Vera BradleyRecycled Lighten Up Reactive Deluxe Water Bottle Crossbody Sling Bag

I bought this bag with a very specific purpose in mind, for use as a carrying case for the wine glasses I use while on the annual Georgia Wine Highway events.Though not intended for wine glasses, I've found the external pocket secure enough to hold both stemmed and stemless wine glasses of all shapes and sizes. The handy cinch strap keeps the glasses firmly in place allowing me to swing it around my neck with ease or plop it on a seat in my car without a second thought.There's an additional flat, zippered pocket I use to hold festival passes, tickets (or the Wine Highway pass books) making this the ideal grab and go kit for back to back vineyards.Aside from the specific purpose I intended for the bag, I think this is perfect for carrying a water bottle into various parks, festivals, tourist hotspots etc while also having space to keep keys, cash, cell phone, souvenirs, etc.As one would expect, the build quality is excellent, durable yet light weight.Really the only downside in my mind is that with most ball parks, festival grounds and football stadiums requiring clear/see-through bags, you won't be able to take this everywhere.Otherwise definitely get it.

So a totally NOT Vera Bradley bag arrived. It's OK quality if the bag what I thought I was buying. But the bait and switch and marked up price is super not ok. Disappointed because it was a gift. Will likely return.

I now have 2 of these bags, rotate them for the season or wardrobe. Perfect for taking to theme parks!

Great gift for my oldest and they loved.

This bag is on the small side (inside) and I wish the opening was a bit wider, but it does the job. I am able to fit a large water bottle in the front. This bag is great on hot days when I don’t want to physically hold a water bottle.
