I do have a large Vera Bradley bag I picked up at a garage sale but I needed one that I could put over my shoulder and for short, overnight stays - especially for hospital stays. It is small so you are not going to be able to bring a laptop or bulky sweaters - but perfect for work and day trips. The side pockets can store your drinks and snacks. Lightweight and fashionable. The all cotton fabric is a delight too - and washable.A lovely gift for a special lady in your life at an affordable price.
