*Note: I am a different kind of YT’er, and I started making videos seven years ago out of frustration- so many of the reviews I went to watch were more of the individual making the video than the product I came to see- I loathe it when you see objects come out of a bag while not seeing inside the bag or where the item was before being pulled out. My videos are review item focused- I rarely show myself (except my hands). I am chatty, I talk with my hands (I blame my Italian-ness), and I treat my viewers like friends…if that sounds good to you, hello- my name is Jen- lovely to meet you- I am so glad you are here!*

Just ordered this bag for my birthday - got it for like $40 shipped! I love these reviews. Ladies, can we just get used to seeing pads, tampons, menstrual discs etc? Feminine products and time of the month supplies don’t have to be hidden and taboo! It seems like every one of the WIMB videos is like “ope, y’all don’t wanna se that!”

[@XDReject]

Got mine too!

[@PerpetualMommy]

Sorry I am just seeing this. Yay and happy belated birthday! (I have a video, I can’t recall which one right now, where I accidentally toss a tampon at the camera- it just went fitting out of my hand. 🤣)

[@stephenmayo8489]

Thank you so much for your review of this beautiful bag!! I ended up buying this bag in the Rosy Outlook pattern because of your extensive review of this style. I had purchased a tote bag version that I really loved, but when I saw this bag afterwards I was IN LOVE. I don’t want to info dump, but truly, thank you. I am so glad I decided to purchase this bag! 💖💚💞

[@PerpetualMommy]

@@stephenmayo8489 This comment made my afternoon- thank you so much for all of this. ❤️ I truly adore this style- I wish I had purchased more prints in it when I had the chance.

[@stephenmayo8489]

@@PerpetualMommy I’m happy to have made your afternoon! I switched my stuff out of the other bag and put it into this one immediately and I just love it! I’ve been sitting here starring at it adoringly. I do agree that the straps should be wider. They are comfortable as is, but I think with just giving it another 1/2-1” wider would be nice.

[@mrsdudeandkids]

I just bought this in the cheapest pattern on Amazonand after seeing this I'm even more excited.

[@PerpetualMommy]

WooHoo for a great bag at a great price- congratulations!

[@jennifergraetz289]

I have 6 of the convertible shoulder backpacks. They are my all time favorite bag from Vera. The front pockets actually hold a water bottle which I think is awesome.

[@PerpetualMommy]

The style is definitely amazing, I just wish the strap was wider. 😉 What is your favorite VB print in the CBSB?

[@jennifergraetz289]

I don't mind the with of the strap but I brought mine to a Taylor and had the straps taken off and reattached with a lobster clasp. Now I can use it as shoulder bag, backpack and crossbody bag. But I think for the amount of money the bag costs VB should so that. I think my favorite pattern is the star wars pattern. I actually have the bag only in morning shells and far far away. I didn't really like the patterns they released in this style. I have the black, navy, climbing ivy and mulled wine one.

[@diaphanouswaffle]

I think it's great that you decided to create the content you were looking for (wanted/needed, but couldn't find-bc no one had made a YT video on this style yet)...then that helps out the next person who comes along hoping for more info. on this bag. Look forward to seeing future VB videos from you :) -Emma, from VB Friends

[@PerpetualMommy]

Thank yo so much for watching, and for your sweet words. I am so glad you are here. ❤️

[@debrahsimmons7544]

Thank you so much for showing this video. I didn’t realize that bag was so nice. This may have to be on my next order lol. The outside pockets remind me of a Vera Bradley vintage bag I have in the pattern petal paisley. All of your accessories are so cute. I really enjoyed your video and I’m a new subscriber 😊

[@PerpetualMommy]

What an amazingly sweet comment- thank you! I am so glad you are here, and welcome! ❤️

[@HelloHappyMom]

Love the interior! And a pop socket drink sleeve?! Awesome! Great review friend ❤️

[@PerpetualMommy]

Thank you, Sweet Friend!

[@reneeweiss1890]

How are you liking this bag I keep looking at it and not sure I’m so glad that someone finally did a review on this bag! Thank you!

[@PerpetualMommy]

Sorry that I am just seeing your comment. I am absolutely loving my bag still- still wish the strap was wider, but otherwise it is pretty perfect.

[@talaalshafie]

Can a 13" laptop fit in this bag? Specifically the back zipper compartment?

[@amypickett4682]

Great video! Curious…when it is at its longest. Can it possibly be used as a crossbody? It looks like maybe? But hard to tell. 💕

[@jennifergraetz289]

It would not work as a crossbody. I went to a tailor and added lobster claps as connector from the straps to the bag. Now I can use it as a backpack, shoulder bag or crossbody bag.

[@WarthogPrincess]

Great bag and great review. Thanks for sharing. I started my KZbin channel for same reason. Great to see all your awesome accessories too. You know I’m a pouch lover as well 😜 Heard you called “my store” today for some of the new Disney VB. Yay 🎉 Can’t wait to see what you got and what you think about it!! Cheers 😃

[@PerpetualMommy]

Thank you so much for your sweet words. Yep, I totally IG stalk/msg’d you to ask what store you used, but then watched some videos (again) until you mentioned the name. I got your store and I got Anna- so nice! So, if you open your IG msg’s I will be there.

[@WarthogPrincess]

Anna is extraordinarily helpful and incredibly kind! So nice of you to give them a call! Sorry again that I missed your inquiry message. Hope you enjoy all your new lovelies 😃 I think (hope) they will match nicely with my Jujube Amour des Fleurs too

[@PerpetualMommy]

@@WarthogPrincess I was wondering the same thing about JJB- we will see. 😉

[@lakni3]

Nice to see a new video from you! Are you doing better?

[@PerpetualMommy]

Hello, and thank you! Yes, I recovered to ~95% of my baseline. 😊

[@lakni3]

@@PerpetualMommy that’s wonderful news!

[@PerpetualMommy]

@@lakni3 Thank you! 😘

[@kelleydykes8364]

I love this style! Is it brand new? Why didnt they make the harry potter prints in it? Dang it!! I heard their HP contract is running out, too, so we may only get one more on a black background or none at all. ugh. I hope one more and in this style! Thanks for sharing! I always trust your opinion most!

[@PerpetualMommy]

Thank you for watching, and for leaving such a sweet comment- made my night. ❤️ I think this is a new-ish style, but not brand new…I could not find any true reviews on it before I bought it, but I really like it a lot. As for HP, I still need to get a Campus Backpack in the FaH print- it is too good!

[@sagehoney2000]

Is it water resistant?

[@PerpetualMommy]

Hello! While some VB material/prints are water resistant this particular sunflower print bag is made from recycled cotton and is not water resistant.

[@angelmanica1]

Hi Jen, do you happen to have a 15 inch laptop, does it fit here? Thanks!

[@PerpetualMommy]

Hello! I have a 13.9” (?) iPad Pro and that barely fits if I angle it. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any way a 15” laptop would fit.

[@traceyhussey6424]

so a 10" samsung tablet would fit well?

[@PerpetualMommy]

Yes, a 10” tablet should fit perfectly. 😉
