Is it big enough for a laptop?

No. At about 9 liters it is a small daypack. A tablet may fit, but most laptops will not.

A phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small water bottle and a paperback fit comfortably. It is not built for books or gym gear.

How does it compare with a standard Vera Bradley backpack?

It is much smaller and lighter. The full-size backpacks hold a laptop and books; this one is for essentials only.

Is the fabric easy to clean?

It is quilted cotton, so spot clean and air dry. It is less wipe-clean than nylon mini backpacks.

Does it close securely?

Yes, it has a zip top closure. There is no flap or drawstring.

About the Vera Bradley Essential Small Backpack

The Vera Bradley Essential Small Backpack is a compact quilted daypack with a zip top and about 9 liters of space. It fits a phone, wallet, keys, a small water bottle and a paperback, so it suits errands, festivals and light travel rather than school or work hauls. Vera Bradley's cotton quilted fabric and prints set it apart from plain nylon mini packs, but it holds less than most everyday backpacks and has fewer pockets. Owners rate it highly for looks and build.
