Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Sling Backpack

This was my first purchase from Vera Bradley. I was pleased with my purchase. The backpack allows for hand free, can be worn in the front or back, and has several compartments. It is bigger than I expected.

I like it but I thought I was ordering the small sling.

The bag is very roomy. The only downfall of this bag is that once the strap is adjusted it doesn't stay it slides. Also I would prefer it to be worn on the right shoulder as opposed to it being made to be worn on the left shoulder

Good quality. Just a bit bigger than expected.

Perfect size for me. I am a little disappointed that ir doesn't stay on my shoulder better; keeps sliding down my arm, and I had bought this style because I thought it wouldn't do that. Still like and use it though! Love the placement of all the zippered compartments, very useful.

I love it but the straps aren't long enough for me so I gave it to my niece. Maybe because I had a heavy coat on being it was very cold, so it was tight around my neck.

This was a bit larger and heavier than I expected, but it was a gift for my daughter. Haven't heard if she's used it yet. The lining is beautiful! Hopefully it will last a long time as expected.

Love my little bag

Bigger than I thought it was going to be. Love the pattern, but will not use it for what I thought.

Great fabric and pretty print. This is my second bag of this type and easy to carry

The strap on this bag was twisted when I received it. I had to cut off the end of the strap in order to get the strap out of the buckle. I was then able to thread the strap correctly in the buckle. I tried hard to get the strap untwisted without cutting off the end but couldn't. I would buy another purse again as I've never had this happen before.

Use it for the gym.

Love love this purse, can't believe i got all my stuff in it, my only drawback, it won't stay on my shoulder, keeps sliding off, it needs something on the strap that's slide proof.

Very nice. Can't wait to take it on a trip!

This purchase received a 4 because there is flower pattern inside and i got this for my husband He"s not happy at all.. I have a new bag

It's great.

I love my backpack! The material is perfect- easy to keep clean. The pattern is as beautiful in person as in pictures. My only complaint is that the zipper to the main compartment gets stuck on the interior lining frequently. I did figure out that if I pull up (away from interior) as I am zipping, that tends to prevent it from getting stuck. But overall I am very happy with my purchase!

I had a sling bag years ago and loved it so I thought I would try again. This one is much better organized but I catch the main zipper a lot so I need to train myself to be sure I am tipping it far enough back so the contents are pulling the lining back away from the zipper.

I find the bag clumsy and difficult to manage. Also one of the zippers is already getting caught on the fabric, and since I am 77 with shaky hands, the strap clasp is difficult for me to open and close. Otherwise this is a quality bag for someone younger and stronger than me.

The material was a lot thinner than I anticipated and the zipper is rough going up and down.

this backpack is comfy and the wallet fits in it nicely.

Seems like a nice size, should hold everything I need, while being easy on my shoulder. Background is a pale blue that I didn't notice in the picture. Would like to use it now but seems too summery. Maybe by January or February Iwill need a lift.

Bought to replace the original sling, also VB I've had for 3 or 4 years. The style and functionality of the bag is the same as my old one. What I do not like is...the new zipper..looks to be lower quality. It keeps snagging on the material when I zip and unzip the bag. The material is much more thin and not as water resistant. The original I had when it first came out...was my go to bag. This bag is no different I still reach for this bag and prefer it over my handbags and totes. I just hope this bag lasts as long as my original and more!

Love the hands free aspect. The print and sturdiness are great. The one problem is that the lining frequently gets caught in the zipper. Pretty aggravating.
