Perfect size! Fits all my clothes and shoes and then some!I wanted a big bag. I got a big bag. It is sturdy and perfect for carrying my supplies to do home visits with children. In fact, this bag is so big, I could easily put a child in it. The personalization was exactly as it appeared on the example. All my VB things out-last the competition.If you don’t want a bag that is big, this is not the bag for you. Cause it’s big. Bigger than big. And I’m so happy that it is!!I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase of a large family tote from Vera Bradley! It’s wonderful for going to the beach, the pool or for a simple overnight bag. The sand from the beach can be brushed off and my items don’t get wet when a sly young one does a cannon ball at the pool! It would make an awesome gift for a busy young, mother, a child bound for boarding school or college or for a grandmother to carry her gifts on her visit to see her grandchildren! Home run, Vera Bradley! Thank you!I'm not quite sure how to use this bag. The fabric is great and I love that I have a great matching set of bags, but this one is way too large. It would easily fit 4 Beach towels and other things, but then how would I hold it? Calling it a family tote doesn't mean it should be so large. I feel kind of silly with it and not sure I would go through the trouble of returning it since the stores are so far away, but I'm thinking about it. Also, from the pictures, the inside looks like a nautical orange. I was very disappointed to receive 3 bags with a bright peach color inside. Not quite the nautical themed bag I thought it would be.This tote is really large and have beautiful colorful design we usually see from Vera Bradley. Colors are nicely coordinated and not too many different ones are thrown in the mix like some of her other designs. The tote has a zipper pocket on the outside and another one on the inside. Other than that is one giant hole. It comes with the buckle holding front and back end together so it looks like a pouch on the top. Without the buckle the opening would look terrible because the fabric doesn’t hold shape. Everything about this tote is great except the shoulder strap. It’s almost silky but slippery and won’t stay put, it keeps sliding down against my shirt. $80 is a good price tag for Vera Bradley bag. I already ordered a tote insert with the zipper closure because I can’t live with all my stuff just being thrown in and all mixed together.Oh my goodness. I absolutely LOVE this Vera Bradley swim bag!!! Yes I know it says it’s just a tote but we’ve used it EVERY DAY this summer for swim purposes.We are a family of SIX!! This holds all of our towels and suits plus water and snacks!!! It has a water repellent inside, hasn’t gotten moldy or nasty like our other one did last year (different brand). The outside is cute. The handles are comfortable and super sturdy. Hasn’t ripped or torn or even had a stitch out of place with the 20 pounds of stuff we put in there daily. Only thing I wish was different would be that the inside pocket was a zipper pocket just like the outside pocket. That would make me feel safer about putting all our phones in the pockets - knowing they won’t fall out instead of just hoping. Other than that this tote is great and I highly recommend it!!This bag is large enough to hold 2 beach towels plus whatever you want to take to the beach or pool with you. It's a heavy duty fabric with canvas on the outside and vinyl on the inside. There's a small pocket, perfect for your phone, on the inside; with a large zippered pocket on the outside.There's a seat belt like clamp to secure the bag, but no sealed closure, like a zipper.The outside is a fun red color with ocean creatures, while the inside is a plain beige vinyl to make for easy cleaning.This bag is also large enough to use for a weekend away. I would be able to get my toiletries and clothing for 2 days inside to make for an easy grab and go bag.The handles are long enough to fit over your shoulder and smooth so they won't dig in.Fun bag that will last a long time.HUGE Tote = BEAUTIFULLY executed, definitely roomy enough for more than one.At = 19" by 10" wide and 16" tall, there's space for everything and maybe the kitchen sink.This is a high end, perfectly stitched, lusciously finished tote.It has one inside, 6" by 8" pocket. And one 11" by 12" outside, zippered pocket.With an inside clip strap (the idea of a breast strap on a backpack) hat holds the 10" sides together.The carrying straps are especially wide, comfortable and strong.It's a tight woven fabric that's crush-able without evidence.No doubt = 5 stars
