Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton On the Go Crossbody Purse

I usually sew my own purses, but wanted something with a zipper, an adjustable strap and a little more style, so I chose this bag as my first VB purchase. I love the outside pockets and the two zippered pockets. I keep my (tiny) phone in one of the outside pockets and a small bottle of hand sanitizer in the other pocket. My keys, iPod and headphones fit in the outside zipper compartment with room to spare. There are three quilted slip pockets in the inside and one zippered pocket on the opposite side. Each pocket is slightly wider than a pack of travel tissues. In the main compartment I can fit my 4.5 wallet, 5.5 pouch for nail clippers, etc., bottle of Tylenol and my 7 camera case. There is still room for my 8.5 journal and a few other small items or pouches. The top of the bag does dip a bit in the middle when it is full. I purchased it for the cross-body option, but find that I usually just use it as a shoulder bag. This bag looks great in Baroque and I'm enjoying it more and more as I use it.

I just starting using my new style on the go handbag. I like the inside zip pocket and that the middle inside slip pocket is a little wider. BUT the zipper pocket on the outside has been shortened because of the side seams on the end of the bag. I was able to carry my pocket calendar but now it barely fits and is a struggle to remove. (Yes, I still carry a handwritten pocket calendar!) :-) The side pockets also seem shorter. I put my reading glasses in one of them and the glasses don't completely fit in there and I'm concerned they'll fall out. I'd put my keys in the other pocket and now the keys don't fit there. I much preferred the older style.

On the Go has always been my favorite Vera Bradley style and I have quite a few. I just bought the updated version in Indigo Pop and must say that except for the extra zip pocket I do prefer the original On the Go. I do not care for the extra length of the strap or the silver buckles. I think the accent stripe looked better in the center of the front rather than the sides. It is still a great everyday bag and I love the Indigo Pop color but wish the old style was still available.

Great size but I wish it had 3 pocket on the inside like it used to.

Bag is beautiful but a bit larger than I like. Wish you would bring back the Saddle Crossbody!

Too small! I have purchased crossbody bags before that were a little bit bigger I had to return this way too small for me

Love the pattern. Bag is just a bit too small for my usual needs. But like all Vera's, it's beautifully made.

I had a previous bag that was similar in style but larger. That extra space makes a difference. It also had an outside pocket with a magnetic closure. Great for keys and phone.

Actual color is much darker than seen online. I'm not happy with it so I'm returning it.

I love the style it's just about perfect. I wanted this in fresh cut floral, which was out of stock so I ordered it in sunlit garden sage. I thought it was a lighter shade like it looked online. so disappointed. Love the lining. Will have to return along with small backpack, which is really a purse. Wanted a pack smaller than campus size with plenty of pockets. But this is too small. I wish the color were truly "sunlit" this is so dreary

I didn't love it. It reminds of a bedspread. trying to figure out how to return. it. I do LOVE the style though - the pockets, the construction. I have another one just like it that is totally worn out. That's why I wanted a new one, same style

Liked a previous purse so much bought another one but seems stiffer.

i like the color and i hope that this style does nto discontinue. However I think the quality has gone down hill by trying to make it with cheaper craftmanship. The buckles dot even say Vera anyomore or the zipper pulls are just cheap material and had nice pieces of leather before. It was that trademark that advertised it to be Vera. You are getting like everyone else and starting to put out a low value product but the prices still keep going up.

The material is not as soft as previous purchases. Shoulder strap is very stiff. Love the colorful print.

I really like the print. I'm not so happy with the shape of the bag. I thought I'd like the extra depth but I find it feels bulky.

Not the same quality as I have purchsed in the past. The side pockets are puckered. Interior lining not the quilting as before. This might be the last time I purchase a bag.

The photo with the lady holding the bag makes it look larger that it really is which for me was very disappointing. It's a nice bag but I wish it was larger

I own many Vera Bradley bags. I was disappointed that it was smaller than I thought. Also I wanted two zippered pockets in the front along with the zippered pocket on the back like the bag I was replacing due to the fabric wearing out. There was just the one zippered pocket.

Nice purse but not a fan of the stiff straps and the whole purse just seems a little stiffer, I don't know if its the interfacing or the closer stitching on the quilting but for me just not as nice as the purses I've purchased in the past.

I live this style and have purchased several times. However, this one I just received is not the same quality as the other two. There is cheaper hardware and zippers, no Vera Bradley logo on any part of the inside or outside. It's also shorter than expected. I'm disappointed. It did come early which was nice, but the cheaper look and make has me thinking. Us this a genuine Vera Bradley?

Its actually way bigger than I wanted. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions

Yes, a pretty pattern, but disappointed in the shortcuts that started several years back. The flimsy interior pockets that can hold nothing but a piece of paper, and the lack of structure without the cardboard bottom. And a lighter fabric for the interior would make it easier to see what you are looking for.

It's ok. A nice size, but thick. And it needs more pockets on the inside. The fabric is nice and colorful and I love Pansies.

The bag is larger than I thought and the strap is made with bulky material which is always coming up from the buckle, so I am constantly adjusting it. The bulky strap material doesn't stay turned the correct way throughout the strap, so I have to turn it around under the buckle. I find the bag bulky and not my favorite. It does have pockets for my sunglasses and glasses on the outside, but I am always checking to make sure they didn't fall out.
