Customer Reviews Vera Bradley RFID Mini Hipster

I have so many little hipsters but the new ones are NOT so great! Why change the security snap and the strap width? Thankfully, that horrible nylon lining is gone but why would you change what isn't broken? AND please tone down the LOUD patterns. What happened to the prettier quieter patterns that made us love the little hipster so much? AND PLEASE BRING BACK THE SOPHIE in quiet classy patterns!

I was so excited to get this in a beautiful new print. I already own about 10 and they're perfect for someone who likes to travel lightly. I must've overlooked the description and assumed it was the same but with added RFID protection and the charger pocket. I was really disappointed to find it no longer has the hidden magnetic closure on the backside which I absolutely loved and found very useful. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be buying anymore of the newer versions.

The RFID Little Hipster has been my go-to bag for many years. It has gone through some style changes, but the dimensions have stayed the same. Imagine my surprise when the bag depth is now 1/4" smaller. That might not seem like a lot, but it is. This bag will be going back, and I won't be purchasing again until the dimensions go back. Also, 1/4" less, but still the same price.

The pattern, Provence Paisley, is wonderful. I am disappointed in changes being made to the "Little Hipster". I should have returned it, but did not notice the changes until I used the bag. First, I am not the only one that noticed the lack of Vera Bradley signature RIBBONS on the zipper pull-tabs and the progressively cheaper ribbon quality. Then, there is no consistency in the construction of the POCKET opening length. My cell phone, with the Gorilla case fit perfectly in the pocket of my first Little Hipster. I cannot use the phone in the case (7 long, 5/8 inch wide) with the last two construction revisions! The addition of the RFID fabric may have made the bag a bit stiffer, but the last revision is the stiffest making the inside zippered area able to hold much less. In addition, the pocket on the last revision has lost its piping along the edge. Lastly, the latest change is the construction of the middle zipper and location where the strap is sewn on. PLEASE go back to the original construction of the Little Hipster over the shoulder bag.

I have purchased this purse several times. They now have changed the width of the purse. I will never buy another Vera Bradley product. Their shipping almost costs as much as some of their items on sale. I used to love the product and the company. :( Not anymore

I have many bags,but sorry I ordered this one,to small,can not fit phone etc,if it was wider

This bag was smaller than I was expecting. Putting things in and taking them out is awkward. I will be returning it.

Disappointing and I will never purchase Vera Bradley again unless you manufacture in the US!!

I have 4 of these but this year it is smaller. Returned

Love the color:pattern but too small. Not what I expected.

It is too small and I will be returning it.

Dry disappointed in the item

Was completely off color. Green is basically brown and it had very little flowers and in the wrong colors. Sad as this was supposed to be an appreciation gift for my longtime Vera Bradley fan mom

Thought it was grey background and it's green. Dislike that color so much so gave it away.

Strap is too short. Causes the bag to fall forward and hang by stomach instead of hip/back

Loved all my previous mini hipsters. This new style is terrible. The front pocket with snap closure is way too small/ tight and everytime you put your hand or something else in there you snag the card holders. It's not a wide pocket like the old style so good luck. The small front zip pocket on the old style was MUCH better. You can't fit anything in the "middle" zippered pocket on this new style. Will definitely be returning this and I guess after all these years looking for a new not Vera brand bag.

Love the wallet part but main part too small for phone and eye glasses

I gave this to my mom for Mother's Day and the second time she took it, the strap broke. Could you please contact me and send me a replacement? I buy her and myself Vera Bradley bags every year and you pay to much for these for them to break after you get them.

Product made very cheaply. I own several of your handbags. Inx fact i own 2 of the same style that i ordered because i loved them so much and the lasted a long time, i don't think this new one will last one season.

Size of purse was perfect but was so thin couldn't even hold wallet and sun glasses. Had to return

Small in size than the actual photo on the website. Item would be perfect for teen. Straps can be adjusted, but stick out unevenly. You can only fit a small amount of things cell phone and small wallet.

I recently learned by email that this is RFID only where the card slots are. I was looking for a bag that had RFID thru the whole bag. I would be sending back but it's past 60 days. I purchased this in blue aster.

I love the mini hipsters. I love the plum pansies. But, the purse I was sent has a twisted handle that does not hang smoothly. I either have to try to fix it myself or pay to return it

I was very disappointed in the Little Hipster, as it is so different from the one I needed to replace. The straps were very stiff and hard, and the front access to cards, etc. doesn't open enough to get to cards, cash, etc. I am returning and will continue using my old little hipster.
