They look pretty and functional at the same time. The one large compartment is better for someone like me who can’t stand using backpacks with multiple compartments. Too many compartments means I can’t find what I need immediately. One stop searching is my motto 🤣
Hi @carlarice6775 ! It definitely pays to go to the outlet. I found these there and there are even more styles online. Even Conde Nast did an article about how great their old bags are! www.cntraveler.com/story/vera-bradley-tote-bag?CNT_TopClickers_Monthly%202024-09-26&bxid=65dcdb6eed580d761b0475a2&cndid=76577276&hasha=aac2583a6d850fef0f31cb9b7f097ff2&hashb=9771d542911102fca7a66c40440fe3cb45185347&hashc=9f77a60f50c7a069e8a7b90cedb82e8c42486d2ba53334a0db57a4d7ca4bcdcb&esrc=bx_multi2nd_packext&CNT_Top_25
I have a different vera bradley backpack I use for my personal bag. I love it! I have an outlet really close to my home. They have some nice travel items- I've bought way too many things there! 😂
@PerriesPassport I have the Bancroft. It works perfect for my personal bag. It doesn't have much internal organization but that's ok for me. I prefer pouches.
It's really hard to look good with a backpack, but I think that these do a really great job. What do you think?

Hi @@Beacon631 I had to 🤣🤣 at your "One stop searching". I totally get that!
Wow I will have to go to the Vera Bradley outlet. I have some hard suitcases, but glad they are making the new backpack.

Love watching you pack!! It helps encourage me to pack carry-on only on my next trip!
Hi @karenhenderson5726 I'm so glad! When I started to do this $% years ago (LOL), I was the only person I knew who did this.
Thank you for this! I love the first one!! I went to the Vera Bradley site immediately 🎉
Hi @SimplyKatieWalks Did you check out the price difference between the two? I went into Bloomingdale to check out the quality and it was the same.
@@PerriesPassport I actually only priced the first one. I'll check out both! 75$ is not bad
@@SimplyKatieWalks I think that they are both a great value, but they are very different. It really depends on your heeds (or wants, LOL)

Hi @jc42598 LOL I know the feeling. Being near their outlet is kind of deadly! Which one do you have as a personal item?

@@jc42598 Thanks! I'll have to check it out!
