Thank you for explaining what's Reactive and what's Lighten Up ❣️ And for the texts in the thumbnail photo, such good information already there ❣️ I do most of my Vera shopping on Amazon, and there they list as "Lighten Up Reactive" , so it's difficult to know what's what... 🙃

Do you have any idea of the pricing on these bags? I am currently on a trip and may switch out my bag. I have the XL Campus bag and am looking for something bigger. The prices people are selling the Journeys for are outrageous. Just trying to figure out a good deal.

I bought mine back when there were still really great deals in the Online Outlet Sale which was very different than the continual Online Outlet they do now. I found a post that I did in the Vera Bradley Buzz group back on 6/27/22: During an OOS I bought that ReActive Journey Backpack in Garden Picnic for $49, retailed for $175.
