I was hesitant to buy Vera Bradley when I first met my wife. I didn't know better.. Everything I've bought seems to last and look new forever... pocket books, purses, diaper bags.. my daughter is now 13 and her diaper bag looks like I just bought it despite storing my tools, flashlights and countless electronic cables and adapters in it. This is no different. It looks great has great storage and is incredibly durable.. daughter has three VB backpacks for school, lunchboxes and her Mom the same. Who knows when she'll graduate... I wish VB made full sized luggage and toolboxes... I replace them more frequent... and probably would pay less at the airport for luggage fees as they are are considerably lighter in weight.., five stars and money well spent
