Handbag – esp the Eloise. It is ladylike and holds everything you need! I definitely need one of those.
Love the tote. I am a mom always on the go. I need space.
A tote that can hold everything. I especially love the pleated tote!
Handbag – reminds of decades ago when women dressed up every day – classic.
A crossbody is a must for moms chasing after their little ones!
I like something inbetween a tote & a handbag. The bucket bag is my absolute favorite- fits the right amount of everything and is perfect for everyday.
I used to be a tote girl to carry all my things, but with all the bags I have to carry for work the crossbody ensures that I never leave my purse any where when I’m on the go!
I just got the tote in lemon parfait and I love it! It goes everywhere with me.
definitely the tote! it can fit so many things and it’s super cuteeeee!
Love the tote; however, wristlet is so convenient + tucks away easily
I also love the pleated tote! Pockets to organize things and enough space to fit everything I need = the perfect on-the-go bag.
Do you really think we could pick just one! If you are traveling you need the crossbody to keep everything close–safe and secure while moving along. But then you need your Vera wallet, double eye glass case, tech case for ipod & buds, tech case for camera, mints, pen & notebooks, ereader case, ditty bag, towel, flip flops, sunglasses, cosmetic case to hold all the cords from camera, ipod, etc. Oh and the hanging organizer is just perfect for all your jewelry and cosmetics! So the Vera tote and/or suitcase of your choice to get all this in!
I have so many different Styles and I use them all but the Tote is perfect to use as a Pocketbook or Tote Bag! Love it!
Love the wristlet. It’s easy to carry and I can get the essentials in it.
I love a tote with a coordinating wristlet clipped to the handles!
My go to Vera Bradley bag is the tote!! Oh does it in handy when I am running into the grocery store or sitting and waiting in the doctor’s office. This bag houses everything I need from office to home. From sun up to sun down it is my everything bag.
The tote..it’s a handbag, it’s a bag for gym, a bag for work, a bag for errands..there’s endless possibilities!
Definitely any form of the Tote! Great for an everyday bag, and equally as great to use as a college bag!
My current fave is the hipster…love being hands-free and it holds eveything I need. (If we count retired sytles, the Small Tic Tac Tote was my perfect bag…just the right shape and size and oh, so cute!)
Definitely Crossbody ! Hands free is the best way to go 🙂
My go to bag is a handbag…whether it’s the On the Go or the Squared Away, many handbags can fit a little extra than your day to day purse items. The Eloise is a classy handbag that has some extra space – it’s a gorgeous style!
Tote all the way! As a busy student with a full class load I need a bag that will hold all of my textbooks, notebooks and laptop-while also looking good.
I need by All In One Wristlet with me at all times! I never go anywhere without it. It’s the perfect accessory and my favorite Vera piece!
The Tote!! I love it
I love crossbody. That way I don’t have to worry about losing the bag.
I LOVE the On The Go! The name says it all! The perfect hands free bag for moms or shorten the strap and its stylish to use anytime!!
I just love my angle tote in pirouette ! So much room in there. Can’t leave home without it.
The tote, always. I can carry so many things in it, yet always look fashionable!
I will probably always come back to the tote. Even if I try to downsize, and just carry the clutch, I will inevitably need more space for my stuff and go back to the tote. Plus, having the option of carrying the bag on my shoulder or in my hand is important to me. I ❤ totes!
Crossbody, definitely! Between class, work, practice, and errands I can be hands free whenever I go! My Hipster, Mini Hipster, and Mailbag are my cross-bodied purses I always turn to.
Definitely the tote!
Handbag for me. Ladylike and just the right size. 🙂
I love a crossbody bag! Makes shopping and traveling easier by being hands free. I take my Hipster on every trip!
Crossbody! Hands down!
Love the Tote! It’s great for daytime and travel, and it can fit a wristlet for going out at night. I can put my phone, lipgloss and cards in the wristlet and I’m off to a theme park or dinner!
Gotta have the tote to throw everything in!!
I love my tote(s) and have the pleated tote on my wish list. It’s perfect to carry with me to work or the store – or to stuff full of things to do when I’m going to be in the car for a long time.
My favorite bag is my Vera in the Versailles pattern. It is perfect for school because it can fit books and Vera Bradley accessories and everything I need! 🙂
Who could resist that tote in forkloric!!
My go to would definitely be a tote – right now, my favorite tote being the Pleated Tote. I love my Hipster, but if I could only choose one, the roominess of a tote would be it!
For everyday, I use a handbag. Right now, I love the Stephanie. But when I’m traveling, I always use my Hipster. It holds everything I need and keeps my hands free!
Tote! And Vera or Get Carried Away for days with an especially large amount of items 🙂
I must have my All In One Wristlet. It is the epicenter of my life – while I adore my bags and totes, the All In One holds everything important and necessary for outings, in the smallest, most convenient package EVER! I love it and quite honestly couldn’t live without it.
I love the cross body style! Just easy!
I always end up with a tote. I usually carry a small handbag or wristlet inside it for quick errands, but the bulk of my stuff gets carried around in the larger bag so I can always have my essentials with me.
