Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Carson Shoulder Bag

I love this purse. Big but not too big. Everything I wanted in a purse.

Perfect size. Love all the compartments.

It's just right

like the size and the style

I love that it had two straps as I prefer shoulder bags. It is a little too large for everyday use but it fantastic for travel. Would like to see a little smaller should bag.

This is the bag I've been looking for. Love the pattern. Enough compartments for what I need for organizing.

Every day use

Great purchase

I am very happy with this choice and the lady in the store was most helpful

I bought this as an exchange for the smaller Vera Tote. I have a few cross body bags and even the older versions of the purse backpack (bring it back!!!!). As a mom, I do carry a few kid things, but I have my own epi pens, inhalers, etc to carry. I have two smaller wallets. One for my license, ins cards, etc and the other for my coffee card, debit card, etc. I also use this with a medium cosmetic bag. The pockets are just enough. I do agree with the others on the snap pocket, so I put a couple of items I will never use in there. This bag keeps me highly organized, and I love it. I bought the winter berry on sale, I wasn't sure if I would like it, so I didn't want to pay full price. I live over an hour away so it's difficult to coordinate kids schedules with mine to get over there, making returns difficult. The staff are great at listening to what I want and need. That's why I exchanged for this! I would gladly purchase again.

Love it No problems

This is my all purpose bag. There's room in it for my Planner, my cell phone, my wallet, 2 pairs of glasses and any other things I need to carry on a daily basis. And yet, it's still comfortable to pack around either with the shoulder strap or the cross body strap. I'll probably buy another one of this design in a new color come spring/summer next year!

I love the product and I want lots more pieces . It is big enough and gets quite heavy ....love Vera Bradley products

Love the size and shape of this bag. Holds everything (and I carry a lot of stuff!) but is still the right size for carrying as a cross body comfortably. The exterior pockets are perfectly sized and easy to access. My only complaint is, the snap closure on the exterior pocket seems like it will eventually tear. Instead of snapping onto the bad itself, the snap closes onto a tiny strap that is sewn onto the bag. When you pull the flap pocket to open it, it seems like the little strap could rip off of the bag. It should attach differently. I bought this bag in Houndstooth Tweed and the pattern looks different in real life than it looks online. Online, it looks like tweed and seems very pink. In person, the pattern has more orange in it than I expected and doesn't really look like tweed to me. That said, it's still very cute, and I am enjoying the size and shape of the bag, and the two different straps offer options on how to carry the bag-- both are comfortable. This holds my large wallet, my big bundle of keys, both of my mobile phones, my business-card case, powder compact, lipsticks and more. I'm very pleased with what this bag can hold. Overall, a great purchase!

I would like to see the Butterfly pattern come out in Carson shoulder bag......

I love this purse for my everyday use! I wanted a crossbody purse that was big enough to fit my bulky wallet and this one is perfect! I love the fact that it can be a worn as a crossbody or shoulder bag. Very practical for this momma on the go. I can throw in needed essentials without getting too weighed down like I would if I had a bigger purse. This is what I have been looking for!

Like to take to church most Sundays. The colors are great for summertime.

I use this purse every day. I was going to buy a smaller one but am so glad I didn't. The purse holds my regular purse items as well as my phone, sunglasses and a book when I need one. I just love the color for spring and summer.

Have carried it since purchase. Love the color I bought would have liked it in the new butterfly pattern. Access to interior is smallish especially if you have a full size wallet. Back outside pocket should be a zipper for security. Love the bag.

I use this bag every day. It has enough room for everything and I love the length of the straps.

This has become my everyday purse. I love all the compartments to help me organize. I use the front pockets under the flap for my phone and sunglasses, and don't worry about them falling out or getting damaged.

I LOVE Water Bouquet! I think it is the prettiest pattern thus far! The Carson is very very nice. I have no complaints. I do WISH that I could also buy it in a smaller backpack! I am puzzled that they have not offered one?!?

I can't imagine a more perfect bag. I love this Carson so much. The only thing I don't like is the cheap looking nylon strap. It isn't a huge deal breaker though because the crossbody strap can be adjusted to shoulder length anyway. I got this in the Lilac Medallion which is just gorgeous. The interior is a beautiful pattern too. There is plenty of pockets and plenty of room. I crochet, so it is nice if I want to slip a small project in there if I know I'm going to be sitting and waiting somewhere. I am going to get this in other patterns eventually.

I use this when not working. I love the leather accents to it. It is extremely well made

Use this everyday since purchase.
