The bullet points and answered questions are not necessarily correct for this bag, so I wanted to write a review to help clear things up.I got the Bahama Bay, which is a nice bright color, and I am hoping to keep it that way. The bullet points currently say that this is cotton, but since I have another Vera Bradley with the same quilted twill pattern (the triple zip, but in black), I was pretty sure this was polyester microfiber and yes, it is.Sturdy, and well made, as you're expecting. It will clearly be a long lived bag as long as I can keep it clean, and yes, it's machine washable. From the Vera Bradley site: "Product Care: Close all zippers before laundering, machine wash cold, gentle cycle, use only non-chlorine bleach as needed; line dry". I haven't had a washable work bag before, so this seems a ginormous win.Also from that site, in case the info here gets further confused: "Microfiber is lightweight, solid-colored polyester.Exterior features a front slip pocket, a zip pocket and a hidden top pocket. Interior features six slip pockets. Zip closure." The interior pockets are open at the top, and there are three on each side of the bag. "Dimensions: 15.00" w x 14.50" h x 6.00" d with 12.00" strap drop". There is no cardboard insert in this bag, though there is a sturdy piece of plastic (I think) at the bottom (inside; non removable).I wish that there were a full-length pocket somewhere for protecting papers or the like, but I might just carry around a folio for that purpose.So: this bag is everything I was hoping it would be (aside from the full-length pocket, which is just something I forgot to check for), and the only question I have is how easy it will be to keep clean. But I love the bright colors and the sturdy fabric, and this is definitely a keeper.Until now, I was a Vera Bradley "virgin". I admired the bags on other women, but never felt the busy patterns were for me (especially since i like to wear patterns in my clothing). I had no idea there were solid options! I had been on the hunt for a tote with organization, which is a very difficult thing to find. My hairdresser was talking recently about her collection of Vera Bradley bags and spoke very highly about how well made they are and how long they have lasted her. Knowing they are known for organization, I figured perhaps they were worth a look.Although this is more than I am accustomed to spending on a bag, I am convinced this investment was a wise one, especially when this is my everyday bag for work. Although large, it doesn'tfeel awkward and ungainly. This tote is stylish, well made and has a ton of storage. Once I organized my smaller items into the various pockets, I find that the central portion is plenty of space for my wallet, my insulated lunch bag and any other papers or items that need to be added. I'm in LOVE!My dil bought me one in red a couple of years ago and now I’m in mad love with it!!!! Fantastic for traveling and for everyday and if you have kids!!! Pockets everywhere inside and out, sturdy, durable, lightweight, and comfortably big to give Mary Poppins a run for her bag!!! So, I bought two of these for my daughters, one is a teacher and the other one with 3 kids on the go. Between the 3 of us, we are testaments to this bag. So, just BUY IT!!!!! You will not regret it!!!I’m not usually a Vera Bradley fan, but this bag is really beautiful. Quality construction, quality fabric, very classy. I’m using it for my pickleball racquet, balls and water bottle and everything fits perfectly. Very convenient outer pockets for phone and keys, one of which zips. Love it!I am so in love with this bag! The color is breathtaking! This is actually my first Vera Bradley purchase. I have bought Donna Sharp purses in the past and love the quilted purses for the comfort of carrying a light, soft purse. I have Fibro, so this is an important issue to me when it comes to buying handbags, they have to be light and comfortable, so I am just naturally drawn to quilted bags.The reason I was drawn to this bag was because of the color first, the fact that it is a solid color too, so that I don't have to worry about it clashing with a printed skirt or top. The next feature I was drawn to was the amount of room in this bag and all the pockets for organization as well.I am always taking measurements of my current favorite bag and comparing the dimensions of a bag I'm considering buying to try and make it similar so I'm not getting something too small or too large for my particular taste. I knew going into this purchase that it was several inches taller than my regular bag, so I was hoping it was not going to be an issue for me to carry a larger bag and feel silly.So when my bag arrived, it was indeed larger than I am used to carrying, but I am soooo loving all the room and the pockets and the color. I absolutely love this bag so much, I don't even care that its larger. It's light, comfortable and gorgeous. I have plenty of room for all of my things, plus if I want to throw a sweater in there or whatever, there is room for that as well.I actually ordered the classic black a few minutes ago too, because that will absolutely go with everything and it's so classy looking.Highly recommend this bag!I like everything about this bag. No crazy print for one thing. I got red, which is seasonless and easy to spot, which is good if you get distracted and happen to put it down. If you put this down, you won’t likely leave without it. It stands out. Great fabric, soft and durable. The bag is lightweight and has a lot of useful organization. The interior is lovely and light colored enough so it’s not a black hole. I can carry everything I need without it getting too heavy, and this includes my iPad and cell phone. There is a dedicated cellphone pocket that is so well done. You won’t have any problem stowing the phone safely and also retrieving it easily. I have bought Vera Bradley bags for the last 25 years and finally I said enough as I felt they had lost their wonderful thoughtful construction and they didn’t offer solid colors. With this bag they nailed it, and the old attention to detail is back. I’m very happy with it.get so many compliments. Plain black so it can be used for biz trips or casual overnights!Love this bag ,very roomy will probably use it for travelling only , has many pockets inside and out which is very handy and also light because it is fabric. Like it so much that I bought another but smaller to use daily.El diseño de flores al frente está bordado y es muy colorido. El interior es muy bonito también, tiene 3 bolsitos grandes de cada lado para tener todo organizado. Tiene además un compartimento oculto que funciona muy bien para guardar el celular. Recomiendo mucho esta bolsa marca Vera Bradley.
