Needed a backpack not too huge but large enough for books or a large binder, clothes, extra jacket, lunch, laptop, tablet, folders, water bottle, umbrella, chargers, etc. Interior color makes it easy to find things inside the bag. Like the carabiner to connect keys or water bottle. Comfortable, padded shoulder straps and back pads. Includes a luggage strap, the material is durable. Great for daily work and travel. Only wish the compartments were switched a bit for my needs. E.g. the largest compartment is where you’d throw clothes and shoes — I prefer not to have laptop and files / books and food in the same compartment with shoes. The pen/implements compartment is a bit hard to get into once the bag is packed, but it’s not terrible. Front zipped pocket is convenient. While not super stylish, overall it’s a super functional bag that also looks decent.

There is space for everything and the zippers are strong and easy to use. Like that the zipper on the small outside pocket is tucked under a flap to prevent theft.

This is a very sturdy backpack, but lightweight. Plenty of room for a MacBook and an iPad. Fits under the seat of an airplane very easily.
JB –
I could live out of this awesome pack
Arlette –
Awesome for traveling or school backpack!
Vicky –
I was pleasantly surprised by the interior pockets. There is plenty of room to separate items and my phone cords wont get tangled up in my underwear. The print is perfect for my Hawaiian trip and its water repellent too.
Maria –
Such a cute backpack! I used it over the weekend for a conference, and it was perfect. The pockets are just the right size.
Shedear –

I bought this backpack because I’ll be attempting 2 weeks of travel with just a carryon and a backpack. I haven’t left yet but I am very pleased with the Grand Backpack and can’t wait to use it. It is very roomy, lightweight and well made. It has just enough pockets to keep me organized but plenty of room for shoes, spare set of clothes, light jacket and all of my toiletries and misc. travel items. Most important to me, is that it has a well made trolley sleeve to slip over the handle of my roll aboard suitcase.

I am an elementary music teacher who travels between two buildings. This backpack will be perfect. I like that it has a separate padded pocket for my laptop and that the main pocket has plenty of room for my lesson plan binder, monthly planner, and any other materials that I may need. I’m happy that the straps have lots of padding and that the interior pockets have a cute floral pattern that Vera Bradley is known for. I hope to be able to use this bag for several years. It has a chic look and, being a petite person, I am glad that it doesn’t look gigantic when I am carrying it.

This backpack is perfect for my needs. I’m a teacher and need to carry several items. It fits my laptop, planners, notebooks, my 26 oz. Yeti bottle, and all other essentials I need. Love that it repels water as well.

Perfect size for schoolers! This backpack is so pretty up close, it looks exactly like the picture online. We bought the rolling backpack same design last year and my daughter just loved it. For some reason, they are not offering the rollers this year so we went with the Grand backpack. We love the versatility. It’s roomy inside with separate departments for laptops, pens and pencils and plenty other stuff. it’s a little larger than the campus backpacks, but not by much. Good investment, excellent quality!

My future daughter in law loves Sunflowers . I know my own Vera Bradley backpack is indestructible. So, I knew she would love this as her birthday gift.

This is the first item I have gotten from Vera Bradley. In the past, I was not fond of the fabrics used for the products. I do really like the fabric and pattern of this item. Rose Foliage. I also got the mini sling and regular size sling. They were perfect to use on my recent vacation. Highly recommend!

I was weary of this backpack at first because many other reviews said it was smaller than expected, and I needed a backpack that could hold a lot and provide organization as I commute by bus to work and I have to bring all my work materails and laptop home every day… but I couldn’t stop thinking about this backpack so I got it anyways, and I am so glad I did! The laptop pocket fits my (chunky) work laptop and a padfolio/folder or two with papers in in very well, the main compartment has wonderful organization and holds my 32oz waterbottle, a few notebooks, my laptop charger, a pencil bag, and a handful of other misc things (and still has room!), the larger front pocket is great for odds and ends like pens, keys, makeup bag, etc., and the smallest pocket on the front is as deep as my hand! I can fit my chapstifck, lipstick, ear buds, pill compartment, sunglasses, and so much more in there!
Overall, I love my backpack and the support (and comfort!!) it gives my back, even with so much weight in it. The side pockets don’t really fit anything over a slender water bottle (20oz or less, I’d guess), but is perfect for an umbrella or travel coffee mug.
I’ve recommended this backpack to fellow commuting work friends.

I am excited about my Vera Bradley Grand Backpack. It is room–a great “personal” carryon, but it is lightweight. It is well made and should be good for a long time. It is distinctive and pretty.

Robin –
I bought this for our recent vacation to be my carry on for plane travel and so glad I did! It’s the perfect size for all my travel essentials and I loved how handy I fit my wallet, passport, travel docs, water bottle and more! It was easy to get to everything and just enough pockets and compartments so that everything stayed organized! Plenty of room was left over for my packable raincoat and even some snacks!. This bag is made so well and I’m in love with the Citrus Paisley print – this is my go to back pack FOR SURE!!!
