Vera Bradley Performance Twill Weekender Travel Bag

This is a really flexible bag. It can be used as a gym bag; carry-on(in some cases); and for short or long weekends. Its really more or less a medium/large duffle bag. My girlfriend is VERY into VB Performance Twill. Nearly every time something comes out, she wants it. Like most of the others, she loves this one. Her only issue is with its large size, she simply doesnt have a need to use it more than a few times a week (mostly the gym). This bag can handle 29L of items. Compartments are reasonable in number and design. Material quality and stitching is very good. The overall look is modern with a little vintage (quilting). The handle straps and shoulder strap are both quite functional. Really, if you have the need for this amount of storage, this is a super nice glorified duffle bag. Recommended 4 stars Cheers!

The silver zipper is too noticeable and makes the bag look cheap. I would prefer a navy blue zipper. For this much money, the bag better be perfect, so I returned it.

I love this bag for me or my daughter for weekend trips, whether she is going to a friends house or it is a weekend away with my husband. The bag folds up well and is able to be folded away in my bottom drawer when not in use, but it actually holds quite a bit. I am able to pack a couple days clothes, make up, and hair accessories. The material and color that I chose is black which does not collect a lot of dirt of scuffs, and I have been able to machine-wash it successfully. The bag itself has a zipper which has not malfunctioned, like cheaper products, and it has pockets for smaller items not to get lost in the larger compartment. The bag does have a strap that can be held on your shoulder or it can be removed and carried by hand-straps. I have been very pleased with this size, quality, and performance of this product, but I do personally feel that the value is slightly high considering similar products.

This is beautiful and very well put together and waterproof. But the pocket on the backside that should slip on any luggage is too small. I am keeping it because I’m looking into buying another piece of luggage anyway.

I love the size and many pockets for organizing inside and out. I’m on the road 4-5 days out of the week and this bag keeps all my toiletries in place and can even hold an extra outfit. I have the bigger bag in the same print. Both are the twill fabric which is easier to keep clean. Worth every penny!

This is lightweight yet very sturdy. It looks great. I am very happy with it.

From my wife Sarah: I love Vera Bradley and I particularly love the look of their black fabric. I have a matching purse in this same fabric and I love it. Its lightweight and attractive. This Weekender Travel Bag is rather large, so dont look to this item if you are in need of a purse. Its really meant for travel. It also is much heavier than I would have imagined. The design is convenient and easy to use. Its got a slot that would allow you to rest the bag on a handle on the top of a piece of luggage. The pouches and pockets are very convenient. Its got 3 exterior open pouches that you can put things in which youd like to access easily such as your phone, a snack, etc. Its got 2 very large zippered pouches on the exterior that could fit a lot. They would be large enough to fit shoes, a hair curler, etc. The interior has netting that forms pouches along the inside walls of the bag, so you can organize inside the bag. Then theres a lot of room inside the bag. It would be roomy enough to take some clothing, toiletries, etc. So I think this is a really nice bag for travel, though as with all things Vera Bradly, it would be easy to stain and to cause wear and tear on the fabric. The black color does make staining less noticeable though. All in all, Id recommend this bag for travel.

Well made and perfect for weekend needs.

I admit to liking Vera Bradley bags but sometimes feeling like they were designed for my mom -- older patterns, older designs. I havent bought a new bag in over 10 years, the quality was great but the designs just havent drawn me. I am happy to see they have updated their bags without reducing the quality. You can use the Vera Bradley bags without screaming thats what youre carrying. A nice quilted black water resistant exterior with an attractive VB printed interior lining. They are heavy duty with real metal zippers, grommets and clips. This means that they are heavy, I was surprised when I picked it up with the weight. The design is simple, with rounded carry handles and a long adjustable shoulder strap. One outside end has a bottle holder and unlike most, it is reinforced and sturdy enough to actually hold a bottle. The exterior back has two open pockets and in the center has a loop that you can put over a luggage handle. The exterior front has two exterior pockets, each with a heavy duty metal zipper. The interior has open netted pockets, three on one side and two on the other. This is a simple, basic design which is usable. I would have liked more divisions or non-netting pockets on the inside. The zippers are heavy duty and work smoothly without catching. I found two hung threads on the seams, but both were able to be snipped shorter without affecting the sewing. I am happy with my new bag!

Absolutely love this overnight bag! Perfect size and very pretty pattern.
