Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Lay Flat Travel Backpack

Just took this backpack as a personal item to Europe and on 3 different airlines with no issues at all. It had all the features that I was specifically looking for - suitcase opening, trolley sleeve, water bottle pocket, compression straps, and several organization compartments. It had it all and I even found an extra pocket that I didn't even know it had to bring home souvenirs. I packed almost as much as my rolling carry-on. So glad I found this at the last minute! Great quality and a very well-designed backpack found in my favorite gray.

This bag delivered!! I went on a long trip abroad and this bag held so much and kept it so organized. I am so glad it was recommended by a friend. I can't believe I went so long without it. Absolutely perfect. And even when I packed it to the brim, the seams, zippers, and buckles were holding strong. I am super impressed. My new travel buddy for life.

I went away for a long weekend. I was a bit hesitant when purchasing this backpack because it did not seem to have as much room in it as some of the other backpacks. I really liked the idea of the lay flat backpack. I actually fit more in it than I had expected. I recommend this backpack.

I bought this backpack in Plaza Medallion for a trip where I didn't pay for bags & could only take a personal item. This bag worked perfect as my personal item & fit under the seat. It holds a lot if you pack it correctlyI packed 4 outfits, sandals & flip flops, accessories, swimsuit, pajamas, toiletries, small crossbody, phones/chargers, etc. It didn't feel heavy on my shoulders & I didn't have any issue with the mesh like other people did. Overall, I really like this bag, love the color & design & it's great for travel!

My job requires me to fly overnight very often (3x a month) and this bag is perfect for my work equipment (computer, files, etc) and my clothes & toiletry bag. Absolutely love it

This bag is amazing! Held a weeks worth of casual outfits! So happy with it!

I love it. Wish there where more darker shades to choose form.

Absolutely love my new backpack. I was wanting one that opened flat so I could get items out without having to unpack and repack every time I needed an item. This is awesome!! I absolutely LIVE the sunflowers. Only worry I have is that it may be too light for the rigors of travel, but it was the only one on sale at a price I could afford (probably the reason why!!). Will scotchguard and hope it dies well. Sooooo pretty!

Great bag...better than I expected.

Best travel bag ever. Perfect under seat and holds a ton. Bring them back!!!!! Looking all over for them.

My college bound granddaughter l9ves her new backpack!!

We bought this for my daughter ti go on multiple college over night visits. Perfect size and super easy to get in and off the plane with.

This bag is amazing for traveling!!

The travel backpack is the best thing for traveling. When you are traveling for short time, it holds everything you need and the best thing is easy traveling.

Really spacious and will hold a lot. Plan to use packing cubes to prevent drifting of contents.

I bought this bag for a Eurotrip but got a chance to use it first for an extended weekend getaway to the beach. it was perfect as a carry on bag on my flight and surprisingly can fit so much clothes!! I was away for 4 nights and it easily packed everything I needed with even room to spare. A tip would be to roll your clothes so it fits them better. I had at least 5 outfits, two bathing suits, 2 pairs of pajamas, and it even had a pocket for my cosmetics bags. I am very impressed with the quality of the material and even the inside of the pockets are super soft. When I first bought it I was concerned that once it's packed it would be too heavy for me to carry but it fit really snug even on my 5 ft frame and even at full packing capacity it was comfortable walking through the airport. It seriously is my new favorite bag for travel and now I'm excited to use it for my trip to Europe :-)

I love it , looking forward to my fall travel

I bought this years ago because it was the only backpack that had so many different compartments and best of all is that it's basically a like a luggage! I have used this bag in international travel, domestic travel without ever having any issues. A few weeks ago it was my only carry on bag for 2 a week trip in Greece. I was able to fit 15 outfits and still had extra space for my laptop, iPad, and toiletries. So many trips and so many times I've filled it up to the rim where I had to use force and strength to manage to close it. Not a single tear or sign of wear. In addition to being indestructible it's super stylish! Best money spent. I love this bag and highly recommend!

It fit everything I needed, and it worked out great.

I LOVE this backpack!! So many compartments, sturdy, and super cute!

Love the print

Took this in the bus with me on a trip to NYC. Held everything I needed and could be placed over the seat in front when no one was there. I travel for immigration work on occasion, and I can see this being perfect for a quick overnight trip on a plane.

Beautiful bag for a weekend getaway

My daughter has been using her beautiful backpack traveling with her toddler & says it's been the best thing ever! She loves the way it opens & packs everything neatly & well organized. It holds a ton too, all while looking pretty! You need to keep this style in your line-up it's a major leap forward for backpacks!

I purchased this a a birthday gift for my daughter, her boyfriend also purchased a coordinating piece she is thrilled and do were we
