Iconic Compact Weekender Travel Bag
Product Details
Web ID: 4992096Beautifully made bag
This is a beautifully made bag. It is truly a compact bag. It is not made for a weekend for me. It doesn't fit all that needs to be toted for my weekend. Well made and lovely, but I had to return because it wasn't practical for me. Someone who truly knows how to pack lightly for a weekend would truly enjoy and benefit from this purchase. Make this into a duffle bag and you've got me.
Perfect size
I love the size of this bag for air travel. It fits under the seat (I have short legs!) and there is no problem with the overhead bin. I do wish the trolly sleeve was wider; it doesn't fit over the handle on my suitcase.

Oh joy! Finally, a bag that isn't too big yet perfect for under seat on airplane. I will use this so much more than the bigger weekend bags! Thank you!

Perfect personal item bag for flying.
I searched a long time for the perfect personal bag after a disappointing trip experience with another branded bag. On that bag the luggage strap was too thin allowing the bag to fall off my suitcase. It also had only shoulder straps and the bag kept falling off my shoulder while I was trying to manage my 1 year old daughter. Lessons learned. After the trip I was obsessed with finding something better. I narrowed it down between the Iconic Compact Weekender and a Tumi bag. Ultimately the Compact weekender won out because it ticked all the boxes on my want/need list. 1) It has a highly functional luggage strap. This stays on your rolling luggage. Period. No worries. 2) It has a comfortable crossbody strap. I put a lot of stuff in my bag but on one trip I didn't bring a carry-on, this was still comfortable worn crossbody. The shoulder pad is great. Not so large as to look ridiculous worn crossbody. 3) The duffel style allows you to actually see what's inside when you open it. You don't have to dig for 5 minutes to find your stuff. 4) See through mesh pockets allowed me to organize more but still see where things were. 5) It slides easily under the seat. Perfect fit. 6) The front pockets are perfect for quick access at the airport. I keep my phone in the smallest pouch. I keep my travel wallet with boarding passes in the second larger pouch. Instant easy access. Who here hates digging though your bag for ID and boarding passes? All of us. 7) The outside pocket is perfect for my 11oz water bottle. Fits like a glove. My 22oz fits too but is taller in the pouch. Hope this helps those considering this bag for flying as a personal item. I think it would work great as an overnight bag as well. I highly recommend this bag.

perfect carryon
This was PERFECT for a quick two day trip for work. Easy carry on with loads of pockets but enough room for laptop too. I got the black. I didn't like the colors/patterns.

Bought this as a gift for my daughter
Bought in solid red quilted design as a gift for my daughter to match cosmetic travel case I previously bought for her. Perfect size for weekend getaway, with lots of pockets and a convenient charging pocket for your cell phone. She was excited to get it. We are Vera Bradley fans for many years!

Love this bag!
I ordered this because I was looking for a personal item for an international flight. The Portugal airline has requirements online for your personal item is size 16x12x5 and less than 4.4 lbs. This was one of the closest bags to that size I could find. I plan to not pack it full and leave about an inch free on the width in case I have to slide it into the measuring diagram at the airport. Adding a keys attachment and "feet" on the bottom the bag would be the only recommendations I'd have to improve the bag.

Too bad
Twice as high for same bag from last year. Not a better item just the same thing.
