Vera Bradley Women's Recycled Grand Backpack Plaza Medallion

I bought this bag because I was going on a trip and I needed something that was versatile enough for me to put things in that I needed. The amount of space this bag provides is amazing. There is a front pocket where you can put what you need for right away access. The pocket for your pens and pencils is deep, so you can put as much as you need in there. The main compartment has three inner mesh pockets; one is zippered and the other two are open-mouthed. The pocket for your laptop is also pretty darn good as well. I put my iPad in there and I almost forgot about that I had it in there. There is a side hook where you can hook anything there. I totally recommend this bag for both travel and school use.

It is roomy without being too big. Padded sleeve for tablet/laptop also works to hold folder for travel docs/magazines. It is very functional with the addition of a small front pocket great for glasses or an array of chargers, which is how I utilized that space on a recent trip. I love the built/in carabiner that I can use to lock my water bottle in place without fear of it coming free from the side pocket and getting lost (my previous backpacks I have always added a carabiner for this function and this is built in / perfect!). Mostly I love that is made from recycled plastic bottles and is made into cute but functional fabric that I can wipe clean and can stand up to rainy weather.
