Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Performance Twill Triple Zip Hipster Crossbody Purse

This is my first Vera Bradley purchase and I have to say, I am very happy with it. It's just the right size; big enough for everything I need to carry but not oversized and bulky. I love it. The only thing I would change if I were designing it myself would be to make the inside material a white-based (or very light coordinating shade) to make it easier to find those 'little things'.

Beautiful purse, but it is more blue than purple and does not match the socks if the same name. Still lovely, but wish it was more purple.

bigger than i wanted but still a lot lighter to carry than leather

I feel like the quality of the bags over the past few years have diminished, the purses seem to feel thinner and more course compared to purses from 5-10 years ago. I still love me a Vera Bradley , I've collected a handful of them over these past 12 years.

I love everything about this crossbody bag except the zipper. It takes two hands to zip and my other crossbody doesn't have this problem. Looks like the zipper was sewn in crooked.

Love this hipster...especially the triple zip pockets. However, the main zipper is difficult to zip as the end of the zipper sort of sinks down and has to be pulled up and straightened out to zip it close. This is a pain. Not sure if they all do this or if mine just is flawed. I love everything else about this purse, though.

The leather piece that is on the zipper broke after using for just a couple of days. Otherwise the purse is beautiful and functional

I use the crossbody for everyday use. The convienant size of the Pocket sections makes organizing a breeze.

Like the return of the zipper ribbon. Strap is still too stiff and narrow to be comfortable. Bring back the wider strap.

While it was nice it was too small for me. I sent it back.

I like this bag, though it's not one of my favorites. It does tend to get bulky due to the flat style. It's great for travel, to pack, or if you just carry a few things. I think it's stylish and shows off the fabric pattern nicely. I wish Vera would include a border pattern between the zippers on all of these. It makes a big difference.

This is my daily purse. I love all the pockets. I use the one in front for my phone. I wish The bottom was a little wider.

I purchased the cloud vine. The pattern is really beautiful but unfortunately, this style bag didn't look good on me in this color. So I returned it. I would prefer to see the triple hipster have more depth

Daily use as primary purse. Like the large pockets and quality of this product. Had personalized, but chose thread color that too closely matched the purse, as it is difficult to determine on a monitor, so could have saved the time and expense or made a better choice of thread colors.

I have purchased several of the triple zip hipsters. I have many options to put everyday items in such as keys, glasses, phone, etc. I love the turquoise pattern and the obvious spring color. I did not give it 5 stars because this is the first one where I had difficulty zipping closed the top without pulling out the end of the zipper to grasp in order to zip it closed. I am conscience now and try not to unzip the top completely. I will still keep it because it is a beautiful handbag.

This is my second time buying a Triple Zip Hipster. My first was in Hawthorne, I bought about a year ago, and Garden Grove more recently. I'm impressed how much it holds because I used to carry a big purse everywhere. Once I began my research and went through customer reviews, I noticed this particular style seemed popular so I was willing to take a chance. I was concerned by the dimensions at first but the material gives enough if I ever have to carry a few extra things. I love this crossbody so much I've been waiting for one that looked more springlike. The bottom zip is where I keep some hand sanitizer, chap stick, cough drops, and a few travel size containers of medicine. In the middle zip, there are two inner slip pockets where I keep a pen and pencil in one and travel size tissue in the other. In the same compartment, I keep a few feminine products. In the top zip, I keep my wallet (also Vera Bradley in Garden Grove; a RFID blocking trifold), some gum, and sometimes my phone charger when I'm on the go. There's an inner zip pocket where I keep my keys. To this inner zip pocket, there is a hole so there's room for a power bank charger. I like to keep my cell phone in the back slip pocket that is connected to the aforementioned inner zip pocket of the main compartment. The note of my concern earlier is in reference to if I can get everything I wanted to fit comfortably in this purse and I have been able to despite my initial reservations. If you're serious about downsizing, I highly recommend the Triple Zip Hipster. I find it as a happy medium myself. The only reason I give four stars is because of the material used for pulling on the zippers themselves. I'm particular when it comes to zippers because I've had zippers break on me in the past. I have not experienced this with any Vera Bradley product. I really like the zippers on the one I have in the Hawthorne. I understand for aesthetic reasons some things may change but I prefer something durable.

Love this hipster and especially the seahorse design! The only reason for the four star review is because the zippers on it seem to be a little on the chintzy side. Other than that the bag is a nice size with plenty of pockets to store your much needed necessities.

I bought this bag to take for a week of travel. It was highly functional. I loved having all the zip pockets, including the internal pocket. It was great for holding my passport and separating out what I needed. Having the cross-body strap and the zip pockets made me feel that my items were secure. However, I felt like it was a little clunky style-wise.

Love it. Only would like it to be a little wider.

Like the old ribbon zipper pull. An iconic brand recognition item that was foolishly changed recently. Dislike narrow strap. It is uncomfortable

I bought this to replace the smaller purse I was carrying. I didn't remember the larger metal zipper closure, and that's really the only thing I'd change. I like the pattern.

I like the adjustable shoulder strap and the fabric is very nice. The zippers do not function smoothly and I would like more pockets or a divider in the main compartment.

Great bag. My granddaughter is using it for small books and spiral. She is 12. I may get another for me

Would like to have more space inside, probably the purse needs to be wider from bottom up!??

A little bigger than I wanted but I like it.
