Vera BradleyWomen's Performance Twill Small Backpack, Classic Black, One Size

I will be the first to say I am the crazy backpack purse lady.I can pick out a million things I don’t like about many styles of bags.I opened the package and was FLOORED.The bag wasn’t HUGE like I expected. It was the perfect step up from the smaller, oddly shaped purse I had.First off, the pattern is darker and so tasteful, perfect for hiding any little stains, however, the material isn’t like a cotton feel. It has more of a nylon vibe going on. Which, to me, screams durable and weather resistant.(Keep in mind, depending on the pattern each bag may be unique in placement!)Next thing I notice is the pockets and storage. The front main pocket is a great size! It even has two organizer slots to keep things neat in there. On the sides it has two side pockets and DRUMMMM ROLL.. it fits my iPhone 14 Pro Max WITH THE CASE AND POPSOCKET ON IT!! Which is a huge thing for me. Bags of this size usually don’t have great side pockets in my experience. It also has a smaller, surprisingly deep, side pocket on the back, left-hand side. Perfect for a small wallet or phone, etc.Now one thing I LOVE is the hardware. Good zippers are so important for longevity and holding up to wear and tear.I also love the little faux leather piece on the top handle of the bag, just such a nice, quality touch in my opinion.The other thing I love is that the main compartment zipper is on the front edge and not in the middle of the top, which I can’t stand. So that’s a huge plus for my taste. It has double zippers, so it can be opened from either way.Inside the bag is two organizer pockets for smaller items such as medicine, makeup, credit cards, etc. As well as your standard inside, back of backpack zipper storage pocket. Which is also pretty deep and has great storage potential options.Oh, and it easily stands up on its own! No flopping over and sagging, but this bag can be shoved into tighter spaces with ease it seems, unlike bags with a firm shape and no give.I don’t like backpacks that are huge and heavy because as soon as you add things they get heavier and the straps dig into your shoulders and it gets bad really fast. This backpack is LIGHT and the straps are thicker and slightly padded!!! I’m here for it.I’d say if your like me and like to carry the essentials, but have some room to fit snacks or other important things when needed, this is literally the bag you need. I can’t believe I didn’t find this bag sooner.First impression thus far is 10/10! The quality and design just seem so intentional and it’s giving me life.Wow, just WOW!

Excellent! Vera Bradley quality love the quilted pattern and the color is beautiful. The inside is even more beautiful. Perfect for me to leave in my car with my items in it. Lightweight and durable

I do like the style and the fact it's roomy without being too big. There are several storage pockets inside and out. Also it seems pretty lightweight.

I was looking for something smaller for those quick trips with baby, and this is perfect! The color goes with any outfit. I like not having to lug a giant backpack around everywhere but I can still fit everything I need in this. I currently have 6 diapers, some changing pads, a burp rag, a blanket, a pack of wipes, a pack of wet ones, a pack of tissues, my wallet, lip gloss, and some mints in there and I still have room to spare! I’ve even been able to carry a small bottle and formula holder in there with all that stuff also. For me the straps are quite short and it’s tight when I have both on, but I mostly carry it with just 1 strap, for context I wear a size large top. Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase! I still use the larger diaper bag I got at my shower for all day trips, but this is my daily go-to.

Love this bag. Been using it everyday, many mini pockets inside. The only drawback is the strap at the back. It is reversed and twisted, thats why I only gave 4star.

Nice backpack. Haven’t used it yet ,but seems like good quality.

Literally fell in love with the print and bought it. I was delighted to find the colors were just as vibrant and beautiful in person. The bag itself is super durable.I use it to take spare clothes when I go to to physical therapy. The zippers open smoothly, which is much easier on my hands than drawstring bags. It can easily hold a pair of leggings or pants and a shirt as well as a clutch, phone, keys, and jewelry. It has multiple zippered pockets and internal cloth pockets that are deep enough to keep things from falling out when moving the bag.When I go to the gym, I put a 32 oz water bottle and my heavy cable machine attachments (like the bulky rope one) in it with no problem.No signs of wear on the straps or unraveling after heavy use. It’s also a very nice looking bag, so I can take it for nicer events of course.It was worth the price for such a beautiful, useful, and durable bag.

This is a bag I liked a lot and Vera Bradley wanted like $80. I looked on Amazon and by chance I found it for under $45. It is Vera Bradley, there are no differences.

This backpack is exactly what I was looking for! It's the perfect size for a purse, and holds everything I need + more !!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! and I've gotten a lot of complements on the pattern & the bag itself!
