   I have a vera bradley but even though it says it’s machine washable I would just like spot clean…but i’m careful like that haha. but if you do (which you probably can because it says so…) I defiantly would not put it in the dryer.

   Hi, Lulu! )

   I recommend you go to the Vera Bradley website and find your tote (or something very, VERY similar to it.) Note that there are links to see more than what is displayed at first. When you find your tote, click on it and then you should see a tab near the bottom of the page that is labeled “Care Tips.” Click on that tab, and it gives you their recommendations.

   For example, I found one that says, “We recommend machine washing (cool/gentle cycle) with mild detergent, then air-drying. Do not bleach.” Another one, however, says, “The Microfiber Collection should not be machine-washed. Simply spot clean with a damp cloth when necessary.” Therefore, you need to be careful how you handle your nice stuff!

   There is at least one wristlet listed under Accessories. One I found says, “Wipe clean with a damp cloth.”

   I would hesitate about putting my nice stuff in the dryer! Dryers are so rough on everything!

   I hope this answer helps you!

   I sell Vera Bradley and yes, they are washable. Make sure you remove the cradboard base if the bag has one.

   A 100% cotton bag, it can be machine washed in cool water on a gentle cycle and line dried. Do not bleach.

   DO NOT put it in the dryer. It will shrink a bunch!
