Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Sling Backpack

Good n practical to use esp in travels!

Love the new backpack with soo many pockets. It's very stylish and colorful.

I can't get it to rest comfortably on my left arm & shoulder.

Love this bag! Really comfortable, and easy to carry.

I love the material and the color. Great size for work. Could use a key ring inside the bag. Pockets are good, could use a zip pocket inside. Also, should consider making a larger size.

Good bag, however the only thing I didn't like was that the bag color looks completly different from the photo than in person. Color looks faded not as bright as the display photo. But other than that, bag is good to carry on the go.

Not bad but would have preferred it a little wider for my taste.

Love the pockets. Especially the back pocket for security. Need pockets inside the main compartment instead of the cavernous hole. Love that this is recycled material!

I like this bag, but it would be much better if the zipper on the front middle pocket went up, not down, so that items could not spill out of it when the compartment is opened. That compartment is useful and would be even more useful if it were a little larger. I look forward to seeing a redesign of the bag. I have seen several suggestions in the comments that would improve it. I am wearing it every day during COVID 19, not as a backpack, but with pockets on the front for hands-free wearing with accessibility to supplies such as hand sanitizer.

Traveling instead of a backpack.

I use this as my everyday purse. I really wish it was smaller, maybe medium. I loved the mini version- so cute, but too small. The fact that it is recycled material rocks!

I use it for lunch and it's everything I need to store my food

Good size, holds plenty!

Have not used it yet since there has been no occasion, but it should be perfect for daytrips. The only issue I have is it appears that it must be worn on the left shoulder and I am right handed and normally have purses on my right shoulder.

My daughter and I each have 2 if these bags. I live the easy to care for fabric and I believe it won't wear as much as the quilted fabrics usually do along high use areas like the straps. I live the pockets provided, but a real plus for me would be to have an additional large pocket on the inside main compartment of the bag. Everything is just in there on top if each other

I love this bag but what would make it 100% perfect would be a water bottle holder on the outside. The size is perfect for what I need to carry but I hate to put my water bottle in the main compartment so I have to hold it. I have a bad back so crossbody and sling bags are perfect for me.

Someone recommended the sling highly so I got one. Overall, I really the multiple pockets and find it very comfortable to wear. However, I noticed that numerous other bag makers designed their slings with two buckles at the base, allowing the wearer to carry the bag in the front or back on either the right or left shoulder, as they choose. Unfortunately, VB has only one buckle, limiting how I can carry this bag.

While it's a nice looking bag, and there are few usable pockets, the main portion of the zipper part of the bag is just wide open -- no side pockets to organize things -- I'll have to buy a separate one ti put inside

I do like this, it is just a bit bigger than I thought it would be. The zipper on the outer pocket I would like to see not open as it is cause I feel like things could fall out the way it opens around the corner

Love the design of this bag but not the print. The prints seem to be popular with everyone but me. Imho, They look like prints that old ladies would like.

it is an awkward fit. The construction of the backpack is good and the color is great. My only complaint is that it just doesn't fit or hang well on the body.

Great little bag for adventures

Handy

The bag is very stiff. And a little bigger than I thought it would be. I love Vera Bradley but not this texture.

The bag is very pretty but is larger than I wanted.
