I needed a bag for work that had enough space that I would not need to carry multiple bags. I liked that the back section zips all the way and can lay flat. I do have TSA Pre but it’s nice to have that feature if needed. The main part has a gusset which seems to provide a little extra structure which will keep it from flopping too much. I even discovered an extra slip pocket in the side behind the right side exterior zip pocket. The external zip pockets aren’t meant for water bottles but I favor small slender bottles and they do fit. There’s also an internal bottle pocket.This backpack is great. It has so many pockets and compartments. It fits nicely over the handle of a roller suitcase. It's also lightweight and doesn't put as much pressure on my shoulders as other backpacks I've used.These are the only bags I have found that hold up to the books and materials needed for middle school with no locker. It’s so heavy but all other bags have fallen apart.Bought as a graduation gift before our daughter heads off to college. It’s good quality and sturdy. Full sized backpack. Pretty too!I love this backpack for when I’m traveling. It fits everything and is so comfortable and cute. One of my favorite purchases!!!This backpack is roomy and has enough space for everything I need and some. It is well made, lightweight and beautifully constructed. I been carrying Tumi backpacks for years and this bag is comparable, has more space and less expensive. The colors are vibrant and patterns are arranged as only Vera Bradley can do. You will love it! I will purchase another one!I love this bag. It is so hard to find something cute and big enough to fit my laptop, textbooks, notebooks and all my other stuff for class. The zippers work smoothly and the straps are super easy to adjust. As big as it is, it isn't bulky looking.I really like this backpack. I use it almost every day for work. I was surprised at how big it is. My favorite part, which was why I decided on this one specifically, is because the fabric is water repellent. I have been caught in the rain a few times, and most the water just rolls right off. It also has a lot of smaller pockets to help stay organized. I wish I would have had this when I was in school!
