Great review! I love this black nylon regular size Bancroft backpack. The only thing that is stopping me from buying it is that it does not have the hidden zipper pocket behind the trolley sleeve. It's such a bummer as it's a deal breaker for me 🫤

Lithos looks so much like that black lug backpack you have.

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us!😊

I feel like vera is trying to reclaim their spot because many other plain brands have now become much more popular

So good to see you, again! I’m an old dog, I don’t know the first thing about instagram. But, everything I need to know about life I’ve learned on RUclips. So, please jump on every now and then and say, “Hello”. Again, I’m an old dog and prefer old/original Vera Bradley classic material. My last purchase was the Sunflower Bucket Bag. In my opinion, Original Classic Vera Bradley being different than other companies is what made them desirable. You couldn’t get their fabulous bags anywhere else!

Will it fit a 40 oz Stanley in the side pocket?

I agree they will back peddle. This was a wrong way move . I’m an old school Vera lover and seeing what they have now is just not appealing to me (I’m 50) I still have my first bag from 1996! I sure miss the patterns. Thank you for sharing all your thoughts.

Great collection!

Lately I have been looking at Bella Taylor bags, anyone else every buy them? I love their designs

I hate the rebranding! Goodbye Vera

I am horrified and disgusted with the direction of Vera Bradley. There is an amazing group of Vera girls who have been committed to the brand for many, many years. No one is happy. We are not on board one bit. No more Vera for us.

Love your hair!!

Love your videos! Thanks for coming back and sharing. Your hair is always gorgeous, but this haircut is super, super cute!!! I agree about the purses. Straps too skinny and most with no zipper closure. I waited years before buying a Vera tote waiting on that zipper closure.

It’s always a pleasure hearing your thoughts. I haven’t purchased anything yet. The butterfly pattern is cute but I am still on the fence. Thank you for taking the time to post this👍

I really like their new patterns, but I absolutely don't like thin shoulder straps, and the new purses lack inside and outside pockets. Also zipper top closure is a must for me.

I Absolutely love that bag! I regret not buying one, and I have been wanting one for years now‼️ I have been searching the internet for one. Now that Vera Bradley has changed, I think that was the prettiest pattern and color of all.

Comment about the hidden pocket: I have not bought a Bancroft backpack but I did look at a nylon one like yours at my local department store to specifically see the hidden pocket. It didn't have one either. I'm guessing the samples that they used to film their videos had the hidden zipper but it was left out of the final version. That turned me away from buying a Bancroft because I adore my hidden pocket on my campus backpack.

Hey vera, our lady, potatopeach has spoken, you have fallen off the wagon, and are tumbling fast down the cliff.

I got the same little zip organizer the price was great I love that purple pattern and it’s perfect for my bag without adding bulk. I wish they had that pattern in more bag options though it seems a little more limited.

Loved the vid Kelly!!! I love that this bp is petite friendly! One thing I do miss is the VB custom section.

I saw the same RUclips video. I ordered the large Bancroft and was confused when I saw it didn’t have that secret pocket. I thought I misremembered or that maybe it was only on the regular size. I went back and read the specifications on both sizes and it’s not mentioned on either. For a moment I just thought I thoroughly confused myself, glad it wasn’t me 😁

Thanks for sharing the new patterns

Thank you! I enjoyed the video and got a good glimpse of the new rebrand and outlet

I have the new bag charm as well!

I like seeing what you got. I still haven’t found anything from the rebranding that I like or want. Maybe if they come out with more brighter patterns, which I did hear from someone who talked to an employee.

Heyyy!!! I also haven’t been buying bags since the beginning of the year. It’s so overwhelming and expensive keeping up with all these new bags. I’m trying to appreciate and use the bags I already own😅

From all of these videos--what I am hearing is: People loved their original unique patterns... but they didn't buy them.

New subbie. I love Java Blue. My very first VB was the saddle up in Java Blue. I still have it - it's easily 10 years old. I bought a Frannie in Limes Up from eBay for $10! She needed a bath & has perked up a lot. Used her today. I LOVE Frannie!!! I'm definitely getting another. I stuffed her good. I'm blaming you. You're trouble. Lol love your reviews, so thorough.

VB is not the same as 15 years ago. The quality is cheap

I love dreamer paisley sm

Can you tell me the name of the small bag that you switched from. Thank you

I just got home from a vacation and I could have used the packing cube. I have a bunch of Vera Bradley purses. Thank you so very much for sharing this video with me today Karen Nichols

I bought a vera bag last year.. my last time i will buy anymore tbh. The quality is lower imo. I had a zipper break off one the first 2 months. Ive had bags for 20+ years, and those zippers are still on!

I agree that they were not selling as well. I used to buy multiple items a year and now I might buy 1 item a year. I haven’t liked the patterns lately. Now I buy from the Disney lines.

I totally agree. I ordered some new pieces and will be sharing a comparison next week. It's not good. I understand that they needed a change, but this was not it. They just let go of their uniqueness. I heard someone say once that when someone wants an iPhone, they want an iPhone. Meaning that if someone wants a lululemon belt bag, they want a lululemon belt bag, not a Vera lookalike. If they did market research, they used the wrong group. If they would've gone back to some of the original patterns for a vintage launch, they would've knocked it out of the park. IMO.

You can’t buy off the outlet unless it’s an open sale, right?

Very interesting video. For the past 10 years, I haven't entered the VB store 20 minutes from my home. This VB store is in a HUGE tourist town. The clerks ignored me the last couple of times I visited the store. Now I search thrift stores for VB.

their old style is so unpopular for real that if they keep it people will see buying from them as being totally uncool and won't purchase any new styles either bc most people by me are made fun of for owning any Vera B

you do know basic bags all look the same lol

vera B had been ugly and out of style for YEARS, no one likes it anymore and it is actually uncool to own one now

You know what’s funny? Zoe is the epitome of the “old” Vera Bradley 🤡😂

Omfg WTF HAVE THEY DONE?!?!? I JUST SAW IT!!! I’m heartbroken 😩 the ONLY reason the brand existed and was beloved, HAS NOW VANISHED. Idk how they’re doing to make it through this. Cause AW HELL NAW.

I like your outfit 😊

I literally just got into VB in the past couple months because I started thrifting and find it often. I generally carry simple and clean lined bags but I just don’t need VB to be modern. I’m 43 so I’m solidly in their demographic and I just like the classic look of the original bags. However, I agree that they must just not have been doing great and this is a Hail Mary. Well, at least there are many years’ worth available for resale.

Unless they were trying to get the rest of the patterns out before the rebrand.

I’m glad they don’t have Disney crap anymore. I don’t like Disney as an adult and didn’t fawn over it as a child.

I want to try their small bookbag in one of the brown colors but it’s so expensive

I do t like lulu lemon and I never heard of bagu

Yep VB lost me forever. I hate everything they have done. The merch is hideous and the prices are ridiculous. The new CEO should be fired.

There’s still the online outlet and the outlet stores.
