Customer Reviews Vera Bradley XL Campus Backpack

Love the print of this bag but ordered online and didn't realize the size of this bag seems so much smaller than another Vera Bradley backpack I bought for my daughter a couple of years ago. I should have read the measurements as I think it is a bit small for high school.

Great size and plenty of pockets. Even had a spot for my oversized laptop. Down side is straps aren't padded that well and top grab loop is not think and durable. Straps aren't made to support the load the bag is made for

Great quality backpack. The monogramming is to small for this size backpack

The bag was showing a lot of thread on the outside of the bag, it made the bag look cheaper than what i actually purchased it for.

I've been using this backpack for about three months, and loved everything about it until last week, I noticed one of the shoulder straps is halfway broken. I only carry a 13 in laptop and some light daily essentials for four days a week. This is very disappointing. Thought I would buy more Vera campus backpacks because it is light and practical but I guess not.

Unfortunately, the quality of these bags has really gone down. This is the second one that had a zipper break in 2 years. I am done.

My wife loves this purse, it's her 2nd Vera Bradley purse. Downside was finding it for $25 LESS in a store that we wandered into after purchasing it online from the Vera Bradley website. Serious bummer. I recommend this purse/backpack, but also recommend you shop around! The Vera Bradley website is NOT the cheapest place to purchase this products.

Love the color and all the little organizational pocketswhat I don't love it the weight. I planned to have this be my personal carry on when I fly, but I'm not sure because it is heavy even when it is empty. I found weight to be an issue with the weekender bag as well.

Love this backpack, there are so many pockets and the material is so cute. My biggest complaint is that the straps do not hold up well. I spent a lot of money on this bag, yet this backpack has fallen apart faster than any other backpack I've had. So sad but it looks like I won't get much more out of this bag with how the strap is holding up. Have had for 1.5 years

I don't feel the quality is the same as the traditional Vera Bradley backpack. The material is very thin and it gets dirty quickly. Honestly I would have returned it but I got it monogrammed. The monogram is gorgeous and the various pockets are great for functionality. I hope it holds up.

A major concern about the backpack is the zipper fabric keeps fraying and sometimes falling off. I like the pattern in the backpack but just a little upset about the fraying it shouldn't be happening on a backpack that is this expensive

Need to make a little larger

I like this bag a lot. I bought it specifically for my computer to travel with and it matches my duffle bag. However the 15 inch lap top is a very tight fit. Closing the zipper is very tight at the top of the backpack. One more inch and I would say it fits a 15 inch laptop.

The size of this backpack and all of the compartments are great! Unfortunately, the fabric choice is poor. I bought the black color and it attracts lint very badly. I own the small quilted backpack from Vera and this does not happen. I wish I had spent more and gotten the large quilted backpack instead.

I wish it felt like it was made of quality material like other Vera Bradley products.

This material collects alot of pet hair

I love the space in this backpack and the size of the pockets, it is super convenient. My only complaint is the material, it picks up so much lint, hair, etc. throughout the day no matter where you set it (or don't set it). I really wish I would have gotten a different material but the backpack was expensive to begin with so ordering another is not an option, carrying a lint roller it is. Overall love the size and capacity of this bag.

I think we were expecting a really gray backpack. Then when we received it, it was super bright with colors. Not at all what we wanted or expected. But the backpack itself is incredible. Very roomy and nice.

For the price of the backpack it is very spacious and can hold lots. It is a very durable backpack but my only complaint is for the amount of the backpack the material of the backpack does not match. It collects so much lint throughout the day and gets dirty very quick. It is hard to get the lint off and which is why I rate the backpack a 3/5.

Overpriced

I love almost everything about this backpack, but after 4 months of daily commuting, one of my straps is deteriorating from the inside. Of course, it's the one I grab to put it on, but that shouldn't make a difference. The inner material of the straps feels like a cheap foam material. Compared to other laptop backpacks the straps are poor quality. . I really do love everything else about this bag, especially the large stretchy water bottle pockets, but for the price, I expect my straps to last longer than 4 months. :(

I think this is a cute backpack, but a little big and bulky for me. The fabric is good, I just prefer the original cotton much better. The color is fun, and I love all of the storage it has.

I was initially very excited when I bought this backpack for college at the beginning of the school year. However, after 3 months one of the straps started fraying, and now I can't use it because I am afraid of the strap breaking. I am very disappointed, because I liked everything else about the backpack and my mom and sister both have Vera Bradley backpacks that have held up.

My daughter is going to use it when they finally get yo ho back to school. We love Vera Bradley and always gets matching sets! Love the bag just smaller than the one she had last year and This one is suppose to be an XL. But the Foxwood pattern we

I got this backpack and absolutely loved it! But, it started to tear at the bottom. I am in college and I carry all my heavy books, the only thing in my backpack are a few folders, pencil case and laptop. It should not have ripped.
