Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton On the Go Crossbody Purse

Like the colors, but did think I was getting a different pattern. Very close to another pattern you have. Only wish the side pockets were just a bit larger, so I could fit a water bottle, or someone's sippy cup in it.

Very nice purse. Adjustable strap for tall person. Good quality item but was end pockets were a little larger to hold cell phone. Inner pockets good size.

Got this bag as a birthday gift & it fits everything I need for everyday with room for more if needed. While the outside pockets needed stretched to fit my key chain with keys it didn't take long for it to stretch to hold them secure & still get them in & out with ease. I'd recommend this bag as everyday or great for day travel where you need to carry more items.

Brightly colored, this is the perfect size. i love the pockets that keep me organized.

I have used the hipster, Little Hipster, Stephanie (discontinued), and Mom's Day Out (discontinued) for years. This is my first On the Go Crossbody. I do like the size, but I miss the large exterior pocket found on the Hipster and Mom's Day Out. I kept my pocket calendar there(a perfect fit) but this purse doesn't have that pocket. I was shopping for another Mom's Day Out in a different pattern, but found it was gone! (Stop doing that, please.). I do like the Heather pattern a lot.

I love this purse but hate the shoulder strap,it is so stiff,why can't it be soft like most of the other Vera Bradleys. All the Vera Bradley bags are top notch ,the quality is superior,just don't like the shoulder strap on this one. Sorry.

Nice bag. I got the navy with the monogram. It makes the purse. A little smaller than I thought it would be. Overall I really like

Great feature - inside zipper compartment. Like to be different: 1. Phone does not fit in side pocket. 2. Made in CHINA.

I like it, but was disappointed my cell phone would not fit into those open sections on the sides. My Samsung Galaxy 5 is too wide. I can put it into the outer zipper compartment, but it kinds defeated my purpose. I do like the size and other configuration of this purse.

It's the right size for a cross shoulder bag. Just enough little pockets for miscellaneous things.

This is my 4th On the Go purse. I love all the pockets and end spaces for storage, the roominess inside to stuff without looking like too large a bag for a smaller woman. This new version has added a zipper pocket inside (yea) but put inside pockets on the other side. I notice I am now carrying the purse with the outer zipper facing out. But still, I LOVE this purse!

I love this style has two of the side pockets, a zippered pocket in front and inside holds all my stuff. Easy to find all the things I put into the purse because it is is wide, but not so deep as other styles.

Color is Great, good for end of summer, beginning of fall. I only wish it was just a little bigger, taller. Very happy though. Also came in a very reasonable time.

I love the On-The-Go. I have had several over the past years. The size is perfect for me, I love the shape and the many pockets - especially the outside end pockets that are perfect for my cellphone and keys. I have always had it in a pattern, and when it came out in the solid microfiber, I was thrilled. However, the strap is horrible and needs to be changed! It is stiff, inflexible, very rigid and very hard and uncomfortable while sitting on my shoulder. The straps on the patterned ones are great - very soft, supple and comfortable. The strap takes away from the overall enjoyment of using this style and I would love to see this problem addressed.

This is a nice purse, not too big, not too small. You can carry your wristlet and medium make up bag without a problem, but not much else. The end pockets are a great place for your cell phone in one and keys in the other. However, I'd prefer to be able to carry a small bottle of water like I do in my larger Vera Bradley. If the pocket was just a tiny bit larger so I could carry a small bottle of water this would be a better bag for me. I miss the larger, zip top tote bags and the magnetic closing reversible bags. The newer bags aren't my favorites so I'll probably keep what I have and add one or two of this On the Go bag.

The handbag is great. It has plenty of room and organizer compartments. I don't think it works as a cross body handbag. When you use it as a cross body, the bottom of the bag is to bulky and the strap bunches up and doesn't make it comfortable over the shoulder. All in all, its a great looking and functional bag.

So many pockets, not too big but not too small. The only issue is the wear and tear on the strap. My first purse only lasted 16 months before it was too frayed to use.

They do not slip off your shoulders and are handy when you need to get in them. I bought Dogwood and it is pretty, but it will show soil quicker than colors like Midnight Blues and Jazzy Blooms. Be careful how much light color is in the pattern you choose.

I love Vera Bradley purses, but I don't love this purse. I gave it four stars though since the main reasons that I don't care for it are all personal preferences. For example, I have come to dislike purses that do not have a flat profile. With it's 4 1/2 depth, the purse sticks out from my hip more than I like. I really didn't realize that I wouldn't like it till I used the purse though. I would have also liked the adjustable strap to be longer. I am 53 and I prefer my purses to rest more on my hip. This purse is at my waist. The only thing that I don't like about this purse that is more than just personal preferences are that the side pockets are really too small to be overly useful. I could not fit my iPhone 5 in a thin hard body case in the side pockets. I could not fit my keys in there (or at least get them back out easily once they were in there). I really couldn't find any use for those two pockets. Most of my complaints are probably not deal breakers for others, but I just wasn't as happy with this purse.

I prefer this particular bag because of the pockets on each end. I put my cell phone in one end and my medical alert in the other end. Saves having to fish in the pocketbook for either one.

I like a purse that allows me the opportunity to carry it shorter or longer depending on the situation. This purse offers and adjustable strap and it is the perfect size for holding all of my personal items.

wonderful style pocketbook, great for travel documents, just the right size for me!

Love the style of the purse but just a bit too small for my everyday use.

I haven't actually used this purse yet but I love the colors and I like the 2 outside pocket features. Just hope things don't get lost in the abyss of the inside especially since it is not as structured as a leather bag.

I like to keep a neat purse and this has a wonderfully large opening so I can find my things easily. My purse organizer fits in it with ease and it's not too deep for me to just reach in and find whatever I'm looking for. I also like the outer side pockets for easy reach of my phone and glasses. Just an all around easy, comfortable purse to use. And not to heavy on my shoulders, since my fibromyalgia makes most purses uncomfortable for me to use.
