Customer Reviews Vera Bradley RFID Mini Hipster

I have two triple zips. Which I love. I bought this bag for the security protection While i travel Would have loved the triple zip to be RIF I've had a hard time deciding where the $ go The coins were a no brainer

I really think this purse is adorable. I received it as a birthday present. Upon looking in the front wallet pocket I noticed it was stained. It almost looks like taco sauce on it. I tried a tide stick just to see if it would come out. It got lighter but that was all. My husband and I was both a little upset. Hate to pay this much plus shipping to find out it has a bad spot. Otherwise the purse is great! Nice size and lightweight.

I love the pattern and the Little Hipster is my favorite style. I'm almost 73 years old and love the crossbody style and the wallet on the front, which keeps me from collect too much change. Weight on my shoulders and arm are important. Comparing my other Little Hipsters to this newest one, I do not like that the wallet area does not open as far and the ends of the strap is sewn down by the zipper of the wallet area. I would love to have the body of the purse a little larger. I would also love to see the original Hipster with a cross body strap. If you could make a Hipster with the outer wallet and crossbody strap, it would be perfect!!

I've been a VB customer for years. The last few years the only bag I carry is the Mini Hipster because I walk with a cane now and need my hands free. I have numerous Mini Hipsters in the old style which has always been great for me. I received my new Iconic RFID Mini Hipster in the mail yesterday and I need to list some pros & cons. PROS: I do love the new strap. I've always been leery of the slimmer strap because if someone wanted to steal it off your person all they would have to do is cut the strap. Another thing I love is the wider pocket on the back which I use for my cell phone. The larger pocket is great! CONS: I'm not sure who suggested these changes, but they goofed big time. First, under the flap you moved the DL window to underneath the flap at the top. What you've done is left the bottom of that DL window open & your DL, etc. can easily fall out when you raise that flap. It needs velcro or something to secure it. Also, you took away the zippered compartment that was underneath the flap area. You've kept the zipper compartment that is on the front of the flap, but it is smaller. The compartment you took away from under the flap was a compartment I use to safely secure things I don't want to put inside the bag or in the front compartment, i.e. my earpods, money. Third, I don't like the charger pocket in ANY of the new bags. It now holds my Chap Stick. I hope you can use this constructive criticism from a long time customer who has more of the old style Mini Hipsters than I can count. It would be great if VB could ask actual customers what they would like to see changed, or kept, in the bags we use the most. Thanks.

I love the size, the integrated billfold, the crossbody style. Love this pattern, it reminds me of the old Botanicals pattern I had quite a few pieces in. The only thing I'm not fond of is there's no magnet closure on the outside phone pocket, I'm assuming because of the gromit I'll never use anyway. Without the snap, I'm afraid my phone will fall out when I lay the bag down. The old version non-rfid had a magnet closure so I'll probably use it more than the new one.

I've had the purse for less than a week and I've already noticed a couple threads fraying. On a positive note though, this purse is the perfect size for my needs and I can conveniently get my phone and money whenever needed. I also love the color and design of the fabric.

I love the purse but the it's strap isn't long enough! But other than that I love the purse.

I bought the RFID little hipster because it is the size that works for me and we travel a good amount. I will feel more confident in and out of airports and walking around in bigger cities. Love the Vera Bradley styles and colors, and now security.

I own a couple of these Little Hipsters. This is the first one I have bought that doesn't have the magnetic closure on the outside pocket. I don't like that. Things fall out that used to be held in by the tightness of the magnet. Most of us won't be using the little grommet to be used for battery charging. Other than that, I have no quams about this purse.

I really like this bag. It is the perfect size and is great for travelling around. The only issue that I have with this bag is that the power bank pocket is too small to fit any of the 3 power banks that I own.

I love the new Ionic In The Loop Keychain!! I have the penguin pattern.. Wonderful functionality and makes locating my keys or carrying them super easy. I've also used it on my ID case for easy portability. My only complaint is the limited availability of patterns. I would love to see it in the Rumba (yes, I know it's going away but still my fav) pattern or solid colors (blues, black, reds, pink!)

I bought the hipster for my granddaughter (12) and she loved it.

So sorry you redesigned this bag. Now there not quite enough hand room in the side zipper pouch that has slots for credit cards, money, etc. ..and I have small hands too. Will not be ordering this bag again unless it gets redesigned to correct this huge proble. Shame as I have several of them and always look for the new prints!

I have this style bag in many different patterns... and love them. So I'm sure this new RFID version will be the same. What I don't understand however is... the 2 different types of zippers: A black nylon zipper that coordinates with the fabric and a brass zipper that sticks out like a sore thumb. Why?

I miss the magnet in the outside pocket and I don't care for the grommet in its place. I carry my phone in that outside pocket and now it slips out when I lay my purse on its side.

I bought the powder Blue leather wallet. The only thing it's missing is a strap so you can convert it to a wristlet. I had to buy a black one not really happy that I had to do that, but it works.

I recently purchased this purse. I loved it til I went on vacation this weekend. I found the stitching around outer pocket is starting to pull away. I will have to be careful using it for the next 3 weeks til I get home. This is the first time I had a problem with Vera's purses.

It was not exactly what I needed.

The pattern this came in is totally different than the others I've ordered! No unicorns and seemed much darker - dissapointed

The pattern is pretty in the picture, but I wasn't crazy about it once it got here. That's just my taste. Someone else might like it. But it's the perfect Vera crossbody.

The color isn't even close to the picture. The picture looks like bright aqua blue. Closer to a dull green. A lot smaller Suze and the strap hooks are really too big for the purse.

Love everything except the adjustable strap. It is forever in my way!

I love the purse. Could be an inch bigger in all directions. . Problem is the Blak material collects lint . My other one didn't . Have to use lint roller

I really wanted to use this. But it was to small and had to return. I have many Vera Bradley bags and blankets. I need a smaller bag now then all my other bags. I did get the Hello Kitty small crossbody but want a different one for winter. Need to get one in different pattern.
