Vera Bradley began as an instinct. An instinct fueled by the optimism, passion, and bold self-expression of our founders, who imagined a more colorful, beautiful world. We exist as a joy catalyst, to support everyday movement and adventure through artistry and material mastery, infusing every step with color, positivity, and the unmistakable delight that comes from living a life of bold pursuits.
I love the high quality of this bag. The material feels durable yet lightweight, and it doesn’t weigh me down even when I carry it all day. The sling design makes it comfortable on the shoulder, and the size is just right for essentials like my phone, wallet, keys, and a small notebook. This sling backpack is my everyday go-to bag for school, work, and running around. I don't even use a regular purse anymore because I like to be hands-free.It is a bit pricey, but you’re paying for the brand. There are cheaper versions of this type of bag, but I chose this one not only for the Vera Bradley name but also for the interior. The lining is aesthetically pleasing and lovely, which makes it feel extra special every time I use it.Overall, it’s a wonderful everyday bag—practical, stylish, and a little luxury that feels worth it. Treat yourself and get it!
Used this on a cross country road trip instead of a backpack! Super light weight. Fits a full size water bottle and has a super comfy strap. Looks cute dressed up and casual. I wore it on the plane and to dinners out too.
I purchased the pumus stone color. It is the perfect color, not too white not to cream not too yellow. Everything in between, it looks really rich. Normally I wouldn’t spend $55 for a bag like this, but it is well-made, great color, super soft, lays flat, and I love the back outside slip pocket for my iPhone. The interior patterned material is super sweet. And it’s just the right size. A definite keeper for me. Adjustable strap length is great too. Outside zipper compartment and inside zipper compartment are also functional.
Review of: Vera Bradley Women's Featherweight Lorman Sling Backpack, Leaf Me Not Paisley, One SizeThis purse/bag has beautiful colors in the Leaf Me Not Paisley print. The colors are soft, yet bold enough to be beautiful. The bag is a great size. You can actually fit a standard size water bottle in it, I'd say 16oz or smaller. One addition I'd love would be a small zipper pocket on the outside of the existing zipper pocket just for keys. OR an attached key lanyard in the big compartment. I just cannot find my keys in this thing and it's enough to make me not use this as my every day bag. It's very comfortable, the strap length is great, seems well made.One disappointment I had is the fabric. I didn't know it is a nylon, "Puffer Jacket" fabric. I was actually shocked when I took it out of the bag. It identical to a winter puffer jacket coat. I was expecting quilted cotton like the old days. So instead of this being a nicer, more elegant bag it's more of a hiking, sports game, bag. I've come to like it, but not LOVE it. Definitely a VERY casual bag.I've been a big fan of Vera Bradley bags for probably 30 years now, maybe since mid-90s. I'm still a fan overall, but am disappointed with some of their changes. They used to be known for an abundance of pockets and storage compartments in ALL of their bags, which is no longer a thing for them. That was my biggest draw to them. The other change is moving away from their traditional quilted cotton.
I searched long and hard for a replacement for my lululemon beltbag, and I adore this purse even more than I thought I would. It is super light weight and so roomy. The zippers work great, there is plenty of room for everything. The very back pocket is perfect for my sunglasses so they don’t get scratched against my keys. The front pocket fits gum, chapstick, EarPods, advil, floss. It’s so, so perfect! I just can’t wait until the matching wallet comes! I love the nylon exterior too as I can tell it will be easy to spot clean (I bought the black one). It is my new daily purse. No more cramming into a tiny lululemon, but still perfectly stylish! The strap is also plenty long for an average size person.
Perfect size not to big not to small looks casual but I would not feel like I could not take it to semi formal event. I bought the black and I am pleased that the material on the inside is light enough to figure out what’s inside. The pocket on the back side is deep and wide and discrete but a side zipper in the back would have been my preference. Glad I took the leap and purchased.
I bought this Vera Bradley crossbody bag because it's small, lightweight, water-resistant, and roomy. It has just enough zippered pockets, so it should be easy to find things. It appears well-constructed, and it's comfortable to wear. It should work well for traveling.
Love Vera Bradley's Lorman sling bag. I have this in the Putty color and the Black.The fabric is incredibly soft yet durable, as is the lining. The zippers are well-made and very smooth. The length of the strap is fine for me - I carry it across the front. Every component of the bag is great quality. It's easy access for travel and keeping items close to the body and safe.This sling style is a nice way to mix up the belt bag trend - similar ease of use, comfort, practicality but with a more fashion-forward quilted look.Both colors are great but I love this Putty! And I'm loving Vera Bradley's redesign.
