Was looking for a medium sized travel bag for a 8 day driving trip; we were in and out of hotels pretty much every night so needed something that was easy to throw in the car and easy to handle. This bag served both purposes very well; I have another smaller Vera Bradley duffle bag which I have had for years. It has been washed several times and it has held up very well. I am hoping this one does as well.I love the colors and many storage pockets inside and out. I am happy with my purchase and met my expectations. For reference; I was able to pack for 8 days of travel in this bag with a small toiletry bag on the side.
