Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Drawstring Family Tote Bag

Smells bad

Great size. It is my first piece from this material choice so I wasn't expecting it to feel like plastic but the flamingo colors are great.

I wish it had a padded area for the shoulder strap and a side pocket for a water bottle. Otherwise I love this bag. It's a great size and the pattern is beautiful!

The designs are great. I like the bright colors. I have several pieces if Vera Bradley.

Love the color and pattern. I use it for my kids swimming and horseback riding classes. Holds everything. The drawstring helps keep everything inside.

While it is a nice size, I used the pictures to gage the size. Fir my family I would have liked it larger

Nice and big for the beach lake. Great print. Exactly as advertised. My only disappointment was it smelled Really bad when it arrived. I had to air it out for a few days.

I have only used this a few days but I wish it had a key loop and that the small side pocket (I use for my phone) had a closure (maybe something magnetic). The print is pretty and I like the reactive fabric and it's a great size for carrying all the "stuff" we travel with regularly for sports/activities with 6 kids.

This bag makes a great beach bag!

This is great. Would only change the drawstring location to the halfway point of the bag.

Perfect size, style, and color. I would prefer an option of a zip closing and pull closing. Used it for Day surgery at hospital. Perfect for clothes, electronic and snack bag and water.

The bag seems great. I wanted something to fit everything in one bag. I would have liked to have some interior pockets for organization but will make do with a couple of smaller accessories.

Food, towels, bathing suit whatever you need to take with you. More than enough room.

Well made love that it's water proof. Due to size/depth wish there were more inside pockets so the smaller items don't get lousy way at the bottom. Don't particularly care for the draw string meeting.

I ordered this bag to replace a Thirty-one bag that is peeling on the inside leaving pieces all over everything I carry. I use it to carry my swimming stuff to the YMCA so want waterproof. I have a few Vera Bradley bags and love them but this is a new fabric for me. I struggled with picking the right size. This is bigger than I estimated but it is still great. I love the material. It is thick and sturdy without the applied layer on the inside which is the problem with my current bag. This one should last a long time. The print is beautiful. Being dark I don't anticipate any problem keeping it clean, while the pastel print keeps a touch of femininity. The inner net pocket on the inside is big enough to hold my phone, keys, and jewelry keeping it easy to find. The outer pocket is almost hidden and waterproof. It is very big and zips closed. That pocket works great for comb, sunscreen, and even a few snacks if needed. The net extension will be good if I take the grandkids with me and have additional towels and clothes to add to my bag. The handles are long enough to carry over the shoulder without being so long that the bag flops around. It is overall a great bag. a few inches smaller and I would call it perfect.

This bag is huge . I'm sure I won't forget anything just hope it doesn't get lost inside the bag. Just wish it had some slip pockets inside.

Great quality items.

I think this bag will be great for traveling I'm looking forward to my next trip with it. My cat loves the pink bags you ship your products in. We've worn out one and I had to order this bag to get him another one. He plays in it and even takes catnaps in the pink bag.

I love the design of the bag however I am disappointed that it didn't come in more color choices.

Love the bag and the pattern. It could use more pockets inside and one more outside. I took it to the beach and I was able to fit everything inside.

Waterproof fabric is excellent for beach bag. Sand removal net is fantastic. 2 pockets are good, but an interior way to collect all your sunscreen, lop balm, bug spray, goggles, ear plugs, inhaler, and maybe wallet would have been helpful. Size is generous: I know I can get 4 towels in there! Handles are made of silky material that is easy on bare shoulders. Color and pattern of fabric very pleasing to admire, even from pool as I swim laps. Excellent purchase; highly recommend.

I do like this bag but was hoping for a bit larger. It's hard to determine exactly what the pockets and compartments will be. I do love the side slit where my iPhone fits perfectly!

This is a great tote bag. I use it for water aerobics classes. It is large enough to carry at least two extra large bath towels and other essentials. The outside is waterproof and has a flat bottom. The bag can stand upright on its own. I would prefer a large zipper across the top to close the bag entirely so passersby do not see what is inside the bag. I would also prefer a zippered pocket on the inside for glasses, car keys, gym membership and mask. The handles are the perfect length and the fabric is soft on bare skin. Beautiful quality.

Wish the magnetic pocket was bigger (to fit a smartphone) and wish the same pocket was within the drawstring area, not on outside part of bag. Other than that, definitely great size (I bought it to take boating) and love both the type of fabric and design.
