best vera bradley bag for carrying books

<p>i'm thinking of asking for a vera bradley bag for christmas to use as a tote for my books the last semester of high school and during college. what size would you college kids recommend?</p>

<p>vera: <a href="http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?colorid=64&sku=181%3a64&%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?colorid=64&sku=181%3a64&&lt;/a>
messanger: <a href="http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?colorid=64&sku=121%3a64&%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/ProductDetail.aspx?colorid=64&sku=121%3a64&&lt;/a>
or another?</p>

<p>i have a tote bag i use now that's about 15x15x4 inches, and i find that to be ideal. but none of these are exactly that. i particularly like the vera and the messanger styles, but i'm not sure if the vera would be too big or if the messanger would be too small. any recommendations?</p>

<p>Hey, I have one of those. They're very popular this year. I don't know what size is best because I prefer using my backpack to carry my books.</p>

<p>The girls at my school only use the 'vera' style .. I think its the easiest to get your books in and out of when you're in a rush</p>

<p>ok, awesome. the vera is my favorite. :)</p>

<p>um...none of them? but if you must, use the vera style. just don't get it confused with every other girl's around you during your lectures</p>

<p>I think most of the people I've seen with them have the Villager style.</p>

<p>go with the Vera style, the messenger style is kind of tacky in my opinion. If you do end up getting one, I suggest getting the alpine black or picadilly plum, becuase i see all of the other colors everywhere.</p>

<p>That thing probably cost $5 to make. Sooooo insanely overpriced, but to each his (her, actually) own.</p>
