Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Utility Large Backpack

Love the material and color would differently buy again !!

I love everything about this bag.. plenty of space n pockets, love how my name came out I'm so ready for my cruise

She puts all her gym and dance gear in it (shoes and all). All fits and the bag doesn't look like a hiking bag. Works well!

Ordered this backpack because I wanted a travel backpack with lots of pockets and this backpack has just that!! Useful pockets everywhere, that are different sizes which is great. I got the black, I love how it looks and the quality is great. I know it'll last a long time. So excited to keep using it!

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my daughter, who was having difficulty finding a big enough backpack for all her art supplies and books that she hauls around. I took it upon myself to choose for her, and she was totally HOOKED! Love the versatility and femininity of this one, since she's a young tween. The price was a plus as well!

The color pop and all of the compartments make this a perfect travel bag!

Our granddaughter loved the backpack with all the separate compartments.

My daughter is a traveling Nicu nurse and goes back and forth from Florence, Ky to Denver, Co several months at a time. This bag held all of her things with a place for everything! She said it's perfect!!

Daughter in law asked for these two items and was delighted with both. Quality, beauty and functionality all in one!

Gift for my wife. She loved it

this is so cute great quality and has many pockets and it's the prettiest color

I love how it fits my large laptop. Color and fabric is great! Very comfy straps and love the two water bottle holders

Absolutely love everything about this backpack and is just what I had been searching for! I was counting on this being the last travel backpack I would ever need but my husband backed over it on our first trip and ripped a hole in it. The fabric is very durable but not a match for a 2,000 pound vehicle dragging it on pavement! If I can't repair it, I will definitely replace it with an exact match.

My daughter loves her new backpack! The solid color on the outside with design fabric on the inside of all the pockets is very appealing to her and her college friends. She was so thrilled with this product she went out and bought the small utility backpack, as well! The large one will be for textbooks and her laptop and the small one will be used as a purse when she is not having classes.

Beautiful! The initials were perfect. Came faster than I expected!

I never bought a Vera bag before. I'm not a big paisley print/ calico print girl. But I was searching for a carry on personal item for a trip overseas and this fit my airline's specifications perfectly compared to other backpacks and bags. It wasn't too big and it has so much room! I love the look. The straps are really comfortable..very impressed with the quality. And I caught a good sale. Woo! Love it in blue too.

I had an old Vera backpack (a Campus one I believe) that I was using for work. However, my new job requires carrying around a lot of cables and cords, and I was sick of them tangling up in a larger pocket. The small pockets on the front of this pack are perfect for keeping everything separate. One pouch has my computer charger, another my phone charger, another my HDMI cord and clicker, and the final one has my wireless mouse. The laptop sleeve fits my gigantic work laptop and my pad folio with room to spare. The main pocket has a small zip pouch, and a larger sleeve pouch. I have my planner, pencil case, coin purse with headphones, etc., a small Vera cosmetic bag, my glasses case, my wallet, a book for lunch, and a snack in the main compartment and it's not overstuffed. The side pockets are really deep: I have sunglasses in one side that are completely covered. The other one has my work phone (iPhone XR) and my keys. A skinny water bottle would fit, but a larger one (I have a 32 oz hydro flask) would be too thick. This doesn't bother me, since my hydro flask doesn't normally fit in backpack pockets. One final positive: it might just be how I packed mine, but it sits upright really well.

I cannot wait to use this backpack on my next trip! It holds everything I need to bring for work plus all the essentials for air travel. My laptop, iPad, phone, a book or two, and a change of clothes easily fit to carry on the plane.

Got my backpack super fast. It perfect

Cute bag, got lots of compliments

I have chemo coming up and needed something to organize all my books, small blanket, meds, phone, snacks, readers, ipad, charger. This is perfect size. It holds all my things and organizes them perfect. There was a mistake on my first backpack with the embroidery. Vera Bradley made it good within days! The embroidery is beautiful. Their customer service is great. I have several Vera Bags. They are constructed well, soft, but sturdy.

I enjoy Vera Bradley products, they last longer than other company materials. My daughters have the backpacks and carry tote.

Love it

I love it thank you

This backpack fits everything I need in a day so well! Everything has its place. All of the pockets are easy to access and stuff doesn't get forgotten. The color is gorgeous! It shifts from a dark wine color to a deep purple depending on the lighting. As an added quality, every inch of fabric is padded. All of my belongings feel safe and secure. I honestly love this bag!
