Vera Bradley Women's Cotton Campus Backpack, Terra Cotta Rose - Recycled Cotton, One Size

This Vera Bradley was a gift for a teen. They loved it! The dark green color is stunning! The inside pattern and colors are so well matched to the bag. Great quality material. They especially liked having two side pockets on the outside for water bottles. Plenty of room for a laptop and books without being too large. Highly recommended!

I bought this Vera Bradley backpack for my daughter school year, and it’s been amazing! First of all, the design is perfect. The grey colors and patterns make it easy to spot, and the quality feels top-notch. Functionally, it’s everything needed for a busy school day. There’s a padded compartment that fits a laptop perfectly, plus enough space for textbooks, notebooks, and even her lunch. The front pocket is great for smaller items like pens, hand sanitizer, and earbuds, and the side pockets easily hold a water bottle. The straps are padded and really comfortable, even when carrying it all day across campus. And I love that it’s lightweight but still sturdy enough to hold everything without sagging. If you want a school backpack that’s stylish, durable, and actually makes carrying your stuff a little more fun, this is it!

This Vera Bradley backpack is sooo cute and very roomy! There are different compartments for your school books and laptop/tablet!! My daughter used it all through high school and it's still in good shape!! I was able to throw it in the washer and dryer also with no issues!!

Vera Bradley is usually my go-to for quality-made travel bags, and this backpack is no exception. I purchased the black bandana medallion pattern, which is just gorgeous but also subtle. I am not in school but I used this bag for international travel. It fit perfectly underneath the airplane seat. The straps are very comfortable and I wore this backpack while hiking around for hours without any discomfort. Another nice feature is the trolley sleeve in the back, so it fits on top of your rolling luggage. The main caveats are that the laptop compartment in the back fits a 15 inch laptop, but my work laptop is a 17 inch so it fits in the front-most pocket which is actually a larger pocket. This doesn't bother me that much however. After my travels, the bag did get a bit dingy on the white color, so I threw it in the washing machine on delicate cycle (inside of a mesh bag) and then hung it to air dry. There were no issues after washing it and it is very clean again! In terms of capacity and organization, the front zipper pockets are very useful for keeping smaller items like charging cables, tissues, etc. It also has two water bottle pockets on the sides. It is a very roomy yet feminine bag without looking like a giant rucksack.

No color fade. No stitches breaking. No zippers breaking. Daughter is extremely active HS student with varsity soccer and now club soccer and varsity basketball ball and it’s holding up strong. She beats it like a problem child and still soft and strong even after one hand wash

I got this backpack for my daughter, and she absolutely loves it! It’s the perfect size for school, with plenty of space for her books, lunchbox, and even a little extra. The design is super cute and has held up really well so far. It’s both functional and fun—definitely a great buy!

I had the same Vera Bradley Campus Backpack that lasted with me for 15+ years. It wasn’t treated as kindly as it should have, but kept on keeping on. It just finally became threadbare on the bottom. I tried a couple other backpacks thinking they’d look more professional and have more thoughtful pockets/features. Each was a big ol’ nope. So, of course I went back to the tried and true Vera Bradley Campus! The new one is nearly identical with a few improvements. My favorite improvement is a pocket on the back that zipped to keep a wallet, passport, or other valuable safe from any potential pick pocket activity. I also love the mesh pocket on the interior to keep commonly reached for items easy to get. I also love the front pocket that has space for an ID, pens, and other small items. The side pockets for bottles are deep enough and easily fit my most used in there, such as Owala, Contigo, Yeti. I prefer the quilted version and am excited they only improved upon the one I had and loved for so many years!

Dumb beautiful. I wanted a simple bag that I felt happy opening. This is that bag. Feels good. My other bag has become a grocery beater. This is my everday. S'good!
