Anyone have the Vera Bradley Glenna tote?

I have been looking for a larger sized VB bag, and I came across the Glenna tote. I love the Canterbury prints. Do any of you ladies have this tote?

Today I received two Glennas today; one in Baroque from the Vera website, and one in Clementine from eBay. They are both beautiful but I'm not overly thrilled with a few features.

First of all, the inside slip pockets aren't quilted. I wonder if this bag has been redesigned. Does anyone have an older Glenna with quilted inside pockets?

I also wish there were magnets on those two large outside pockets. They are both very large and I feel like anything could fall out as there's nothing to keep things secure.

I'm going to keep them because they are really pretty but I'm not 100% happy with these features.

As far as I know, the Glenna is one of the newer style totes and was never produced with quilted pockets. This is the direction VB seems to be going.

I have two Glennas and I have carried them all over - work, games, etc. I have never had an item slip or fall out of the pockets.

I think my problem is that no other bag compares to the Villager as far as I'm concerned, except the Betsy which is really just a smaller version and also discontinued.

Everything about the Villager works for me. The six roomy inside quilted pockets, the outside pocket with a zipper compartment, the longer straps, the shape and the size. Perfection!

Thank goodness for eBay!

I have it in Canterberry Cobalt and Magenta, love it. It's a good size, lots of room, and I need to have outside pockets. I like these because they're deep enough that things stay put in them. And, important for me is that the straps are long enough that I can wear it over my coat and not feel strangled!

I have the Glenna tote! I purchased it last summer in Jazzy Blooms for a summer bag. I LOVE it! It holds everything! I saw the Emily bag and I really like it also!

I have the Glenna tote in the quilted black microfiber. Love it! I like the convenience of the huge outside pockets on both sides, but I also wish the top zipper wasn't recessed so that there would be more vertical room in the main compartment. I'm surprised to see that it's machine washable since it has silvertone hardware.
