Is the Marcelle big enough for a laptop?

A 16-inch width and 10-inch height fit most 13- to 14-inch laptops, plus a charger and a notebook. A 15-inch laptop will be tight once the bag is zipped.

Is $32.40 a good price for this bag?

Yes. That is the best new price across 4 stores as of November 5, 2026, at Vera Bradley Online Outlet, and it is low for a cotton Vera Bradley shoulder bag of this size.

Does it have a crossbody strap?

The strap is adjustable and the bag is listed as convertible, but the shortest drop is 5.5 inches, so it is designed mainly for shoulder carry. Check the strap length before counting on crossbody wear.

What pockets does it have inside?

There is one zip pocket and one slip pocket inside, plus the main zip compartment. There are no exterior pockets.

How do I clean a cotton Vera Bradley bag?

Spot-clean with mild soap and cold water and air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, since the shape and trim can warp.

Outlet and clearance events are where it drops lowest; the $32.40 outlet price as of November 5, 2026 is well under typical retail, so waiting rarely helps much beyond that.
