Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Small Backpack

I have loved backpack purses for years. This is my 1st VB one. It's comfortable and I love a purse big enough to hold a book/kindle. I love that the main compartment has 2 zippers. Two minor changes I'd make are: 1) make the open back pocket a zippered pocket for security and 2) make the front pocket zip over the top of the pocket instead of across the front. It's a little awkward the way it is with the wasted space inside the top of the pocket once it's zipped open. Overall I am happy with it and will carry it on many adventures to come.

The backpack is super cute, but my iPad Pro won't fit well in it. Unfortunately I had to return, otherwise this is a great backpack.

I ordered it online and even though I carefully read the dimensions, I didn't realize until it arrived that it is significantly smaller than my previous Vera Bradley backpack purse that served me well for many years. I am glad this one has numerous pockets, but I wish it were a little larger overall and that the side pockets were larger so I could put a 16 oz. water bottle in one of them. I also like the wide straps as it's very comfortable to wear on my back.

It would've been better another inch taller and wider. Also the end pouches can't fit a water bottle

It's a beauty! I previously used an older model with two large compartments and more pockets and zippers. Loved everything about it except the lack of water resistance. Hopefully this new one will repel rain. But I really miss the second compartment and additional pockets of the old one.

love the color but i wish you all hadnt changed the way the small backpack was made , the compact essentail backpack design was much better and held more in the frount pocket, please bring back the small essential backpack design.

This is a lovely pattern, and I enjoy using it. I have a great amount of these bags and change them frequently.

I love the chicken design of this mini backpack. In fact I love the backpack and it is the right size. The only issue I have is that there is only one handle on top and this handle is small. All other backpacks I have owned had two handles, one on the front and one on the back. But overall I really like this backpack.

This backpack was not as attractive as I thought that it would be. I will still use it since I love the color blue.

It is a little smaller than I imagined in terms of depth, but it's still very cute. Oddly, I ordered two of these in different designs, and this Gray Perennial one didn't come with a pocket on the back under the shoulder straps, and the other one did. Still functional though. I did custom embroidery and it turned out nice.

Light, well made, roomy and the lots of thoughtful pockets. Many choices in colors

Everything is great except it doesn't fit my water bottle.

Love the color and the water- repellant material. PLENTY of pockets to put in everything you need without having to search for them later. My only complaint is that the straps somehow are wide-set and they keep falling off my shoulders. Regardless, I'm keeping it and I've gotten quite a few compliments.

Nice backpack the quality was not quite what I had hoped. But it I do like it. Size was perfect for me.

I really like the backpack. However it was a little smaller than I expected

Cute. Wish it had more features.

I really like this small backpack for everyday use. Has lots of pockets to keep items organized. I like the pattern too!

Love the backpack. But it came all flattened in a plastic bag. Packed it full of towels . After 10 days, the creases are beginning to go away.

Haven't used yet but love the print. It is my first little backpack.

Love the design but a little small for a backpack

Cute print, but smaller than I'm looking for.

I love the baggg... like I really love it... it's just way smaller than what I was expecting..

Love this bag. I wish it were a tad bigger. Thankfully, I am a petite person so I don't look like Dora the explorer. But I am a little self conscious about how it looks on my back.

I love the size of the bag as I have several bit this one collects a lot of lint. I have another that's the material is quilted but different as to not collect lint. So I don't use this one as much.
