Can I just put it in the washer?

That is what I have done with my Vera pieces.  |

I haven't washed my large duffle, but I have washed my Vera diaper bag (several, lol) times! I just did a cold gentle cycle, and it came out looking like new.

Just make sure you remove any bottom support pieces, the hard cardboard like stuff. A duffle shouldn't have one. But if you do have a bag and it's not removeable. You aren't supposed to machine wash.

According to Vera check for a cardboard insert and remove before washing. If an insert is NOT removable, it is made of a washable material and can be washed with the bag.

Yup! We wash Baylie's dance bag all the time. Cold water, gently cycle, air dry.

I washed my previous Vera Bradley duffle with no problems. I got the large weekender for Christmas this year and will wash it, too, when it needs it.
Do wash it in cold water as suggested. And I only dried mine part way in the dryer. Then I took it out and "puffed" it up with loosely scrunched plastic bags so it would keep it's shape while it dried all the way.

I wash my duffel in the washer, gentle cycle. Reshape it and let it air-dry.

I've washed Vera Bradley on gentle cycle with cold water. Also, soaked and hand-washed with Woolite - and air dried. They never look quite the same.

I am borrowing my daughter's bag and it kind of smelled. I washed it on cold and am now air drying it. Thanks for the tips!

Good to know! I've been dragging my duffel and tote all over creation lately, so this is info I can definitely use. And funny, I thought about posting this exact question this morning. |
