Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Deluxe Travel Tote

Very nice bag.

Perfect for overnight travel along with matching backpack. Really like the plaid.

As the title goes. I thought this would be more foldable to be brought on a plane but this is definitely bigger than expected and less flexible material. The handles are sturdy and the strap is a good width. The bottom zip section barely fits the grand vanity case. The slip back does fit a roller bag handle and is very nice for that reason. I wouldn't recommend putting anything fragile in the zip bottom such as an Tablet computer with the lack of padding. For train and car commuting this is absolutely perfect, especially for people needing to do their make-up or change outfits in between work shifts. The price compared to the travel duffle makes this a four star instead of a five star, it fits a very specific niche.

This will do what I need it to do. My only concern is it is larger than I thought it would be - even though I used my tape measure to compare it to the next size. smaller. The smaller one was barely large enough for six pairs of glasses, headphones, etc. The bottom compartment and larger size should take care of everything.

Good bag to pack the carry on items. Not big enough to use alone for a weekend trip but I still loved it. Beautiful pattern and very soft.

I thought I would like the bottom zip, but I am not a fan. Oh - I will get the most use from it for I love the bag part! My mother has a Grand Traveler and I borrowed it recently. Again - I am not a fan of this style. I am not sure what I was hoping for..., maybe a side zip would have been easier to navigate for me.

I returned this bag. The bottom section of the bag would easily hold one oversized beach towel, but not more. The remaining top section was reasonably roomy but did not have enough working pockets/ dividers to make the use of the bag good for me. Lastly, if I filled all parts of the bag, it could be quite heavy all together If you are looking for a bag where you can store items on the bottom and the rest on the top, this could be great. It is just too big for me.

Beautiful fabric and well constructed. Strap is comfy when tote is heavy . I opted for this style as I am a runner and always have sneakers wherever I go. However, when shies are in the bottom storage, bag lack a stiff bottom so bag falls over.

This tote is so roomy and has many side pockets and storage. The only thing I didn't like was that the shoulder strap kept sliding off my shoulder but when using as an addition to luggage it slides on perfectly.

Got my bag today and love it, I wanted the bottom Zip area for my camera..I have a large Nikon and it's In a bag and they fit perfectly in the bag for travel! Bag is big but not to big, very well made, has long handles to go on shoulder Or a nice detachable longer strap. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the monogram is not well done. I embroidery and have a machine but I don't have a commercial machine so I decided to let them monogram the bag! I could do a better job..it is a tad puckered and the stitching is losing and double looped in some places. However, overall a great bag

This bag is very practical for short weekend trips. I like The bottom storage place for shoes and slippers. I just wish it has wheels so I don't have to carry it on my shoulders.

Good size Very versatile

Colors are very attractive; well made; fits just enough clothing for a weekend trip; shoes are separated from clothing. This is a good and fun purchase.

Ok bag. Smaller than I expected. I should have read the other reviews about the shoe compartment taking up so much space. As a result, not much fits in the top, compartment. Especially when you use the interior pockets, there is very minimal room. The pattern is very cute and the bag seems well constructed though!

Thought it was deeper in picture.

I wish the inside pockets were quilted and more sturdy so the items you put in there stay put instead of flopping over.

Least favorite travel bag. I just can't use it. It holds quite little in the main compartment because it tapers at the top. I can pack two days' worth of summer wear, pj's, swimsuit and makeup bag... cannot fit Fall or Winter clothes for a two-day weekend with weekend toiletries. It's strange how the bottom portion of the main compartment pinches inwards where the zipper begins for the bottom compartment. The bag won't stand up well if you don't fill the bottom compartment up first. If you don't fill the bottom compartment completely and evenly, the bag won't stand up and keeps falling to one side or another. If you fill the main compartment up first, it's a beast to zip up the bottom compartment. Once the bag is all packed, if you access the bottom compartment, the top will just have to fall over to the side completely in the process. It's just not a user friendly bag. I feel like I can pack more onto the VB medium duffel and make use of the interior pockets more. The grand weekender is the roomiest with more useful pockets than this deluxe tote.

As the old poem goes, almost perfect, but not quite. The bag was delivered without the shoulder strap. Also, the bottom zip portion is much smaller than I expected. Delivery paperwork did not provide directions on how to seek redress of issues short of returning the entire order.

When comparing the recycled cotton to the signature cotton bag, I realized that there were certain details (like how the handles are sewn) that were altered despite being the same bag. I was super disappointed because the pattern was cute. However, for the price, I need it to withstand the test of time. The cut corners didn't go unnoticed.

Obviously a used bag. No tags, one zipper not working, looked used. Probably why it was a good price.

I like my other Vera Bradley travel piece quite a bit but this one is really bulky and hard to carry and is okay for something you'd pack in to the car but not really worth taking on a trip.
