Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Little Hipster Crossbody Purse with RFID Protection

Not too big. Not too small. Easy to keep organized. And the Beary Merry pattern makes me smile everyday!!

I had an older Vera B. cross-strap small purse from 2-3 yrs ago. I bought a new one recently & am pleasantly surprised with an extra line of credit/card pockets on opposite wall of flap up pocket in front. I had asked prior to ordering if the company can concentrate on a certain part of the material for my purse, (such as more blue, less yellow flowers), & the text window was closed. Someone got the message when the office opened (must be on East Coast time zone) because they replied @ 4 or 5am. She replied that there is no way to order specific parts of the fabric designs or colors. I do not know if they relayed the message somehow with my order to whoever creates them, but they made the purse exactly how I wanted it: a big blue flower on front flap, (I had asked for blue), less yellow (like I asked), & a nice balanced, tasteful use of the somewhat chaotic material Vera Bradley uses. I either got lucky or they relayed the special instructions, even though they said they could not. So I will say I am pleased with the creation & some extra pockets, the RFID feature, & a stronger strap. Something I am concerned about is the washability & durability. When I received my new purse(s), I decided to wash my older (3 yrs) Vera Bradley cross-strap purse. I washed it by hand in cold water & Woolite soap. It took some work to get the white back to white (in the black, white, & grey paisley material). It fuzzed the thread they 'quillted' the material with, & wore some small holes & thin spots into the material, esp the strap. I would like to hear exactly how I should wash the purses so I don't damage my new one if & when I need to wash it. Thank you for a great use of space on a rather small purse! I do appreciate the design & that is why I sought out another purse just like it from this company. I don't like carrying purses, but this little hipster doesn't make me feel like I'm carrying a purse, and is just the right size for my essentials.

Love it so much and best purchased ever! Purchase and came in within few days after placed the order. Awesome service and love it so much also excellent for me. Perfect for concert, shopping, etc...

I love this size purse for when your shopping. it fits close to your body not big and bulky.

I love the mini Hipster! it holds all mu cards, lipstick, and cellphone. Don't need my wallet, as the card area holds money, cards and change. It is great for a light purse when I go out for an evening with friends. And it's sooo cute! I bought several colors.

I love mini hipsters. So easy to carry and they hold all the essentials I need and want. For example back slip pocket is great for smartphone and zipper on front hold my remote car key so I never have to get them out! I also found that an ultimate card case even fits in the body of the hipster which further maximizes accessibility. RFID adds to the security which is great.

My favorite style love the small cross bodies. I want one in every new pattern.

I love my new bag. It is awesome!

I bought 2 for Christmas gifts! I know they will be loved!!

The perfect size to carry necessities, including a pair of glasses.

I bought it for trips, so I haven't used it yet, but I think it is the right size to carry my cell phone and other necessities.

I used it to connect to my ID holder so that if I just need to run into a store quickly or don't need my whole purse, I can just pull it out and carry it on my wrist. Colors and pattern is very cute.

I've had several little hipster bags and was dismayed when I went back for another at my local Dillard's and they no longer had them. Recently I saw a FB post, I believe, and went to the Vera Bradley website and found the Little Hipster and was delighted they now have RFID protection. I bought one and am thrilled with my new bag. I do plan to buy others. The material seems to be stronger than the former bags and on the new one, the main compartment is almost an inch deeper. That REALLY made a difference for me. Again, I will be purchasing others soon. I missed your offer of a discount on two bags.

Use this as my every day purse. Love the storage and how easy it is to reach for my ID or credit cards!!! Not too bulky or too small ~ and the pattern is adorable

I love the little hipsters! I probably have more than a dozen in various patterns. I use them for shopping trips, restaurants, beach, etc. when I don't want the full weight of my other Vera purses. I find in the late Fall and Winter I can put it around my neck/shoulder and it fits perfectly under my vest, jacket, or coat.

Great purse. Holds more than I expected.

It is just what I wanted. I have another one in a different color.

I Iovethe pink color. Useful. I can find my keys in my purse.

This purse is perfect! I use crossbody purses all the time and this one is a favorite. The pattern is perfect for the upcoming winter season ????

I've loved the little hipster for years and have 5 different ones. Happy for the RFID!

Everyday!

It's my favorite purse because it is small and has a built-in wallet, which also keeps it light. In the past several years. Little Hipster is the only bag I've purchased over and over again.

It is Christmas gift.

Love it! Perfect for my essentials.

I LOVE this small bag and have several patterns. The built in wallet reduces bulk, weight, and the need to carry a larger bag. There is enough space for my essentials and a few extras. Light enough to carry all day without shoulder or back pain, the strap is long enough to wear the bag cross body leaving my hands free to do other things and keeping my bag close and secure.
