Vera Bradley Performance Twill Weekender Travel Bag

The silver zipper is too noticeable and makes the bag look cheap. I would prefer a navy blue zipper. For this much money, the bag better be perfect, so I returned it.

This bag is perfect for travel - the material used on the outside is perfect because it would be so easy to clean. It’s not the fabric you find on other products of there’s. this is very durable.

Performance fabric much nicer than the cotton for a travel bag. Really like the newer design, it has a small slip pocket in the front, like for a phone, and the back suitcase handle pocket can be zipped and used as a large slip pocket. The suitcase handle pocket fits easily over a carryon suitcase. Seems to be standard sized. Like the navy floral, it’s dark enough that it shouldn’t show dirt and still has enough design/color that it’s not boring. Zippers are nice and smooth. Overall the bag looks very nice, doesn’t look cheap like some of the VB cotton bags do. That said not sure I would pay more than $100, I was able to get it on sale for just under $80 and I think the price is right there.

From my wife Sarah: I love Vera Bradley and I particularly love the look of their black fabric. I have a matching purse in this same fabric and I love it. Its lightweight and attractive. This Weekender Travel Bag is rather large, so dont look to this item if you are in need of a purse. Its really meant for travel. It also is much heavier than I would have imagined. The design is convenient and easy to use. Its got a slot that would allow you to rest the bag on a handle on the top of a piece of luggage. The pouches and pockets are very convenient. Its got 3 exterior open pouches that you can put things in which youd like to access easily such as your phone, a snack, etc. Its got 2 very large zippered pouches on the exterior that could fit a lot. They would be large enough to fit shoes, a hair curler, etc. The interior has netting that forms pouches along the inside walls of the bag, so you can organize inside the bag. Then theres a lot of room inside the bag. It would be roomy enough to take some clothing, toiletries, etc. So I think this is a really nice bag for travel, though as with all things Vera Bradly, it would be easy to stain and to cause wear and tear on the fabric. The black color does make staining less noticeable though. All in all, Id recommend this bag for travel.

Great sized bag. I like how it’s simple and has a lot of space and pockets. Very great quality and great for traveling and for the weekend. Also comes with an adjustable shoulder strap!

This is the cutest bag, ever. It is the perfect size for weekend getaways. I absolutely love it!!!

I love the fabric. I never was a fan of vera Bradley until this bag. The fabric is versatile with weather and has a beautiful pattern and colors.

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!

I got this for my delivery in the hospital but it’s the perfect size for a diaper bag, over night bag etc. I will use this forever!
