Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Performance Twill Vera Tote Bag

A great substitute for a purse! I had never used a small backpack before - it is a great size. Not a standard sized backpack - but more mini in size. Very comfortable to wear. My preteen daughter also wants one now.

The first couple of times I purchased Vera Totes I didn't like that they were wider than they were tall, and they seemed so awfully large as a purse, so I would return them, but the patterns & colors always drew me back in. I have the vines floral neutral which is gorgeous but I wasn't using it, and then it hit me one day to put a lined attractive trash receptacle into the Vera and use it for dry paper trash or paper recycling, and that way I see it every day and enjoy my useful Vera!

I love the print on one of my favorite everyday handbags.

Many thanks to the genius who came up with that little pocket at the top of this bag (right next to the zipper). The PERFECT spot for my car keys -- no more digging around the bottom of the bag for them! (Also holds my lipstick and Club Store Membership card -- no more shuffling my wallet at the front door of Costco) I was sort of prepared to be disappointed in the new tote (all the complaints about the new lining), and while I might miss that fluffy quilted cotton interior, that precious little pocket more than makes up for it!

Perfect for summer. I love it!!

I received the small iconic backpack by Vera Bradley and absolutely love it. It's super chic and I love the compact size. I was not aware of the small iconic line before but love the sleek black color and how it matches everything and won't show any messes easily. It has a small zipper compartment in the front for storing small items and as a new mom, I love it for quick trips with my almost 10 month old! It easily fits just enough stuff for us for a few hours without having to lug around a heavy diaper bag. I think this bag would also be great for small kids or half days at daycare! Love the quality and design!

This is a beautiful bag,with lots of room,with quality and beauty inside and outside of the bag,great for on the go, inflight bag,or just a bag that's beautiful and easy carry

I've been searching for a professional looking backpack to use for work. This backpack exceeded my expectations. It has just enough sections to store things without forgetting where I put something. It is very light, but durable.The backpack is easier to carry and this backpack is perfect and stylish A high quality product. Love it!! I have used other brand products too but this one is great i am love in it. I would love to but it and other items of this brand too. I was not aware before using it. I would definitely recommend it to everyone .

Love this bag, especially the inside pockets.

This is the prettiest backpack I've ever seen. Beautiful black on the outside and floral in. Plenty of storage room. Light and easy to carry. Made of quality material. Absolute winner.

The colors in this fabric go with nearly all of the colors in my wardrobe, so I never have to worry about my purse coordinating with my outfit. Lots of pockets and hidey-holes keep my 'stuff' organized and easy to find. Love it!!

Overall the backpack is a decent size and I love how it has smaller pockets in the main opening! It can hold quite a bit without being bulky. The front opening has pockets too but because of how it zips, it makes it a little difficult to use the inner pockets. I would recommend this to anyone who looks for a small everyday backpack to use!

This is easily one of the best quality backpacks I have. I can fit so much of my things in there and it doesn't look bulky or feel heavy. It's a small packpack, but fit's everything you need. Highly recommend!

This bag is amazingly versatile. Though I've mainly been using it as a replacement for my purse, this bag also makes a wonderful mini gym bag and daytime travel pack. While the design is very simple, it is incredibly well made with sturdy zippers and nice fabric that is easy to wipe should you get anything on it. I love that it has a pocket on the side that fits a water bottle. It also has a nice amount of pockets for keeping things organized. The only thing I really didn't care for was the interior fabric design. It appeals to a more mature taste, but is not a deal breaker for me. The straps are comfortable without being bulky. I would recommend this to anyone needing a basic but stylish bag for everyday life.

What a perfect little backpack! Vera Bradley's Iconic Small Backpack is absolutely perfect for city living. It fits all my essentials and a little more for running around on weekends to get my errands done. Also the very perfect little travel friend. Can't wait to keep showing this sweet little pack off!

Wow this bag is beautiful. I love the quilt like design and all the different pockets it has! The material is sturdy so I expect it to last a long time. I definitely recommend this back pack for those who are looking for a stylish and durable one.

The Vera Bradley Iconic Small Backpack is a very nice, versatile backpack. It's great for when you don't want to carry a purse, but still need something to carry your stuff in. Plus, the sleek design makes it look more adult and less child-like. Mine will be used as a small diaper bag for quick trips with the little one.

Size is perfect and the pattern will last me all summer and into fall! Love it!

This bag is amazing. Absolutley gorgeous quality, love the lining and quilted effect. I was going to use this just for on the motorcycle because it's a great size but I'm switching it to my everyday bag especially since small backpacks are completely on trend right now.

I bought it to more easily carry and organize my craft club supplies. I already had the smaller one in paisley stripe for work and realized how well it would work for craft club.

My daughter uses a lanyard for school so we have to get a new Vera Bradley lanyard every year. She loves it! Very pretty pattern!

Functional and cute!

Big and lots of pockets!

I now have 2 Vera Bradley bags and they have become my favorites!!

This suited my needs, which is why I ordered it.
