Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Hipster Crossbody Purse

Its a great size & I like the colors t Im not sure the strap is going to last as it feels like a thick ribbon versus a strong strap.

Love the color. Was disappointed how this was made. It seem like they cut corners with this hipster. Wish it had a pocket in front for a cell phone and the pockets are not reinforce with thick material, they are really thin, so hopefully they will not rip. Also, the inside material is too light weight and the seams come apart too easily.

It is different from the Vera Bradley Hipster purse that I purchased in the past. Bigger and less sturdy. The straps are too thin. It will be good for traveling but not for everyday use.

I wanted to love this bag but there are some functional design flaws. The inner slip pockets are a netting material that flare out at the upper edges, catching and limiting ease of slipping items such as my microfiber Vera Bradley wallet, into the bag without always holding the slip pocket out of the way. The outer zippered side pocket for your cell phone is on the opposite side from the loop to attach your keys, so that one item or the other (depending which direction the bag is slung across your body) is difficult to quickly access. On the positive side, the adjustable crossbody strap is wonderful, and easy to slide across your body, even when wearing a winter coat. The bag is very lightweight.

Not easy to carry. Strap is made of slippery material and always falls off my shoulder. Otherwise I'd give it five stars.

Not very comfortable for over the body. Don't like the material

I love Veera Bradley and have many bags but this bag was a disappointment. Actually, I loved the bag but it was damaged. The side seam let go the first time I used the bag. I will be returning it.

I do NOT like the material of this hipster bag... never saw anything about it being a sleek waterproof material... All the many Vera Bradley bags that I have are all cotton washable bags... but I will keep this new bag as I like the colors/pattern of it. I will, however, be very careful about making sure any other bags I order are not this slick-type material.

Cute pattern! However, the strap seems a bit cheap and the top opening is narrower than bag so makes it awkward reaching in.

I like the fabric, and the pattern inside(BLACK style).. But, the mesh inside used for pockets isn't sturdy...Getting my keys out the purse. The key ring got caught in it..Also, its not sewn properly on the material. I haven't had the purse very long. I notice the top side of mesh has torn. If they used better material for pockets inside. I would of given this five stars.

I am a huge fan of Vera Bradley and of the triple zip hipsters. They are all I carry. I am going to be real honest here, I bought this in the gray and the black. I am returning the black because the Vera Bradley logo is the same color as the bag itself, so much so that you cannot see it is Vera Bradley. The vertical zipper on the back of the bag is not normal high quality Vera Bradley as it separated when I pulled it out of the store bag upon purchase. I was able to unzip and re-zip the zipper but now I won't use that zippered pocket as I am afraid it will separate and I will lose what I put in there. Honestly, it is in such an awkward spot on the back that it is very difficult to reach anyway. Another thing is the horizontal zipper across the back of the bag means you can't just slip your phone in and out quick like the normal slip pocket. You literally have to unzip your bag every time you reach for your phone or leave the back of the bag just hanging open where the lining shows. The last thing I want to mention is the inside has big mesh inner pockets. I am worried the mesh is not practical for interior pockets. I am returning the black but keeping the gray as the logo on the gray is enough to recognize it is Vera Bradley.

Love the bag but the inside zip pocket was ripped . ??

No logo on the outside of the bag as pictured. Functional but disappointed. It just looks like a plain black utility bag

Even though this purse is wide and tall, it's too thin to hold a lot of necessary items - they would just settle to the bottom. This is really only good for a student who just carries a notebook and a few items, not an adult career lady.

I like the pattern and the size but the design is not good. It has an exterior side and back pocket with concealed zippers which are nice. But once you remove something from these pockets you have to rearrange the interior to get things back in the exterior pockets because the bag has no structure.. The top zipper is large and plastic and very unattractive. I am using it to remind myself to stick with older retired Vera next time I am looking for a new purse. The materials and designs had much higher standards back in those days.

I do not like the strap. Juse got it and it's shredding.

Large and sloppy looking when full. Sags and has no shape. Color and fabric were good but I did not like this bag.

I'm disappointed in this bag. It is much more pink than it looked in the photos on the website. I also thought it was going to be cotton. I do not like the material that it's made of so I will be returning it.

I do not like the material and I like a bag that is more structured.

I am not satisfied w product not firm enough floppy sturdy I will return I love my other 3 pirchases

I love everything about this bag except when I have it as a crossbody the strap is painful. It's not cushioned at all, rather it's a very thick strap. So very disappointed.

I like the style and feel of the purse but the color way very different than expected. Looked more gray on website, but very green in person, unfortunatley will be returning

I love the bag Wish it didn't have a glue splatter on it from manufacturer

I was loving this bag. Then after 2 months the strap was unraveled. I went to return it. Vera says I am out of my window. I will not purchase Vera Bradley again.

not impressed with the quality
