed

I honestly thought it would've been taller to hold my lap top - but I was wrong. However the book bag is amazing!

Comfortable and fits a lot, without so many compartments that things get lost. The stitching is bad and there are already many loose threads after about a week of use. Disappointing.

A beautiful pattern, but I bought this to replace a long used (years) previous purchase and was dismayed that this backpack does NOT include 2-way zipper on the front panelvery disappointing! Why would you not include it on an otherwise nice large backpack?????

After many years as a VB devotee, this will probably be my last VB purchase. The newer patterns are too "cute", the fabrics aren't what they used to be, and the designs aren't as unique and/or functional without the abundance of secure pockets. The prices have become prohibitive, especially for something I can get elsewhere for less.

This style was super cute but the bookbag was a little to small to hold everything. Would be good for a elementary kid!

Cute print. Less matronly than usual. Good quality, but overpriced for the size.

I have purchased campus backpack from Vera Bradley before. While the pattern and design on this bag is good, I did not like how small the laptop zip opening part is. The zipper on older bag I had opened much wider and was easy to put a laptop in, but in this design they have reduced the zipper size, I wish it was still bigger. Also the quality on the material does not feel as good as my oder bags in spite of increase in prices on these bags.

My daughter and I loved this backpack however there are some issues that definitely need addressed, especially for this price point. The material on the straps and the bottom have just shredded. I fixed it once or twice but there is nothing left to sew together. The straps need some padding desperately. If you need to carry quite a bit, this is not the bag for you. We are very disappointed that we have to throw this away because the other details, pattern etc were wonderful.

Really would prefer the medium size backpack make a comeback. They're either too big or too small now.

This is short when it comes to length and gets bulky. I was looking for a little longer length. I purchased something like i was looking for 3 years ago and I couldn't find it anywhere anymore. My daughter didn't like the bag although it does look cute. But she's still using it because she has no choice. I don't like returning stuff.

Ordered this book sack for my daughter a couple of months ago when school started. She absolutely loved and started a trend at school. But unfortunately, we're halfway through the school year and the zipper keeps breaking on her extremely cute and trendy, but not durable

My daughter loves the backpack. It's beautiful and well made. The only issue I had was in the shipping. After I purchased it, They took my payment and I received an email saying the label was created and waiting for pickup. A week later, it still said the same. If I hadn't contacted them, I doubt I would have ever received it. Once I called, they created a new order and it was delivered the very next day.

Not as big as it looked online. For a "campus" bag it doesn't hold much.

My daughter is using this backpack for HS and has only used it one week and the stitching is coming out already. Love the size of the bag and always love Vera Bradley but after one week this doesn't seem to be holding up well.
