My Favorite On-The-Go Bag with Vera Bradley

My love for Vera Bradley runs long, far, deep, and is eternal. From my very first Vera Bradley lunchbox in Petal Pink from ‘06; to my first purchase with my own money - a wristlet in Mocha Rouge (which I still have!) back in 2011; to my current favorites- it’s safe to say I’ve been a Vera Bradley loyalist since I discovered them. Thinking back on it, I have so many memories where Vera was there! I bonded with one of my friends Emi over our same-patterened Vera Bradley Backpacks back in High School; my aforementioned wristlet kept my media storage organized throughout college; and I celebrated our love of all of the patterns with my older cousin when I became a Vera Bradley Brand Ambassador.

But now, I need to alert you about my new favorite backpack - VB’s Sling Backpack. It’s like your favorite belt bag - with more storage!

It’s perfect for someone like me, who adores being outside and active. It’s lightweight, and is the key to hands-free fun,

I’m wearing it across my back for a stroll through the woods near our house (keeping an eye out for our favorite birds!), but it’s also perfect for longer hikes and riding your bike. You can also swing it to the front for shopping and city outings where you need your wallet and phone within your reach (and out of anyone else’s!). There’s so many pockets for storage and ample room. I fit a 32oz water bottle, our Audobon bird book, my phone, lip balm, a notebook, a pen, my wallet and sunglasses and there was still so much room to spare! Not only is this my favorite on the go bag, but It’d be ideal for those lighter-classes days for my friends who are going back to campus this fall.

The backpack I’m wearing here in Raspberry Sorbet is made with Vera Bradley’s sustainably sourced ReActive material built from recycled plastic waterbottles (each pack is made using 10 of them!) Vera Bradley is committed to corporate responsibility and sustainability, and since launching their ReActive fabric back in 2020, they’ve saved more than 6.1 million plastic water bottles from entering landfills or our oceans. These small steps can make a big difference in helping our planet - which means more adventures you can go on with your lightweight, water-repellent, durable sling backpack!

And if you’re not a pink gal like me - no need to worry. As always, this bag comes in a huge variety of fun patterns and fabrics, There’s more solid colors (pale orchid and black), summer-ready patterns (a yellow sunlit garden, and beachy really regatta), and their soon-to-be-released fall rose foliage pattern!
