Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton On the Go Crossbody Purse

Perfect size. Perfect color. I have the Winter Berry. My only wish is I'd like the lining to be the way it used to be.

I have several this style. Many reviews here say pockets on outside too small for phones or too deep for keys. PERFECT for sunglasses. Pockets inside keep my cell phone within reach and reading glasses fit perfect in other pocket. Add a wallet or kisslock change purse and it's perfection. Large enough for my wallet, etc. PLUS my tablet and a bottle of water. My fav style bag.

I like the purple color of this purse very much. I was looking for something smaller so that I wasn't carrying so much stuff. This is a smaller bag than I had before and was able to down grade. I am concerned that I will have similar results with the strap on this bag as I have had on all my other Vera Bradley bags where the straps fabric begins to disintegrate and it makes the bag look ratty and cheap.

Bought this bag in Camocat pattern and I love it. It holds every and is still light weight. The only thing I would add to this bag would be a Slip Pocket on the front to hold a cell phone But it's a great size bag.

I only use this style bag. I do not understand why you have changed the materials you use on this bag. I have noticed you did not change on other styles. Please go back to the way these used to be made inside and out.

I received this purse as a gift for my birthday in Oct., and so far, I'm VERY happy with it. I need a good-sized purse to fit everything that I must carry daily. It would be nice to have an option for shorter straps. I like the number of pockets to be able to organize the items I need to carry.

I loved my older on the go bags, bit the strap on this new bag is horrible. It's way too stiff and uncomfortable when it his your neck. The stap also shows every crease and already is losing its good look. Also the side pockets are now pretty useless with the size of the newer cell phones. Even the inside pocket is very snug on my iPhone 6s with the case on it. Maybe a redesign is due, but keep the basic principle.

I have purchased three On The Go Crossbody bags over the years, as the design with its multiple pockets both inside an out fits my life style perfectly. This fourth one is the first I have had with a problem. When I received my Classic Black bag, I did not immediately notice that the metal pull tab and ribbon were missing from the zipper of the interior pocket. I had already discarded the packaging and paperwork, so emailed customer service with regards to returning the bag. Within 2 hours I received a very helpful response with detailed instructions and a prepaid return label. The defective bag is now on its way back to Vera Bradley, and I shall be ordering another to replace it. Thank you for your help!

Agree with the other reviews about the new strap. Too stiff!!

I purchased the Crossbody in Espresso and was pleased with the exception of the strap. I found it was too thick and felt like is was made of cardboard. I have purchased a few bags from Vera Bradley and I definitely notice the difference. I notice the bags are not made as nice as they use to be. I bought my bag because of the great price but I will have to think about any future purchases.

I really like the style of the on the go crossbody and its great organization features. But, I am short and wish the straps were able to be adjusted a little bit shorter. I would like to see this same style only a little smaller. Maybe 1 1/2 shorter and about 1 1/2 or 2 less on the length. I wasn't quite sure on the pattern, but once I received it, I really like it, expecially for the fall/winter months.

Love this bag. I purchased the red quilted bag. The color on the computer does not do justice as to how gorgeous the color really is. It is more of a cherry red instead of an orange red as shown. The straps are a little stiff, but that doesn't bother me.It seems to stay on my shoulder better. It does feel like it is a little more narrower than the regular On The Go Crossbody bags but upon checking the measurements, they are the same. This is my fourth bag of this style. I wish it came in the Scottie Dog print or even a Christmas print. I would love this in the quilted brown also but I have already done enough damage to my credit card this holiday season!

I have another one different pattern, I love that the inside is lined entirely with the same cotton material as outside~ so i was hoping this one will be made the same but is not.. the interior is a slippery nylon-y solid pink with just the cotton pattern used very sparsely. hopefully they are not all that way.

I love this purse. I use it all the time. Please don't stop making it. I like all the different colors and the wallets are wonderful also. Glad I am a girl!!!

