Vera Bradley Women's Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Drawstring Family Tote Bag

These bags are HUGE and roomy. I got 2 different colors/patterns. Amazon price beat VB online price!These are really nicely "coated" material bags. Almost like the old fashioned "oil cloth" where it's like it's waterproof with out looking like some cheap plastic/which it is not!! VB does not do cheap!!I'm using mine for like an all day bag at the beach, for travel when you want to take a purse but need room for buying a few things without carrying multiple bags on each arm. This bag takes care of both needs.IF you need a sturdy, roomy bag that looks great and functions in a lot of different ways... this bag is it. Get it!!

The media could not be loaded. As I said in the video, I was looking for a pool maybe beach bag. I wanted something water resistant so that if I take kiddo to swim lessons the bag wouldn't get wet. I was contemplating the bogg bag & so glad I gave this vera bradley one a try!It's water resistant so check!It's huge! It's deep & wide. I can fit a kickboard & kids lifevest in it with two towels and pool toys & still have room for my stanley, snacks, flip flops, change of clothes. It's really massive.I love how there's a pocket without a zipper so I'm thinking to put my phone there for easy access to grab. There's a really decent size pocket with zipper.I love the drawstring top in case the bag is over flowing with stuff you can secure the contents verses it just being a tote bag.It's great quality. I love vera bradley items, I'm not loyal or anything but I gotta say I'm impressed! This bag needed a video show casing it! I love it this much. The bogg bag doesn't fold down, has the holes in it so sand can easily get in it. Or water too. And it doesn't have any containment feature for the top if things are over flowing. This VB bag is suitable for both beach & pool. It's cute too. Its also a great price too!

It's cute (I got the Flamingo Party), it's sturdy, with a large, flat bottom, it's comfortable to carry, and it's gigantic! I could fit half my house in it. Because of the netting on the drawstring top, I'd think twice about carrying it on a rainy day, but any other time, this is my purse of choice, especially because I like to carry books with me.It's also really easy to clean on the inside; perfect for when you go to the beach and bring mountains of sand home with you. While it doesn't have zippered pockets on the inside, it has a giant zippered compartment on the outside, and there is an extremely substantial non-zippered phone pocket (or whatever you want to use it for) built down into the side-panel fabric so you don't have to open the netting (I use it for my subway pass). I also love the "seat-belt" handles. They may be a little slippery, but they never, ever tear.Twenty stars for this baby... and I just purchased myself a second one!

I like the bag and it was a great size, but it was very hard to figure out where the drawstring was because there was no instructions with the bag. It’s attractive and lightweight, and if you look inside, the netting can be closed with draw string. I bought it, especially because it was made out of recycled plastic and I thought that the person would appreciate that that I bought it for.I originally thought I got the wrong Bag and it is a Vera Bradley product so I was a bit disappointed until I figured out how to use it. I think they need to put some better instructions in it.

Because I love the Flamingo Garden pattern on the navy background, I bought a Vera Bradley crossbody purse but it was too small for everyday use. Next I purchased this bag and it is huge! It is more of a beach bag or a weekender bag. Really very large. It has a mesh top to keep your beach gear secure in the bag, and comfortable straps. Plus, you can toss Vera Bradley bags into the wash.

I agree with other reviews on the smell. I have used it to go to the pool for 2 weeks now and I still find myself spraying it with cloth freshen up spray.The color and pattern is adorable and I have received compliments on the bag.

Waterproof and good closure. Spacious

This bag was originally bought for the beach but quickly became my gym bag. It fits in a locker, is easy to clean, and is spacious! I love the print as well!
