Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Carson Shoulder Bag

I like the pockets under the flap, one for my phone and one for keys. Open pocket on other side is great for things needed quickly. Inside is roomy enough for wallet and things that need to be secure. I also like the choice of straps.

It is exactly what I want in that it has the inside and outside pockets which I use all the time. My only complaint is in the color. It is a darker pattern in person. Otherwise, I highly recommend this handbag.

Still getting comfortable with my bag but think I'm going to like it a lot??. Zipper a bit rough on fingers at times and body deeper than I expected. Love, love the print, fabric and all the pockets (the organizer in me can't resist tnem!). Thanks Vera!

i wanted to use it for an everyday bag but i get everything it but no room to add anything else it just zips closed. i like the two straps for cross body. i wish the inside pockets were bigger you can just get your hand in. like the totes with the 6 pockets. like the small vera tote which i love but wished it had a crossbody strap

I love the Carson shoulder bag. I have 2 already and ordered a third in the new Bon Bon Medallion. I was disappointed when I received it because I thought the color was blue like denim but it was gray instead. Still waiting for a pattern I prefer.

It is a little bigger than I expected and the monogram seems small for the size bag and there has been alot of loose stitching already.

Bigger than I thought. Pretty.

I wish it had side pockets to hold cell phone, bottled water.

I use this bag daily. I have had several Vera Bradley shoulder bags and smaller bags for traveling which are great for putting everything in them while on the go. The only problem I have found with the Carson shoulder bag, is the inside pockets are too narrow. Cannot fit check book in them. I wish they were wider.

I like it but the color is more muted than the online pics.

I wanted something lightweight and fun. Its the perfect size with plenty of pockets. I love the option of 2 straps.

I like this bag, but too small for what I need. Wish they would make a comeback with the turn lock satchel. That was a perfect size

I use this ad my main purse. I love all the functionality of it. Wish it had one outside pocket on the side for glasses. Sadly, I had no idea these bags were made in China. I thought for some reason they were made in the USA. I have bought several of your bags but will no longer. Very bummed out.

I really enjoy the many features of the bag. The different ways to carry the bag and ease of changing the straps. I enjoy the many ways to organize my bag with the different pockets inside and outside. I only wish it was a little larger

I love the pattern of this purse. I love the outside pockets. I wish the bag was a little smaller. It is also heavier than I normally like to carry.

It is okay, a bit smaller than what I have but it will work. Guess I will just go to the outlet store when I am in Pigeon Forge TN and see the product before I buy.

Its size is good (not too big, not too small), it's functional and comfortable but not too great with caring extra. Not even in the magnetic back area. If I store one too many items in that back pocket, the magnet keeps open and show all content. I wished it had more pockets. I had 'Plenty of Pockets Crossbody' before, which was bigger in size and richer in pockets, but I couldn't find it this time. That's why I ordered this one.

Need to be just an inch better in depth.

I bought this bag after trying out many other styles. I love it because it fits my everyday essentials with alittle extra room. The bag has structure and provides you with two different options to carry it. Plus it comes in some many colors and a smaller size.

I love the crossbody carrying of this style, something I seem to like more as I get older. The strap could be a bit longer. It's 52, and I've seen 56 on other crossbody styles. I'm not a big fan of the exposed magnet closure on the flap covering the outside pockets. It doesn't feel sturdy enough. I love the hidden magnet closure on the other side of the bag.

I really like the design of this purse. It has many pockets both inside and out. The purse is just the right size for me. The only negative that I have is the top zipper seems to want to catch when closing. I am worried that the zipper will not last long.

Love the purse, large and roomy. Only draw back is the longer strip handle is not very wide, would have liked it wider by 1/2 inch to 1 inch more.

Wish the strap was made better. Not like my other Vera shoulder bags

I thought it had the pockets at each end by the straps. They are perfect for small hand sanitizers. Otherwise, I think this will be great.

It was not what I was expecting and could have paid less by going to the Vera Bradley outlet
