Is the Grand Cargo Bag good for a weekend trip?

Yes. It is sized as a travel or utility carryall and holds a weekend's clothes plus toiletries in its main compartment and exterior pockets. It is soft-sided, so pack it full to keep its shape.

Does it have a laptop compartment?

No. It has a large main compartment and multiple exterior pockets, but no padded laptop sleeve. A laptop can go in the main compartment with a sleeve of its own.

Is it machine washable?

It is quilted cotton, which Vera Bradley generally treats as machine washable in cold water and air dried. Check the care tag inside the bag before washing.

How does it compare with a nylon duffel?

The Grand Cargo is lighter and packs flat, with more small pockets, but a nylon duffel is more water-resistant and holds its shape better when full.

What pattern is this?

It is the Sierra pattern, a multicolored floral and paisley print in yellow, orange, turquoise, brown and beige.

Our take on the Vera Bradley Grand Cargo Bag

The Grand Cargo Bag is a large quilted cotton tote from Vera Bradley, built as a travel or utility carryall with a ring of exterior pockets around a roomy main compartment. The quilted cotton body is soft and lightweight, so it packs flat and hauls a lot without the structure of a nylon duffel. It suits weekend trippers, gym and pool goers, and shoppers who want an organized, patterned carryall rather than a plain tote. Against structured weekender bags it trades rigidity for packability and pocket count.