I have to say I grab my handbag, but of course my clutch wallet is inside, along with my cosmetic bag, (small and medium) jewelry bag that has other neccesities in it, and have had my little jewelry box in it…. and that way even though I have the tote, everything is all organized… oh and on my keys is my key changer with a little cash and my debit card, so if I am in a real big rush or want to just run in and out of a store… I grab my keys!!!
Recently bought the bowler….absolut favorite! Lots of pockets and terrific access as the main compartment has a large wrap around zipper! Will definitely get another one in a different color!
You can’t go wrong with a handbag! For a minimalist such as myself, simple and immediate access to essentials while traveling is a must. A Vera hand bag provides just that – with style 🙂
Tote – my messenger bag goes to both of my jobs with me. It carries all the essentials for me to be productive.
Definitely a tote – room for everything!
Definitely Tote! As a career woman, graduate student, tech geek – the tote keeps me organized on the go with style! :o)
I am definitely a tote bag girl. I own a few in different patterns and LOVE them. Holds everything I want and need with me.
The tote is perfect for any occasion!
Well… this was a hard decision!! I have several totes that I use every day, carrying all of my books, papers, and computer back and forth to work. And currently I am carrying the new Lizzy in Boysenberry 🙂 This is my first crossbody. I wasn’t sure I was going to like this kind of bag…. But I love it! It is perfect for shopping too… Hands-free!
Definitely the pleated tote for busy days in class!!!!
I love them all! I must say the Tote because I am a mom and a teacher.
For sure the tote. I love being able to pile stuff into it!!
I love the larger handbags with compartments & a tote. On weekends
running errands I need both. 😉
Crossbody, crossbody, and crossbody!
Tote..perfect for throwing kids things in for Dr. appts.
Handbag most likely.
Love the crossbody! Hands -free is great!
Crossbody keeps my hands free and it’s easy on my back. Like the rest, I do love them all!
I can’t decide… I LOVE them all!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the tote because you can throw everything in it and go.
CROSSBODY! Not to big buy plenty of room for daily necessities for my daughter and myself. And comfortably hands-free….because what mom has a hand to spare? 🙂
I love the handbag and I would get that in Lemon Parfait and the Crossbody in Folkloric!
Tote bag for sure!
The Villager is my go to bag. It is not to big, but I can still carry my planner and notebook, with everything else that I carry in my purse.
So hard to decide but I am really loving Eloise in Blueberry. It will carry anything I need, Taxi Wallet, Kiss Me Twice, Kindle, Sun glasses, phone, and if I’m traveling even my Clutch Wallet for an evening out. Just all of the necessaries.
Love the Cross Body and the new larger Cross Body. Perfect for travel to have hands free.
Tote because it’s so useful. You can put as little or as much as you want in it. And great for traveling.
Definately Crossbody for hands free but I would like to see more solids, I am a one purse person, and would like to see more in the navy and black that was available earlier this year. I really like the Crossbody Wave.
Not Blueberry, Boysenberry! :>0
Love, love, love the crossbody purses! I have the mailbag & hipster in the patterns, but I would absolutely adore a restyled microfiber black hipster!
I would use a crossbody for everyday but if I had to choose one it would be a tote. You never know when you need room for snacks, a sweater, books……….
The tote is my to go to bag! It still works as a purse, but it is so much more!
When traveling, I think that the crossover would defiantly be the way to go, with pockets to stow the little nick knacks away, but also a comfortable strap that balances the weight.
I wish I was a clutch, but let’s be honest: I’m a tote.
I want and NEED a crossbody mailbag or hipster. My hands are always full, and they are soooo cute!
Crossbody! When I’m traveling or even just running through my day, a the crossbody style organizes everything I need, but keeps my hands free. I’m always at the ready to hold a hand, pull my luggage, or -if I’m a lucky girl- simply hold a latte!
Handbag first! Then a tote….with a clutch in it…..I know, I know…
Wow I literally just had a panick attack after reading this question. Only one, how could I possibly choose just one. I went with the tote figuring I could hide my other bags in it. Sometimes you have to cheat. PLus I have the Take Me with You Tote and it takes a lot of crap. I love that thing.
The tote is the best. Because in the tote you can carry your Vera lanyard wristlest make up bag eye contact case and all other accessories! Atleast that’s what I do. All the same style maybe mix and match but nothing like seeing that cute lanyard hanging out! My favorite!!
I love the crossbody because I like having my hands free when I am shopping. For me it is easier to get my celll phone in and out of too.
Definitly a crossbody; it holds all I need. It is also easy to just grab through over the shoulder and kneck especially at the ballfield.
anything that can hold my sofa, a floorlamp, and other things that may come in handy. : )
Handbag or a tote. I love them both. But I love my duffel too. I love having an option to be me when I travel not just plain black. Thanks
For travel, I love a tote to carry all my goodies. For shopping, I love a crossbody to be handsfree. For dates, I love a handbag. My go-to bag would have to be a handbag…not too big and not too small, enough room to fit all of my essentials. And I cannot WAIT to try an Eloise! Vera is just good for everything!
