Best Vera Bradley bag for the parks.....

[MUNUMom]

I am thinking of getting the VB Travel Belt bag for the parks and was just wondering if anyone had it and what you thought of it. I really like the looks of it, but am afraid it will be too small...any chance someone can help me?

I carry a Vera Bradley mini hipster and I love it. It's small, but plenty of room for my cell, camera, glasses, lip gloss, hand sanitizer, some cash and my CC and KTTW. I carry it cross body and don't have to worry about leaving it behind.

I think it's too small too. You couldn't put your sunglasses in it which is a deal breaker for me. I like the mini hipster too or a regular boring fanny pack. I wish Vera would come out with new, larger belt bags.

What about the hipster? It's a very good sized bag that's what I'm considering for our next trip, and then something to stash our 4 water bottles in ...

I've used a hipster and it's a great size if you're going to want to stash a water bottle in the pocket and several items inside without being overloaded. but my new personal favorite is the Lil hip i think it's called..... you can't tell in the pic really, but it has a strap long enough to go crossbody that detaches. the alternative is that it can attach through a belt so you can use it as a mini, much cooler fanny pack at your waist and be completely hands-free. It is big enough to hold my camera, cell phone, money, id and KTTW card, creditcard, and still be comfortable. Here's the only pic i have for it *insert shameless cincinnati reds promotion here*

I love the mini hipster! I have mine in hope garden and love it. So perfect for the parks, I usually just bring my cell, camera, sun glasses and then I have the vera id holder to keep tickets, cash and credit card. Also fits nicely in those compartments on rides.

I have both the hipster and mini hipster and I love them both. Most days I use the mini hipster but it's nice to have the larger one just in case I have to carry some extra items.

I always carry the mim-hipster. Perfect number of pockets. I call it my theme-park purse!

the Hipster is my favorite

I'm so tired of carrying a bag into the parks that this year I went out and got the VB zip ID case and the matching lanyard. I just want to have my KTTW card and some cash on me. I'm going in August so we'll see how it works out....I am concerned about where I'll put my chapstick though!

I love my hipster for day-to-day use but want something smaller for the parks. I'll have to look for the Lil Hip. It looks like a great size for what I carry!

As a Cards fan, I won't comment on your Reds photo!

I also carry a mini hipster. But I also carry the drawstring Knapsac if I need a bigger bag, but I don't see it on their web site anymore.

Have you seen the hipster in person? I don't think you can get 4 water bottles in there plus a wallet or anything...... I bought the hipster and wound up returning it. I tried putting my wallet, ponchos, camera and a few little things and it was WAY overstuffed. (and pulled on my shoulder when I put it on cross-body) But that's just my opinion....people love them. You might want to consider the mailbag or the VB Backback also.

I got the backpack for our trip in Sept. It's not overly big but it's going to hold alot......

I have the regular hipster and LOVE it for the parks! It's light, easy to carry (don't even know it is there) and the perfect size for all those little "extras" I need...

 

[m2j]

I've used both the mini hipster and the regular hipster...love them both!!!! It's so nice to just have it hang across the body! Very convenient!

I LOVED my regular Hipster! It fit everything I needed - water bottle, wallet, chapstick, hand sanitizer, camera, sunglasses and a couple other things. I love the cross-body style; easy access and I didn't even notice that I was carrying a bag.

Here's a pic of it!

I would go for the mini hipster if you are just carrying a few small things. If you need to carry more than the hipster would be my second choice. I used the mini hipster on my last trip, but we also had a stroller to stash other items.

Cando that is my favorite VB pattern! I just bought two other (non Disney) bags in it.

Isn't it great!? I'm thinking about buying a matching wallet to go with the purse!

 

[GAGERSMAMA]

I am taking my VB mail bag, it's larger than the hipster but the same style and I can wear it across my body!! I have a small child so I know I will need to carry lots of "extras" plus there is a great front pocket to keep our KTW cards in for easy access.
