Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Sling Backpack

I struggle with using this because it cannot be adjusted from left to right or right to left. I would like to see it made so one could adjust the side on which one can wear it. I have noticed that some make the strap with a clip and two rings on the bottom so one can pick which side it could be worn on.

I want to like this bag, and I'll probably end up keeping it, but I'm also finding it a bit awkward to wear and it kind of sits at an undesirable spot across the front. I do like the fabric and the amount of room, but I can easily see all of my stuff getting jostled around and ending up in a mess inside.

I liked the material but the bag was too big. I have looked at the mini sling but I really like the mini backpack and cannot find one. Do y'all still have them and in the same material and colors.

The strap to make the bag smaller is so long when the bag is made to have a sitter strap.

Lots of pockets but i have already had to have the zipper replaced

I have not used it yet it looks great but thought it would be more cloth then read it was recycled material . It will probable not get as dirty as reg cloth bags

It is ok - but I was specifically looking for a tennis bag. I searched Vera Bradley Tennis Bag and this came up. It is much to small to be used as a tennis bag, so I sold it to a friend for her daughter to use at school.

material is nice. size is smaller than i expected, doesn't even hold a regular sized notebook

I love the material and the pattern is beautiful (garden picnic) but I do not like the style at all. I really wanted to try something different but I'm disappointed. It feels heavy and bulky. I wanted to love this bag. I got a great deal on it with my birthday coupon so I hate to return it but I want a new purse I will love.

Bigger than I thought it was going to be. This is the first item I have purchased that I felt like this. Everything else I have is wonderful

Your sling purse didn't have any INSIDE zippers. No inside rings to attach car or house keys for rapid finding. These are two huge mistakes. Would not purchase again without knowing these were put in. Suggest you put ring toward top of zipper. I have another brand of sling that far exceeds the outside flaps for access. Cannot remember the name...

I wasn't happy with fabric or coloring of flowers. It was a gift...she liked it..but I was disappointed. I have purchased other vera bags, this one didn't seem like it was the quality I'm used to. I thought I had been scammed and had bought a knick off till I saw the price tag n vera tag.

the lining is hinky and *always* gets stuck in the zipper. a slight inconvenience most of the time but legit maddening when its 9 degrees out and i cant get my keys out. love the print and get lots of compliments on the bag, but im quick to tell people the lining is problematic.

Not the same quality as the original lines of sling backpacks. Less wide, less padding. Seems smaller. Not hanging on my body and holding items the same way as compared with the citrus paisley bag, Even missing the logo tab that was in the citrus paisley sling bag. Are they made with different material, then that would explain it?

To big, well built wasn't what I wanted

I was disappointed that there were no pockets on the inside like a regular sling purse.

I was really excited to get this bag. I love the grey color and it's super functional and works for me. The issue I have with it is the fabric on the inside isn't down down and gets caught in the zipper. I don't know if this is poor design or poor quality, but I'm disappointed.

But unfortunately the sling style of this backpack just doesn't work for mereturned it and exchanged it for the small Vera tote bag, and that's a much better fit for me! Wish that Vera didn't charge such a high fee for the exchange!!! Been a customer for over 20 years!!!!

I had this bag from a few years ago and loved it. I bought another one because my original bag went missing. The fabric feels much more flimsy and the large pocket is hard to zip because the inside liner keeps getting stuck.

Too big

This was way too large for me. I'm short and this did not work for my body type.

This crossbody is not practical. The buckle on the strap falls in a awkward place on back and shoulder. The buckle, when worn on the back is very accessible and easy to unclip, making it not good for theft prevention. For a smaller waist it doesn't work when worn around waist it's too big even adjusted to the smallest setting.

The crossbody strap was too short. I wasn't able to get it to proper length.

It's not that comfortable
