Our take on the Vera Bradley Outlet Essential XL Backpack in Coastal

The Vera Bradley Essential XL Backpack is a soft, quilted cotton backpack with a 40-liter main compartment, aimed at shoppers who want a roomy carry-on or campus bag in a printed fabric. It is far larger than Vera Bradley's everyday backpacks and most fashion backpacks, so it swallows a weekend's clothes or a full semester of books. Owners rate it highly for space and the Coastal print, but the soft cotton shell and single top zipper mean less structure and protection than a padded laptop backpack. It suits travelers and students more than commuters hauling electronics daily.

Questions and answers

Is this backpack big enough for a weekend trip?
Yes. The 40-liter main compartment fits two to three days of clothes and a toiletry bag. It is closer to a small duffel than a daypack.
Does it have a laptop sleeve?
No. There is no padded laptop compartment, so a laptop needs its own sleeve and sits loose in the main bag.
Is the fabric waterproof?
No. It is quilted cotton, which absorbs water. Use a rain cover or a dry bag for electronics in wet weather.
How does it compare with Vera Bradley's smaller backpacks?
It carries roughly twice the volume of the brand's everyday backpacks. That makes it better for travel and school, but bulky for daily errands.
Can it be used as a carry-on?
Yes. At 40 liters it fits within most airlines' carry-on size limits when not overpacked, though it is soft and will compress under a seat.
What is the closure like?
A single zipper runs across the top and opens wide, so you can see and reach everything inside without digging.
