Amazon.com: Vera Bradley Women's Cotton Original Tote, Marrakesh : Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry

This tote is a good size for carrying multiple items. It is very lightweight, not bulky. Has zippered pockets inside. I like how the quilting is a smaller pattern- it doesn't read as diaper bag or old lady.This is a bag I might take out with me for casual things - shopping, public market, festivals, etc. It would work well for air travel too. It's a very simple, casual bag with a touch of elegance.

I was excited to receive this beautiful Vera Bradley tote, as I had been eyeing some Vera bags at a high-end retail shop. You can't beat the quality of a Vera bag. The stitching and other details are impeccable. The fabric is gorgeous. I took the bag to a book sale at my local library. I was amazed at how many books the bag held, and I received several compliments on it! The two interior slip pockets and large zipper pocket and large exterior slip pocket are thoughtful design elements. I have not used the cinch ties yet, but it is nice to have that option for more security and to change the shape of the bag. The only thing I am not crazy about is that the bag doesn't stand up on its own, but that is to be expected for an all-fabric bag. I look forward to using this as my overnight bag on my next little getaway!

I haven't gotten a Vera Bradley bag in ages, but I'm aware that the brand is making its comeback, which is great. I snatched the Original Tote in the pattern Wing Bloom, which is a butterfly pattern with a gorgeous violet/purple interior pattern. In pictures, the bag appears to be white, but the actual base color is a very soft dove gray/silver.You can stuff a ton into this tote. I used it as my bag for a medical procedure and it worked beautifully. I love the soft straps, which are the perfect shoulder tote length, and the simple button closure. The interior pockets came in handy for storing smaller items and the one exterior pocket was a nice touch for my phone. An iPhone 15 pro max will easily fit in the pocket.The only thing I'm unsure about is the two strings inside of the tote. In pictures, they're supposed to be used to cinch the bag, making it smaller and more like a handbag. However, I'm not sure how that would work, practically, as the knot would get in the way of getting items in and out of the bag. It's a nice thought (design-wise) and they're not really actively impacting the use of the bag when left loose, so I'm not deducting any stars for that. It's a nice option, should I need it.Stitching is typical Vera Bradley quality - very good and even. The bag feels to be of really good quality and the fabric is standard for VB. Overall, this is a great bag and I love the pattern!

As a Vine Voice we are asked to submit honest reviews, so I have given much thought to my review of this tote. Ordered in Wing Bloom design, it is very pretty. With a white background, being machine washable is great. Has 2 inside pockets, one zippered and one outside, as I believe a tote should. Ties sewn inside help close the opening is also a nice touch. It is a quilted look but not actually a heavy quilted fabric. With all that being said I feel the MSRP reflects the “Vera Bradley” name. There are many lovely totes available that will get the job done for a fraction of this price.

I use this for work and it carries all the things I have to bring with me including my laptop. It's my purse and workbag.
