Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Carson Shoulder Bag

Very disappointed. Will return tomorrow. Short strap which they don't really show you, is just plain gray, looks like a seat belt, very rough and uncomfortable. Bag is quite small, definitely does not look like a bag which cost $100. Vera Bradley quality is really suffering. Used to be a huge fan, not anymore. Will never order another Vera Bradley product.

Although a splurge for me, I purchased this bag in cactus green and have carried it for several weeks now. I absolutely love it! The bag is lightweight and the fabric is easy to wipe clean. The straps are easily adjusted and wide enough to be comfortable. The hardware does not make noise and I like the golden color. The built in pocket and hole for phone charger is very useful! I do think having feet on the bottom would've been a good addition.

I own many Vera Bradley bags, and decided to purchase this style in cactus green. I like that it has the built in charging hole. The longer handle is seatbelt like and not very attractive but comfortable to carry. There's something odd about the front pocket in that it really doesn't hold much or it bulges and lays funny. Feet would have been a nice addition, as the fabric tends to attract dirt and is only surface washable. I wanted to love this bag, but only ended up carrying it for a couple weeks before moving into a different bag. Honestly, not a good buy for me, especially at over hundred dollars! Zappos continues to be awesome with super fast shipping and awesome customer service.

I am disappointed in this bag. I usually carry the on the go, and bought this one because it has bigger dimensions. It's barely bigger though, and not in a useful way. The depth is almost identical. The on the go is slightly shorter in length, but has bigger interior pockets than the carson. It also has a plastic zipper opening which is nicer. The carson opening is too narrow and the zipper is sharp to get past. The straps on the carson are terrible. Their are two and they are cheap and clink around and make noise, and are a pain to remove from the plastic tabs. For twenty dollars less I will cope with the tiny bit of less space on the on the go. Better strap, better zipper opening, bigger pockets, nicer bag, and better price.

Thank you for my purse, I absolutely love it. I will be back for more in the summer!

Great bag that holds everything you need all in nice sized compartments . Best prints too!

Liked the size

I love this over the shoulder bag. This is the 3rd Carson bag I have purchased. It is not too heavy. The compartments are perfect. Pansies are a special flower for me. Looking forward to getting it in more prints.

It's so pretty. Can't wait to see my mom rock it this spring

I love this bag - however, you never have new patterns. I feel as though it is being "phased out" and that is a shame! This is the best purse you have.

This is the perfect travel bag. Holds all the basics and has several pockets. This comes with a short handle and a long shoulder strap. I liked the secure shoulder strap when traveling.

Very beautiful. Has lots of pockets so you can be very organized. I'll love it

I love my new shoulder bag especially the new strap on it because it won't wear out like the other straps that made of the same material as the purse

Pocketbook is so pretty and perfect size for everyday use.

This was a present for a family member. She loves the print (outside and inside) as well the 2-handled design!

Having since years bags from Vera Bradley I bought this bag for the upcoming winter month. Its perfect from the design as well as from the quality.

Love this bag it so roomy and has lots of compartments.

The optional straps are great. The size of the bag is great for me. It's the Best Buy in a bag that I have made in a long time.

The gray Plaza Tile is a gorgeous pattern. Love the outside split pockets. Phone and keys are an easy find!

I own many different styles of Vera Bradley Purses. The one I'm using now is just so pretty! I absolutely love the colors and the style of this purse. It holds everything that I want to do carry with me and still have room left for my water bottle when I'm out and about. I have a smaller one for times when I only need to cary my keys, phone and money or credit card. I am always getting wonderful compliments on my Vera Bradley Purses!!!

I love the sunflower pattern. I purchased it in crossbody shoulder bag. This is my first crossbody and really like it.

I have this bag in three patterns & love it.

I was admiring this bag for a while before I bought it. Now I need to build the my outfit around it. I haven't used it yet. I really like the colors and style and it is no light to carry.

I like all the compartments in this bag. It's not too big or too small. I LOVE the pattern. Sunflowers and Shasta daisies are two of my favorite flowers.

Not too small, not too big. Love the outside pockets with magnetic closures.
