They're awfully cute. My teen loves them when she sees them in stores. However, I refuse to pay $80 for a small knapsack! We found some very similar to VB in the Family Dollar store for $6.00 each. We get so many compliments on them. I have used mine every day for 2 years and I just throw it in the washing machine when it's dirty. I don't believe that just because something is designer or high-priced, it's better quality. One time I purchased a beautiful Chanel business card holder and it just fell to pieces within a short period of time. Same thing with Kenneth Cole--and their repairs and service are lousy, in my experience. So, no, I just look for good bargains. Save your $40, and look for a similar bag. They are out there---and you can also make your own. Look for a Simplicity pattern. Good luck!

I don't own one but it's a pretty big fad in my school, and tons fo girls use them. I personally think they're way too small (both sizes, really) to hold much books. Vera Bradley is great quality tho, I've never ever had a problem with their purses & bags ripping or anything like that. For Christmas my mom got me a HUGE Vera Bradley duffel bag and it was probably one of the best gifts I ever got. It holds SO MUCH but i just can't see those tiny backpacks holding anything. My advice is buy a used one off ebay or amazon and if you really love it buy a new one in a more currect pattern or ask for it as a gift.

I love my Vera B Bags- I don't know how the backpacks hold up, but my purses have been through a lot and held up well. I love the new patterns! If it will bring you joy and happiness, you should get it- that's all that matters! Also, you will appreciate it more since you are going to help pay for it!

NO. I promise you that backpack will end up in a closet and you won't even remember it when you are in college. Take that 40 bucks, buy an S&P 500 ETF, and when you are 60 it will be worth $24,783, and I promise you will be glad you did that instead of buying an overpriced backpack.

Yes it is.. Buthonestly, the Chanel bookbags are way better. I have one from there and Louis Viutton, and I get more compliments..
The more expensive the bag (and this is true for most bags) the better quality they are...
Go for it!

No. Jansport is more practical and wears better.
