Vera Bradley Performance Twill Weekender Travel Bag

The Weekender Bag looks and feels terrific, but I was very surprised at how small it was for a weekend that, according to its name, should be large enough for a weekend. At best, this bag would be good for an extended day or an overnight trip. Vera Bradley has something similar called the Grand bag. I’m returning this one and purchased that one instead. Disappointed with this purchase.

THIS IS PERFECT FIT FOR MY WALKER, JUST IN CASE I HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME FAST. THANK YOU SO MUCH, D.

The Vera Bradley Weekender is a good size for short trips. I love that it has a shoulder strap so that I dont have to just carry it by the handles. You can also slide it over the hand bar of your suitcase. I like that it has the Vera Bradley quilting, but that it comes in black. For business travel, I prefer the black to the patterns Vera Bradley is known for. The fabric is durable too compared to some of their other bags. It has plenty of pockets and compartments. I like that I can still fold it flatter for storing when its not in use. Suitcases can take up a lot of space in a closet, even small carry on size ones. This would even be good for college students that travel back home on weekends.

Absolutely love this overnight bag! Perfect size and very pretty pattern.

This is wonderful bag for traveling overnight or work. Im going to use it for work. I love the performance twill fabric and durability. The strawberry ice is a beautiful look! The Reactive fabrication was more stiff as where the Performance Twill was more relaxed. The shipping was quick!

Absolutely love this overnight bag! Perfect size and very pretty pattern.

I bought this as a second carry-on for a two-week, 8-segment cross-country train trip, and it worked out great. I loved that the bag was lightweight but sturdy -- even when stuffed full, it was easy to lift up to the overhead luggage rack (and down and up again, as I had occasion to do a couple of times on each train...). I chose the navy color because it was an elegant neutral that also had a light-colored lining inside, making it easy to see the contents. The outer and inner pockets were convenient and well-placed. The only thing that didnt work for me is the luggage sleeve -- my rolling suitcase handle was too wide to use it (so if that feature is critical to you, make sure to check your dimensions). However, using the adjustable cross-body strap worked well for me--and when carrying it this way, I again really appreciated the bag itself being so lightweight, so its not adding much to the contents youre carrying. All in all, Im delighted with this weekender and look forward to taking it on many future trips!

This bag is 18x12x6 inches overall. It has an outside zip pocket that is 12x10 inches and a smaller pocket 11x7 12 inches. On the back, there is a strip of fabric that makes up two 5x5 pockets that are open on top and in the center, a bottomless pocket that slips over the handle of a rolling suitcase or rolling computer case. Inside is the beautiful Vera Bradly fabric with two mesh pockets on both sides. The whole bag is very versatile and makes for a nice carry-on bag. The straps for carrying are strong and there is an additional sholulder strap with a shoulder pad. That strap is over 50 inches in length. Overall, this is a very nice bag that works well and looks very good doing it.

I admit to liking Vera Bradley bags but sometimes feeling like they were designed for my mom -- older patterns, older designs. I havent bought a new bag in over 10 years, the quality was great but the designs just havent drawn me. I am happy to see they have updated their bags without reducing the quality. You can use the Vera Bradley bags without screaming thats what youre carrying. A nice quilted black water resistant exterior with an attractive VB printed interior lining. They are heavy duty with real metal zippers, grommets and clips. This means that they are heavy, I was surprised when I picked it up with the weight. The design is simple, with rounded carry handles and a long adjustable shoulder strap. One outside end has a bottle holder and unlike most, it is reinforced and sturdy enough to actually hold a bottle. The exterior back has two open pockets and in the center has a loop that you can put over a luggage handle. The exterior front has two exterior pockets, each with a heavy duty metal zipper. The interior has open netted pockets, three on one side and two on the other. This is a simple, basic design which is usable. I would have liked more divisions or non-netting pockets on the inside. The zippers are heavy duty and work smoothly without catching. I found two hung threads on the seams, but both were able to be snipped shorter without affecting the sewing. I am happy with my new bag!
