Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Small Backpack

Quality is good except for the straps. They used to be all padded, but now the material they use cuts into your arm pits. Wish they would go back to the original st yle with three compartments, one in the back also and the old style straps. Loved the pattern!

I bought this for my granddaughter. She likes the color. It's good for a child. Only complaint is the straps are hard to adjust

I really wanted a Black Vera Bradley purse, so I got this one. It's the perfect size for me and useful when I need to add lots of items for traveling, etc. However the purse is already stretching out and loosing some threads.

Love the fabric and color! Lots of interior pockets. Just wish the bottom was a bit sturdier.

This is the perfect size bag to carry you wristlet, planner, snacks/lunch, and your thermos of water. Note it is NOT large enough for a laptop; however, plenty of room for a tablet. RFID protects your ID and CC. I love that secret pocket for my cell phone!!! Highly recommend it to anyone who works in an office!! 4 1/2 Stars !

my favorite part of this bad bar the interior pockets They are perfect for my umbrella, sunglass case, laptop charging case, makeup bag etc. If I could change one thing it would be for the base of the bag to be just a little bit bigger so it could fit my lunchbox. I carry a fairly slim laptop to small spiral calendars and an iPad for work Fitting the lunchbox would be ideal as I hate having to carry it separately.

I absolutely love the organization in this type of bag. The only thing that would have made it five stars instead of four would be to have four silver feet on the bottom to protect the fabric from when you set it down on the floor. Otherwise it's perfect!

The Vera small Tote is one of my favorite! When I saw the new in twill Olive leaf I had to ordered it. The color is a bit darker then it shows online. But still love it! Probably willl order the lavender one as well.

Love the bag style and pattern. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be but all I'm all I'm pleased

Although I love it, I wish it were available in a smaller version. I miss the Mandy purses. I would buy several if they came back.. they were the smaller version of the tote bag

Like design of shells & all pockets

Love the size

this bag is replacing my worn out 8-year old pink Vera Bradley bag. I wish you still made that style (don't remember the name) but it was similar to this Small Vera Tote; slightly larger & the best part was that it had side pockets on each end of the bag. I'm a high school Special Ed Paraeducator & typically "float" around the campus; so I don't have a dedicated space for my school stuff -- that old pink bag was perfect because I could put my 32 oz water bottle in the end side pocket. I don't need a huge bag & this size is a bit smaller that my old one; but it is working -- except for the fact that I have to now carry my water separately-- I know; first world problem! Otherwise, I love all the separate inside pockets -- holds my cell phone, kleenex, chapstick, White-Out, Post-Its, pens, markers; you get the idea -- almost perfect bag -- bring back the side pockets!!

Quality you'd come to expect from a Vera. Nothing earth shattering in this purse, but a pretty, understated pattern (this is reviewing Plaza Tile) and typical useful pockets. I wish the strap could extend to give the option of a crossbody since this purse is smaller.

I like the way it holds so much, unyet its not a big backkpack.

It's beautiful. Well made. Fast processing And shipping.

I really like the look and convenience of a tote, but I wish there was one a little smaller. Maybe 10 inch by 10 inch. I don't carry a lote in my purse, just my wallet, car fob and phone, a small writing tablet and pens, so this tote is large. I do love carrying it because it's easy to find what I need.

I love the look and feel of the small Vera tote in Bloom Boom Navy! I just wish the back had an outer pocket for my phone.?

In terms of size, it's perfect as a teacher bag. It has plenty of pockets inside and a zipper pocket on the outside. The only negative thing is the fabric does get dirty and pick up lint very easily. Other than that- I love it!

I love it, but anticipated a smaller item. Won't fit in crossover bag. Also, my phone won't fit in the designated plce. It's okay, I just re-designated spaces.

This is the first time I purchased a Vera Bradley bag. I have an older satchel bag that was given to me and I love it so much but it was getting worn so I decided to splurge and buy a new bag. I love it. The only thing I was a little disappointed because the inside pockets are not quilted like older one.

Great backpack but my sweatshirt sheds onto the backpack and there is cotton all over my backpack but otherwise it is PERCECT!

A bit larger than I needed, but it is beautifully crafted and serviceable

Just what I was looking for on a small tote. Lots of pockets inside and out.

Love it-fulfills my needs and looks so good!!
