Era / Decade
Mid-2010s (approx. 2016-2017); Vera Bradley launched several quilted denim collections during this period, notable for the faux-leather logo patch and silver-tone hardware.
Material
Quilted denim (cotton/polyester blend) outer with a patterned cotton lining. Features a faux-leather (vegan) logo patch and silver-tone metal zippers.
Condition
Very Good to Excellent. The denim appears vibrant with no visible fraying or sun-fading. The handles maintain their shape, and the metal zipper shows no sign of finish loss or oxidation.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. Denim is a year-round neutral that appeals to buyers who find the brand's traditional patterns too busy.

Perfect as a daily carryall, work bag, or travel tote.

High confidence. Correct 'Vera Bradley' font on the front leatherette patch; high-quality diamond quilting alignment; signature silver-tone zipper pull. Vera Bradley is rarely faked in this specific material.

Potential minor rubbing on bottom corners (check for white thread exposure); check for denim transfer (blue dye bleeding) onto light-colored clothing; ensure the interior lining is clean of pen marks.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari are best. Poshmark is particularly strong for Vera Bradley collectors, while eBay reaches a broader audience looking for functional work totes.
Selling Tips
Include 'Y2K style', 'Quilted Denim', and 'Travel Tote' in keywords. Take a clear photo of the interior lining as it is the 'secret' feature Vera fans look for. Mention if it comes from a smoke-free home and emphasize its lightweight nature.
