Vera Bradley Womens Cotton Large Travel Duffel Bag

I absolutely love this bag. The straps make it easy to carry as they leave room to stuff the bag full and be able to throw the straps over your shoulder. The larger strap is also very convenient and comfortable when carrying. I knew I wanted this specific style of bag, and didnt cary too much about the color or design- but I really love the color and style. Very unique and pretty. The bag is also considered a Large and I believe there is an Extra Large (but that does not come with the larger strap) but this Large is HUGE!!! Love this bag sooo much.

This bag is a gray carry-on or weekend getaway bag. Lots of pockets, plenty of space. Highly recommend

I love it! The plaid pattern is beautiful. It’s very roomy. And it seems like it will be sturdy. Plus, I got this bag on sale. Score!

Ordered this for my mom and she loves it!!!

So far only used it for an overnight but if fit both of our things with extra space. It is nice and thick material too so I was not worried about anything breaking even if it was stuffed full

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.

This is a great weekender. I got the black cotton and it’s very nice. Be careful as it does seem to trap hair on the bag if you have have pets. It’s not as big a the xl bags that are older but it’s close.

This was purchased as a gift and she LOVES it. Great for travel.

Easy for packing, and very roomy

I really like this bag! Its the perfect size for a trip over a long weekend. On a recent trip, I was able to stash away multiple pairs of pants, shirts, sweaters, a large toiletry bag, two cookbooks and a laptop all in it. It was definitely full, but it fit. Ill also mention that some reviews warn of not getting an authentic Vera Bradley bag. Perhaps the vendor has changed since then? But the bag I received was authentic -- I checked it against the images I saw on verabradley.com.
