Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton On the Go Crossbody Purse

I own 4 bags On the Go in different patterns. It has lots of pockets and I love the 2 side pockets. I keep my phone in one and my glasses in the other, always handy and easy to get to. Lots of room on the inside with additional pockets for everything and anything, including my E-reader. I can not say enough about this bag. I highly recommend this bag.

As usual, Vera Bradley knows that ladies like pockets inside handbags. This bag has 3 quite utile pockets and one zipper compartment inside, and one zipper pocket on the outside. The 2 pockets on each end are quite small, but I've managed to tuck a packet of tissue to be readily available. This is a functional, attractive bag to use every day.

This is my favorite style of Vera Bradley purse...I must have 40 of them in different colors! This color/pattern is really pretty! It is a shame that it is discontinued already! I don't carry anything else! I love the durability and style of Vera Bradley!

I like the size and the fact that it is not too deep (for losing things in the bottom). It has several pockets in the right places for keeping thing separate. And it fits nicely on my shoulder.

I love my bag but sure wish you had a checkbook cover to match it. I already have a matching wallet. Sure would be nice to complete my set.

I really like the purse it is the perfect size, fabric and construction are really good. Only one con I have a Samsung phone and it does not fit in the side pocket. Wish that was a little bigger.

I bought the bag as a bag to use while running errands, but ended up using it all the time because it holds everything I need to take with me, it is a keeper. Nice size, love all the pockets.

On the Go Crossbody is a great bag if you want a bag that holds everything but isn't so big you can't carry it. It holds my sunglasses, makeup, kindle, keys, wallet and many other items. it has plenty of pockets inside as well as being spacious. The one feature that would make it perfect, would be to put a zippered pocket on both the front and back of the bag and to add zippers to the two smaal pockets on the ends for security.

I love this bag from it being a shoulder and it's size. I have been buying this purse for many years. I liked the older patterns much better than the new ones.

My all-time, all-time favorite style of VB bags!!! It's the perfect size, with accessible pockets and the right width strap (that's as important as the right length strap).

I just love this bag. It is large enough to put in my wallet, calendar, check book, etc. that I use daily. The base is flat, allowing me to put in down and dig into it for whatever I want. It is small enough that I don't have items get lost. I bought one and then went back for two more. The pockets are handy. The middle pocket is large enough to hold my I-phone. There is a zippered compartment in the front that is easy to access.

PLEASE DON'T EVER DISCONTINUE THIS STYLE!!! I never had a Vera Bradley purse in my life until about 2 yrs ago.......now I am HOOKED on this On the Go Crossbody style!!! I tend to carry a lot of things in my purse that I consider important to me.......this purse is the only type that will hold anything & everything I need to take along with me! There is a place for everything & easy to find things when I look for them. LOVE LOVE LOVE the 2 outside side slip pockets!!! Cell phone goes in 1 & small hand sanitizer in the other for when I take grandkids out to eat. I just recently bought 8 new ones in different patterns & got them at a fantastic price........4 for me.......4 for my sister who loves them too!!! They will be her upcoming Christmas gifts & I know she will be thrilled! Can't rave enough about this style of purse. Hoping you keep them coming & more NEW Patterns for my sister & I to collect, use & love! Thanks Vera Bradley........ Happy grandma in PA 8/26/15

Just the right size...lots of pockets and zippers. One suggestion: It would be lovely to have an interior key fob like the ones Vera used to provide in her classic bag. It contributes to the safety and security of the owner, especially when she arrives home late at night and doesn't have to go fishing for a house key...

I bought 2 different patterns of this same design - On the Go Crossbody, and am incredibly happy with them both! There are 3 slip pockets & 1 zippered pocket INSIDE, and 2 slip and 1 zippered pocket OUTSIDE! They are medium-sized, zippered, adjustable crossbody bags which are capable of carrying a lot, with minimal effort needed to retrieve contents, as everything has it's place & doesn't encroach on the rest of your contents! Living in the DC area, the humidity is atrocious & always made carrying leather bags uncomfortable, as they don't breathe when next to my body. These do!!! The only minor improvement I could suggest would be to enlarge the zippered top so it could open wider (via gussets with the handles NOT sewn to the zipper!). However, if this improvement is not done, I will still buy more of this design because IT IS FANTASTIC!

This is one of my favorite styles of VB handbags! And I love the pink swirls pattern. A recommendation - make an inch taller and inch deeper to accommodate larger phones in side pockets and you will have the perfect bag!

I love this Vera bag. I do not understand the earlier negative reviews, but to each their own. It is a beautiful classic navy that matches well with almost all patterned Vera wallets. I am currently using it with my Lucky you turnlock envelope wristlet. They compliment each other so well! The straps are stiff, but are loosening up. The bag carries so much to be so small-and it does not get bulky or overflown easily! It is classic and gorgeous, also professional. Anything colorful Vera wallet helps compliment its simplistic look. It was pretty expensive, but it's also more natural and muted, so I suppose that is to be expected. I will not use another bag for a long time. Thanks, Vera Bradley! -a satisfied customer

So pleased with the changes you made with this On the Go style ! I have several older On the Go bags but I like that you made this style a bit larger and added the inside zipper. It is the perfect style .... not too big and not too small ! I have been using Vera products since 1985 and still love them! I liked this updated On the Go so much that I ordered another one...can't have too many Veras

I like the pattern, and all the pockets. Already have this type of purse, and love it, but it's wearing out!

I love On the Go Bags- not too big but they hold everything I need. Pink Swirls is gorgeous!

On The Go is the perfect purse for my everyday use! All my small essentials (lipstick, hand sanitizer, keys, pens, tissues) fit wonderfully in the pockets and don't fall out when I stash my purse in a drawer (on its side) at work. When on a trip I appreciate that travel papers and brochures fit comfortably (and securely) inside my purse. At a cash register I don't have to rummage through my purse to find what I am searching for - I can reach in and pull out my wallet or a pen without my purse leaving my shoulder. It is the perfect size for me and feels great to wear on my shoulder or as a cross body for my craft show days.

This bag may look small,but boy it holds a lot! I can fit a Kiss N Snap wallet,cosmetic case & various other things in it & it's not heavy on my shoulder.I have 3 now!

has enough pockets to hold everything I carry. Used one for years and love it.

This is the second time I've ordered this bag. I just wanted a different fabric. It holds lots and balances very well on the shoulder. It also washes beautifully. I've tried others but this is one of the best handbags I've ever known. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I bought this bag to replace an identical one I had gotten as a gift. I only use one purse, so this gets used everyday. After about 2 years is starting to show some wear. I can hold a planner, nook , and iphone easily at the same time in this bag, as well as all the small everyday incidentals. Tons of space. However, is still a fairly small bag, so I don't feel like I am lugging some huge tote around. Also, I am someone who has to have a purse with zippers so things don't fall out or people sneak in it, and this is perfect.

Love how bright the color is its just the right size not to big but not to small it is now my go to purse
