Vera Bradley Women's Cotton Campus Backpack, Pretty Posies, One Size

This Vera Bradley was a gift for a teen. They loved it! The dark green color is stunning! The inside pattern and colors are so well matched to the bag. Great quality material. They especially liked having two side pockets on the outside for water bottles. Plenty of room for a laptop and books without being too large. Highly recommended!

I bought and returned 4 or 5 backpacks prior to an 8 day trip to The UK and France, but this backpack ended my search for the ideal travel backpack. In addition to needing a somewhat roomy carry-on backpack, I knew I'd be away from my hotels for many hours at a time and I wanted to have easy access to plenty of water, snacks, back-up phone chargers, light layers, etc. However, I also wanted something that wasn't huge and didn't look entirely like piece of luggage. This fit the bill (*almost) perfectly. (*The ONLY thing I would change is that it would be water-resistant). The shoulder straps are so comfortable. I carried this backpack pretty much all day, every day for 8 days, + about 24 additional hours in the airports. It was always full, but the weight was evenly distributed and the straps are perfectly padded...not too bulky. I didn't bring my laptop, but the laptop pocket is very roomy. I used that pocket to keep passports and tickets safely against my back. There is also a smaller pocket up against my back that could be used for this purpose. It has a side zipper, but I think it would be very difficult to unzip without the wearer being aware of it. Its other pockets are extremely functional as well. The outside water bottle pockets were large enough to hold 20ounce bottles(with room to spare). There are also many interior pockets, both with and without zippers, to help keep your stuff organized. The quilting gives the backpack a bit more of a feminine look, but don't let that fool you. It is VERY durable. I had this sitting at my feet on trains, subways, airplanes, Ubers, taxis; at restaurants, train stations, airports, parks, museums and more. It was also shoved under seats and in overhead bins. It held up to all of that with no damage. It didn't even look at all dirty at the end of the trip. However, I knew it had to be filthy. I made sure all of the pockets were empty and unzipped, then I threw it in the washer. I washed it in cold water and hung it up to dry. It looks like new. I absolutely love this backpack and can't wait to take it on more adventures. Some reasons I returned other backpacks... #1 - Very small exterior bottle pockets...I hate putting more plastic in the environment and prefer to refill my own large(ish)water bottles. #2 - Uncomfortable straps. Some of the cuter packs have very thin shoulder straps. Those may look more like a purse, but are not good if you plan to carry the full pack for hours on end. #3 - No safety pocket up against your back. #4 - No strap to slip over rolling suitcase handle. #5 - Lots of flashy zippers. (to get an idea of it's size...I'm 5'5", 125 lbs)

Dumb beautiful. I wanted a simple bag that I felt happy opening. This is that bag. Feels good. My other bag has become a grocery beater. This is my everday. S'good!

No color fade. No stitches breaking. No zippers breaking. Daughter is extremely active HS student with varsity soccer and now club soccer and varsity basketball ball and it’s holding up strong. She beats it like a problem child and still soft and strong even after one hand wash

Perfect for school use

I had the same Vera Bradley Campus Backpack that lasted with me for 15+ years. It wasn’t treated as kindly as it should have, but kept on keeping on. It just finally became threadbare on the bottom. I tried a couple other backpacks thinking they’d look more professional and have more thoughtful pockets/features. Each was a big ol’ nope. So, of course I went back to the tried and true Vera Bradley Campus! The new one is nearly identical with a few improvements. My favorite improvement is a pocket on the back that zipped to keep a wallet, passport, or other valuable safe from any potential pick pocket activity. I also love the mesh pocket on the interior to keep commonly reached for items easy to get. I also love the front pocket that has space for an ID, pens, and other small items. The side pockets for bottles are deep enough and easily fit my most used in there, such as Owala, Contigo, Yeti. I prefer the quilted version and am excited they only improved upon the one I had and loved for so many years!

This Vera Bradley backpack is sooo cute and very roomy! There are different compartments for your school books and laptop/tablet!! My daughter used it all through high school and it's still in good shape!! I was able to throw it in the washer and dryer also with no issues!!

I LOVE this backpack so much. The two main reasons I got it were the luggage/trolley sleeve and the color. I’m typically not a Vera Bradley gal, but I liked this backpack because the fabric is flat/not the typically puffy pattern. The bag fit perfectly on my luggage handle and it has SO many pockets that are actually functional. I love the backpack so much I’m thinking about swapping out the one I currently use for work with this. It was just designed so thoughtfully!

Billiges Material und minderwertige Verarbeitung! Würde es nicht weiter empfehlen

I am very impressed with this backpack. Lots of handy compartments, lovely colour, and superb quality.

Went on a 2 week Alaska land/cruise and so enjoyed my backpack!!! Very roomy but yet light. Loved it and used it every day of our trip. Would definitely recommend it!

Soo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ many pockets 😍...Fine craft manship..

Very pretty pattern and comfortable straps. Great organization pockets, too. I also like the separate laptop pocket. The only thing I’m concerned with is whether it will be weather proof; to be determined. The weather has been generally sunny so far. It’s obviously good quality, so keeping my fingers crossed that it will be somewhat waterproof.
