Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Sling Backpack

3

I like the size of the sling bag but with each zipper compartment the lining material is too much and continues to get stuck in the zipper. It's annoying and frustrating

I really like this style bag. It holds a lot if u r out on a day trip or even a vacation BUT I was really disappointed in the picture representation versus actual pattern. Online it looked like a true blue with deep blue zippers. That was the reason I purchased it. I loved the blue. Actual product looks almost faded pattern and zippers not a brilliant blue.

The pattern rose is pretty. It's much bigger than I thought it would be, I wanted a mini bag to carry with me everywhere but this just looks silly because it's big and I don't like the way its pointed and folds down at the top.

Doesn't have the organization that I expected from Vera Bradley. I do like convenience of sling and like the print but wish there were inside pockets.

I have a sherpani sling bag which has more pockets and zippers and better made for the same price. No one can beat Vera's patterns though.

It only fits comfortably and contours properly if worn over your left shoulder. It would get a perfect score if it could contour over either shoulder. There is no way to connect the strap to the opposite side to accomplish this. Product quality is great as far as seams, zippers, pockets, etc.

Nice bag, sturdy material and great buckles straps. I decided to return it because it didn't have a water spot and perhaps needed another pocket.

I do love the sling bag but I wish I could switch sides, over the right instead of left. Also, the lining keeps getting stuck in the large zipper.

I like it, but the zippers get stuck a lot.

This bag is not the quality of the same bag i purchased 2 years ago! I

I love the backpack's design and color. Unfortunately the zippers keep getting stuck. It is very frustrating.

Love the pattern but the zipper keeps catching on the liner.

Bag is beautiful and has plenty of room. However, the zipper on the back pocket came with fabric stuck inside, making that pocket essentially useless.

A beautifully made bag in a rather ugly fabric. It will serve the purpose.

I love the bag but the zipper always gets stuck

I have been using a vb backpack for 10+ years. She got this over the weekend was disappointed in the size of the puches/zipper sections. It is very awkward but probably because I am used to the backpack. Unfortunately, on-line orders are non-returnable. The Enchanted Mandala Blue is awesome. I have gotten lots of compliments on the material and given lots of opinions about not liking the sling. As a teacher, I love the backpack, but getting older it was becoming more difficult and tiresome on this ole back.

I love the pattern, but construction is a pain. The liner material on 3 of the zippers is always getting caught in the zippers, which is bad when in check out lines and can't get to wallet.

Disappointing material and color not as shown in picture. I have returned it.

I purchased one of these bags about a year or so ago and I loved it so much that I wanted another one and a different color. Was very disappointed though, because the lining on the inside of the new, bag is not as nice as the lining was on the original sling backpack I purchased. The lining in my new bag keeps getting stuck in the zipper and it's very cheap. Not a nice material. Really really disappointing Vera Bradley.. it's not the first time that I have a bag I really like and get it in a different color and the lining comes back less quality than the original one.. the sling back is a favorite of mine convenient hands-free, but just disappointed in the quality.

It's okay, kind of smaller then I thought

I was attracted by the price and even more so by the expandable feature. But, the top zipper is not the best.

Wished it was wuilted

I would have given this product a 5-star review, but the lining keeps catching in the zipper.

I was excited to get this sling, but when I fully adjusted it to fit comfortably across my body, I found that there was no place to store the foot and a half of excess strap that was just flailing about. Not exactly practical or safe if I took this somewhere where pickpocketing is common. I also wasn't thrilled with the quality of the stitching on it. Felt very loose in spots. I expect better from Vera.
