Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Performance Twill Triple Zip Hipster Crossbody Purse

The Triple Zip Hipster has been redesigned. The thickness has been diminished. This is my 3rd Triple Zip Hipster. I have been very happy with the 1st 2, but this one is too small for my everyday use and definitely too small to fit my umbrella in on those rainy days. The lining is loose in all sections getting caught in the zippers occasionally. The pocket I use for my cell phone has been made of just the lining material and a pleat added. It is now hard to get my phone in without using 2 hands. I am very disappointed with this remodel of the Triple Zip Hipster. Not only is this not a good size for me but the quality seems to have diminished. I guess I need to begin looking for another manufacturer.

The purple is a beautiful color that works well into fall. However, where as last year they went back to fabric interiors, this one as well as all their bags is back to that cheap vinyl. The front is designed with zippers to hold many compartments, but that makes your bag too front heavy and difficult to put things in the main compartment of the bag with the exception of your wallet and a few small items. It is nicely organized. I find it useful only for me to know what part of the bag is holding what I need.

Love the idea but not the same as my other 3 zip hipster.

I wanted it to work but it just doesn't for me. My objections probably don't relate to anyone else.

I bought three bags for myself as a birthday present. I am having so much difficulty with the #%*&@# zippers, I am thinking of taking 2 back.

I've bought 5 of these purses & this is the first one I have a problem with but it's a big one.... The new zipper is catching & getting stuck, it seems cheap to me which isn't what I expect from VB! Also they changed where the pockets are in the outside pockets from bottom to top & that is not as handy to me. These bags are GREAT for traveling & not having to carry a big bag as they carry a LOT!!

I need more space inside. The inside doesn't expand wide enough for all my stuff. It has enough compartments but all are really not deep enough. Wouldn't by this style again. I have owned 2 other bags and have been satisfied with the tote and crossbody.

This is a very nice purse. Just not pleased with the pattern. Has a thick bulky along the top of the large compartment. The pattern is more like a screen print. I started to use it. Thought I could live with it I am looking for a different pattern. I suppose I am stuck with it.

The zippers were messed up soon as opened the package. I've always loved Vera Bradley but the quality has changed.

I carry the triple zip most of the time... I wanted an Iconic, so I ordered this one, the pattern is beautiful, and I love the way the zippers look on the front, but the lining is so bulky it takes up too much of the inside space, not roomy like my regular triple zip!

I own 3 of this style bag and love love them. However, when you changed the design slightly, you ruined perfection! Too small to put anything on the main compartment, exposed zipper is unattractive and scratchy against your arm. Please go back to the old design. I won't buy the new one.

I have several of the triple zip hipsters. It is the perfect bag for me. So when I saw this print I had to have it. It is beautiful to look at, but you changed the size and now they are smaller. Disappointed that it doesn't carry as much as it used too.

I have eight of this style and they work fine--size, weight, everything. Have had cancer and these were great. Now they don't work. You made them smaller and my things don't fit in there right now. WHY DID YOU DO THAT? So disappointed. Now I don't know what I will use.

My purpose in buying this was to have a bag to carry my iPad in, so its perfect for that. Although there are pockets for other things, I could use a little more room in it so I don't have to carry a separate purse. My other hipsters are not so flat, so I was startled to see this when it arrived. I will keep it as it serves a purpose, and I really love the Snow Lotus pattern.

I thought that it was going to be bigger, couldn't fit my wallet in the center with something in all the zippers. Very sad.

It is generally OK. Love the lilac medallion pattern. I don't like that it doesn't have a bottom like the original. Also seems a bit smaller. Quality not quite the same. Pockets not as convenient. Why did Vera have to try to fix something that wasn't broken? Would recommend but with full disclosure about the drawbacks.

I just got this and already discovered my Droid Turbo does not fit in the cell holder. The outside pockets are deeper and therefore difficult to retrieve things. The material is stiff and not comfortable like the other hipster style. I own 3 of the triple hipster and love them, have bought a number of them for gifts. I loved this pattern which was not available in that style so decided to give it a try. Thinking of returning but such a hassle.

The quality seems fine. I just like the size and configuration of the Triple Zip much better. The Iconic just isn't as suited to my needs.

Haven't used this yet. Got the Lilac Medallion which is very pretty. I'm planning to use this for travel. It will hold just what I need. However, please bring back the contrasting cotton interior and the wider straps.

I already own a triple zip hipster. love it and its design. thought this one was going to be different because of the charger but it is not. I actually returned it because I could get the same effect with the triple zip hipster I have and an external battery pack you can purchase anywhere. A little disappointed, but when I thought about it if you couldn't take the battery pack out you couldn't launder it

Returned this as the material makes the purse heavy

Color is way off! It's gray, not green!

I have this bag in a pattern. Love it so much that I wanted it in a solid. Was SO disappointed that, even though it was the same name, it was a deeper size purse. Really was sorry. But I cannot use one like that so I had to turn it in. I love that they accepted the return in an outlet store. That meant a lot.

Too large. Very complicated to return

I returned this bag. I like the floral hearts and the triple zip is my favorite but was a little disappointed with the color in person not as bright as what I was expecting.
