Vera Bradley Womens Cotton Large Travel Duffel Bag

Looks just like the pictures love it for traveling

On the front pocket which is a zip pocket the stitching on the right side of the pocket was a little uneven compared to the left side. As the seamstress Im very attentive to these things. So anyway for a Vera Bradley, I was surprised. I had to use it quickly so I just kept it so now I will just keep it as it is. A little disappointed.

Beautiful bag. Pattern is gorgeous. Bag is sturdy and large

I purchased a large Vera Bradley travel duffel some years ago (probably around 10), and it has been my go-to weekend and short trip bag. I found this pattern on VB.com and thought I would search Amazon; lo and behold a few pieces in this pattern are regularly on sale. I initially thought this was slightly smaller than my older duffel. It seems to be the same size, if not a 1/4-1/2 slimmer all around, and I attribute that to the age of my first duffel. Notable improvements on the new bag are slip pockets on both ends, vs. only one. Long padded shouler strap (and YES this does come with one), vs. not even a hook to add one on the old. Slip and a zip pocket on the side, vs. no side pocket. Three mesh slip pockets on the inside, vs. no inside pockets on the old. Two top zippers on new duffel to accommodate left or right hand zip, vs.only one. The bottom of the new duffel is gusseted all the way around, where the old bag has gusseting on each end. Looks like only a different means to give it structure. I love that VB has added a shoulder strap option, because my old bag will not stay on my shoulder. Usually at least one falls off, or both, which usually messes up my entire trip from the car to my destination when the bag falls to my elbow. The only note I will make about perceived negative change is the carry handle does not wrap around the whole bag, It stops at the bottom gusset stitch on each side. I think this could, over time, weaken the structure and the carry handle fray off as it gets older under heavy use. Overall, excited to be adding TWO new Java Navy Camo pieces (Utility Travel Tote is the other) for the first time in years. Other commenters have said VB is not on the bag anywhere. There is a tag inside. This is not a knock-off. To stay in business, companies have to cut corners somewhere to reduce costs. I would say plain grosgrain zipper tags help offset. My old duffel is still in great shape. Thought about donating it, but I believe I will keep it! VB does not miss, IMO.

What a wonderful, beautifully designed bag that is useful for short or long trips! Love the side and front pockets with a special zipped pocket in the front!

I absolutely love this bag! before I purchased this bag I was looking all over for a nice size bag that will be big enough to use for a labor and delivery bag for when I go into labor with my son . Trust me when I tell you me ordering this bag was the best thing that I have ever ordered off of this site. I am very pleased with my purchase. The bag is very big and I was able to pack everything that I will need for when I go into labor. I am definitely going to be placing another order soon just so that I can have an extra bag just for the heck of it . I am very pleased with my purchase and also the price .

I bought this as my carryon luggage to travel to my sons home in NC. I used packing cubes and it worked well. Plenty of room and stylish!

I actually didn’t think the bag was going to be really big but not worried at all i like it the more space the more packing i actually like it and looks as it should I’d recommend if you want a big bag for extra clothes you want to take when you want options to choose from

I had been needing a new travel duffel (rest in peace, old no-name duffel with a broken zipper) when I saw these were on sale. I am so glad I did: I LOVE IT. It is definitely a Vera Bradley ( the lining is so pretty) and has sufficient little pockets inside and out for the odds and ends every seasoned traveler knows they need to pack (and find without completely unpacking). The purple comes with a shoulder strap (a nice touch). It’s my Christmas present to me, so while I don’t plan to travel during the covid holidays, I’ll be making those dreams come true next year with my gorgeous new VB travel bag.

First, it is beautiful! But also, as always, very well made. The bag is spacious with just enough pockets, inside and out. Meets carry-on size and will be perfect for my next trip. The shoulder strap is sturdy and welcomed for a heavy packer like me.