I've carried On The Go bags for many years, perfect style for every day for me! BUT this new satiny lining looks cheap, feels cheap and I dislike it a whole lot. Got the Java Floral, very nice pattern/colors for winter months. Please never stop making this style {which I have talked multiple family members into as well} but PLEASE go back to the cotton lining or I may have to carry something else! No plans to buy another with satin lining. Also please show the insides of all bags in your descriptions. Also make another kisslock clutch or kiss n snap style wallet LOL that would be great. {Still like the quality of the older patterns better.} But you still have my heart Vera....

I really like the size of this bag, and Lilac Tapestry is MY pattern! I have to keep it forever since like so many other reviewers I'm not at all happy with the new lining. I use snack size ziploc baggies for my money envelopes and they slip down to the bottom of the bag with this lining. PLEASE bring back the great quilted linings! I'm happy with the size and location and number of pockets, just not the lining. (Also I wish that every bag came with a tab for attaching keys.)

I own an ON THE GO Cross Body bag by Vera Bradley. I really like it for the organization, style and pattern. THEREFORE, I ordered another On the Go Cross Body bag. I chose the Northern Lights Pattern because I had seen it in stores and really liked the colors as well as the pattern. The On the Go bag was not available in the store where I shopped, I ordered it on line. At first I noticed the larger on the front zipper pocket and thought that was good - until I realized the detailed contrasting design used to complete the look was absent...indeed the longer zipper pocket prohibits it. I really think the contrast on the front, but to the sides of the front, that was originally present. I feel that it dresses-up the bag and sets it apart stylishly. This change is not something that I can detect when studying the pictures on line. I have looked for a bag that continues to have the contrast. I can not tell which do or if any do. I debated and debated about keeping the bag because the organization it offers is still great, but I want a more dressy bag and will therefore be returning it.

This is a great handbag because it has a place for everything you can carry. I put keys in one side pocket and my sunglasses in the other one. Even when full, it's still comfortable to carry. I would recommend this to anyone because it's roomy and stylish. I have over 50 Vera Bradley handbags and totes, and this style is one I really like. I have it in three different prints.

I really like this bag but it's a little smaller than I would like to carry. I would prefer removal rings on both sides so I could adjust it better to my preferred length. The zippers are always very good on Vera styles and I depend on them to keep my things secure. The side pockets are too small for a cell phone but good for single keys.

I am absolutely in love with my On the Go in Lilac Tapestry! It holds everything I wanted it to and it doesn't feel too heavy. It actually feels lighter than another purse I was using with the same stuff in it. I did have one issue that I'm annoyed about. The leather logo that is sewn on the front of my bad is coming off due the thread not being on there that well. I'm annoyed because I've had it less than a month. Other than that issue that really doesn't affect the overall quality and function of the purse and I am in love! I will be attempting to buy more of this pattern, if my wallet will let me! ;)

I got this bag in the Impressionista design and I love it! I must say, however, that my favorite Vera bag is the Little Mandy which is sadly discontinued. I am petite and do not care for oversized bags, so the Little Mandy was perfect for me. That said, the On The Go is not too large and is roomier than I am used too. There are two outside pockets, three inside and two zippered pockets. I took it as a carry on an airplane flight and I had plenty of room for all the tickets, wallets, and even snacks for the trip. The Impressionista is colorful with my favorite shades of pink and blue. I got several compliments along the way on this stylish bag!

Love the outside color----RED!. Do not love the inside pattern. Overall, great purse....nicely made and sturdy. Would definitely purchase again.

I honestly thought this bag was a little bigger based on the pictures online but I love it anyway. It's my every day purse right now. I have the strap short and use it as a shoulder bag but I love that I can lengthen it to a cross body when needed.

This is a cute purse. Just was too big for my taste so I actually returned it and got a smaller purse instead. The purse was larger in person that what I realized on the pictures.

I typically carry large purses but wanted something smaller to carry on the weekends or to casual events. This is a good size and can hold quite a bit of stuff.
