Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Small Backpack

This is my second backpack in this size. I also have a campus pack I use for travel but it is too big for me for every day. The small size is nearly perfect. I say nearly because I miss having a zipper pocket on the outside between the straps against my back. My old pack from another company had this and it was nice for things I don't want easily reached. Other than that I am very pleased with the size and pattern.

I like the Vera small tote because it has lots of pockets for keeping things organized. Would have like a little more subdued pattern, but this one fits in with my beach house.

Wish it had a secure zipper pocket inside for id, phone, and card but perfect size for my gym class. Can hold a water bottle, towel, and wipes.

I absolutely love the pattern and the softness of the cotton. I also like that it has so many pockets. I only gave it four stars though because the external pockets could be more functional. For example, my Lug brand mini backpack has magnetic closure for the water bottle pockets and Velcro closure for the back pocket. These little touches make that bag much more functional than the VB.

I bought this for my mom for Mother's Day. She loves the pattern, but says this wallet is small.

Great colors and size. Just wish it had more support on the bottom of the bag.

Beautiful pattern. I purchased the butterfly tote. Well made. Enjoy all my totes.

Love the colors and its just the right size

I wish the bottom was vinyl or had feet to protect it. Vinyl straps would of been nice.

I adore the print on this bag, and like the style. My only wish is that in came in a size a little larger, but not as large as the regular Vera Tote. Add a large zip pocket on the back and I would buy one in every color/print. Quality of the bag is superb, but then they always are!

I wish it was just a bit smaller so I could use as a purse. The purse size is too small and this one is too big! I need a size in between!!

I bought this for my job I.D. I love the fact that it hold my I.D. and more. But I have to take my I.D. out of the case to scan to get into the parking garage.

I like the back pack but I would have preferred to have a zippered pocket in the back of the backpack

Love all the room and all the secured compartments. My problem is I can't use like a back pack. I'm a queen size lady in my 70's and would have preferred some type of a single strap to sling over ,my shoulder, and the straps that are on it don't quite work that way. Otherwise, I Love It!

I love this pattern. I would've given it 5 stars, but I miss the leather straps and how sturdy the bags used to be.

Love this bag. Just the right size. Fits everything I need

I like the bag a lot just wish the straps weee longer to make it comfortable to put on my shoulder. I like the many pockets inside but just not exactly what I wanted to carry as a purse

I LOVE the Vera Tote Bag. It has always been one of my favorites. The Microfiber Classic Black is a sleek color that is great for professional events where you need a larger bag to pack binders, books, etc. My only complaint is I wish these had side pockets on the outside also(not just the slip and zip pocket on the front, which are also great for cellphone/keys). This would make the bag perfect! Otherwise, holds up very well and has plentiful pockets on the inside for smaller items.

It would be nice for it to come in the original prints from years ago or just a little bit smaller as in the padt

I love my new tote, but it does not seem to be as sturdy as years prior.

Love the bag. Had it monogrammed and unfortunately I selected the red thread but when it arrived it was orange.

I love the bag. I had a 25 percent off and I ordered a bag with it but it was out of stock. So then I had to reorder and it wouldn't let me use the 25 off again so that was a bummer. I still love the bag.

It's cute and it's a pretty blue. The butterflies are a little strange looking. Why they couldn't put cuter ones on it, I don't know. It's small and it's not soft. That's for sure. I think I'm keeping it but I'm not sure. Still deciding.

Liked the different fabric, but the print was a bit of a surprise when it arrived. It doesn't look like what is in the picture. There is more white then I expected. I also expected orange but it is more pink (maybe salmon but that would be a stretch). Of course I will keep the purse. However that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of the usual 5--very busy print with lots of white.

It's a beautiful bag. The only reason I didn't give it a five star is it's not as soft as the other Vera bags I have. They're all well made. I just want the softness back.
