Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Travel Duffel Bag

This bag is exquisite. The quality is first rate and the patterns are really beautiful. I appreciate that the patterns range from really vibrant to more understated tastes. Please note that the photos and videos do not prepare you for the gargantuan nature of this bag. It is HUGE and may take some getting used to. All that said, I feel pure joy when I look at this bag. Love it!

I was so thrilled to find this bag. Gorgeous and huge. However, when I tired to fit it over 2 different suitcases - the sleeve was not wide enough. One suitcase is a Delsey - carry on it was possible when the duffel was empty but only with a lot of concentrated effort. The other bag is a 25 inch TravelPro. Again, It fits the distance between the two metal bars of the suitcase handle but not over the larger -built up handle TravelPro designed for a comfort grip. Too bad - another 3/4 of an inch and it would have made it. I will have to return it tomorrow.

While this travel bag is sophisticated it's also quite practical & functional. Larger than the Weekender but still regulation air-travel compliant (I hope! haven't put in overhead bin yet). I treated myself to this for my next trip; very roomy and has my fave....pockets for stuff too.

I just received the Travel Duffel Bag in Ikat with Black Spots and am very impressed. It's absolutely stunning, classic in every way, and it's style appears to be a hybrid between the Grand Traveler, Get Carried Away Tote & Large Duffel. It's more spacious than these three larger sized VB travel pieces and offers a trolley sleeve and thoughfully designed organization/pocket placement. This bag is huge and I love the wipe clean exterior and interior fabric. The sturdy yet pliable base gives this bag structure to help keep it from looking saggy when not fully loaded. I also purchased the Preppy Poly Travel Organizer in Black to go with it. Vera Bradley finally designed a feminine looking travel piece without all the flowers - THANK YOU

I bought this bag in the exotic floral and needless to say I am obsessed. It is my all time favorite bag and probably the most beautiful one too. It's a little more stiff as compared to all of the quilted Vera Bradley travel bags I own, but it is super durable and is great for my weekend travels. Normally, I am not one to spend this much on a bag, but it was so worth it! Highly recommend this product!

This is not only the most beautiful Vera Bradley bag I have seen, it is the most beautiful bag I have ever seen from any designer. I was beginning to think that the company was concentrating only on students. However, this brought renewed excitement. It is refined and high-end. I'm concerned that it went immediately on sale because it makes me wonder about their intentions with this type of product. All I know is that after I saw this one, I went and bought another along with the other travel bag and the large tote. I can't wait to use them for years to come.

Perfect travel bag!

It is a gift which hasn't been given yet. I have one I bought several years ago and I love it. I have let my daughter borrow it a few times and she loved it. This is why I am giving her one for Christmas.

This travel duffel has great features (especially a trolley sleeve and outer pockets) and love the reactive fabric (so light). Really want to see this in a smaller version (16 x 12 x 6 inches) that would fit under a plane seat.

It's working out great has become my go to bag for weekend trips. It's roomy and allows me to pack my hiking gear or anything I might need for weekend fun at festivals. The material is great repels water and spills. I absolutely love the add on strap for over the shoulder carrying.

I needed a duffel bag for an upcoming weekend trip and went to my trusty Very Bradley to take a look at their options. Not only was I able to find a reasonably priced, high-quality bag, but it was large enough to pack everything that I needed. The only reason I gave 4 stars was that it took longer than expected to get to my destination with expedited shipping.

Love the beautiful colors and durable fabric.

Love! Perfect size for weekend trips, sturdy and super cute. I got mine monogrammed and loveee it. 12/10 would recommend

I love it!!!

great size, although it could use interior zipper compartments

This bag is absolutely HUGE. You can pack a week's worth of clothes in this bag. I love the style and design. Would be better if it also came in a version with wheels.

The bag was purchased as a Christmas gift. The bag appears as described. The recipient appeared to like it and felt it would be purposeful as the overnight bag she desired. The monogramming appeared off to me. The smaller letters appeared to be different sizes.

Bag is too small for my use

The bag is great quality but the colors are not as pictured. The pictured colors are more soft and pastel-looking but the actual product has much darker, vibrant, bright colors. I would have returned this bag if I hadn't had it monogrammed.

My niece loves this pattern. It was a gift fir her birthday. Especially loves the monogran

My strap broke on the first carry. Usually, I have great experience with the bags so not sure what happened here.

The images online are nothing like what arrived. "Raspberry sorbet" is a bright, hot pink and not what I want or expected at all. I will be returning, but the picture is so far off from the real color that VB should fix this.

The size is nice and roomy with practical pockets on the sides for shoes and wet items. However, the reactive material seems like a gym bag material. I didn't like it so I'm returning.

The bag is great however a snap to the handle had already fallen off when I opened it.

Very dissatisfied with this bag, not what I expected from Vera Bradley
