Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Tote Bag

Love this bag. not too big not too small. straps are the perfect length. love that its made out of recycled bottles so I do not have to worry about it getting wet. love all the pockets inside helps keep me organized. i might buy another in a different pattern sometime in the future.

I bought this in the reactive gray and the black. I carry a tote for work in a hospital. I love the deep exterior pockets on both sides for my travel coffee mug and for bottles of water. There is elastic inside each pocket to keep them upright too. There is a long interior zip pocket that is plastic lined. There is plenty of room for a lap top, 3 ring binder, 2 cosmetic bags and I am able to pack a lunch too! I removed the crossbody strap as the smaller straps fit easily over my shoulder. The bag does stand up by itself with what I put in it too. It tucks well under the arm and doesn't seem bulky plus it' is also lightweight. I am used to the cloth totes so I'm hoping the corners on the reactive material hold up. So far so good. I love Vera Bradley quality. I purchase a lot of Vera Bradley but I do wait for items to go on sale before I make purchases. I also bought the cosmetic bag set , zip ID, and a lanyard to throw inside. I wasn't sure about a plastic zipper at first but it seems to be a heavy duty zipper so far. Love the interior fabric pattern but dislike the mesh. Vera, if you are listening please go back to fabric interior pockets!! The mesh doesn't retain its shape and can rip. My items inside the mesh pockets don't stand up but fall all over inside. I still gave it 5 stars though as it wasn't a deal breaker for me.

Great size with a lot of pockets which make for organized travel! Love it! The crossbody strap is an added plus because I'm going to use it as one of my carry ons and that makes it easier to use!

Very room.

It's perfect for me! I use it for work! Im an RMA for an orthopedic surgeon! Thank you!

The size is perfect for what I need and it is helping the environment.

Love the colors - perfect size!

I haven't used this tote bag yet. Bought it to use as a travel tote for some upcoming trips. Love the way it looks and feels. It's well organized to keep me organized! The straps and zippers seem sturdy and the outside pockets were a great idea. My favorite feature is the light colored interior. This tote is a replacement (sadly NOT Vera Bradley) for a previous travel tote that had a black interior and I could never find anything. So far I am completely satisfied with this tote. It'll be perfect for air travel.

This bag is super. Wonderful for an overnight or weekend stay. Beautiful.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas & she has been very pleased with it.

Honestly I bought it to be my hospital bag for my birthing of my son it's a nice size I love the print and the color and glad that I pick the recycled bottle bag because of the material and me now having a baby will make it very easy to wash I also have the sling back pack as well to match so excited about my purchase it's beautiful

I love this bag. It's a bit bigger than I expected, but I still love it. The fabric is made from an environmentally sustainably material, it has so many pockets and spaces, and it can be used in different contexts.

Love the bag. I use it for my lap top.

Looks bright n trendy

Love it! It's perfect size for my work bag. It's stylish tons of compartments. The best compartment is the side one there is a strap to hold my water bottle. The best option is I can use as a shoulder bag or messenger bag.

Beautiful style and pattern.

Hearty bag, so it's heavier. Located within each of the outer side pockets is an elastic strap for a water bottle which helps that pocket hold more than just the bottle! Now, my Christmas shopper bc of extra lists & coupons, plus room toss small purchases then easily place receipts into the mesh or zip pocket. This bag can switch to an outdoor spectator since the recycled bottles make it weather proof!

I really like it . It's is a nice size and can be wiped down for cleaning. Only down fall I'd you don't have the other pieces I wanted in this pattern.

This bag is fabulous!! It is not heavy, and has a place for everything I need.

Love this pattern and the material is great for a yoga bag. Would recommend this t6o anyone needing a gym bag.

I love the reactive fabric! Nice shoulder strap length. The 2 outside side pockets are great for larger drinks or my insulated cups. They sit deep in pocket so I don't have to worry about them popping out.

I was looking for a bag that would hold my shoes, towel, headphones, and other tidbits for my trip to the gym. This bag 100% fits that bill. I love the fabric since it can easily be cleaned with a wet rag.

I bought this bag to use for taking to the gym and ballet class. It is the perfect size to hold a pair of shoes, an outfit, and even my computer. It is lightweight and I love the the material and the colors. If you like yellow, this is the print to get-always makes me smile when I see it.

LVE this bag.

Love this bag. Its light to carry...even with the junk inside! Love that it can be wiped off...important in this time of pandemic!! So glad I purchased it.
