Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton On the Go Crossbody Purse

I have had several versions of this purse in different colors over the years, and I love the actual purse! Print I received in the mail did not have any of the circular flowers that you see in the picture. It made the print look different when most of the ones online showed the circular flowers. Mine just has tiny flowers all over it.

Bag is very nice however the strap buckle becomes loose and moves continuously. My suggestion is a different buckle and also a gripper type fabric on back side of strap so that it would stay on your shoulder better. I'm in the process of repairing my strap.

The print is beautiful. The delivery was awful. No communication about when it was coming or would be delivered. It sat somewhere for days. Then all of a sudden it showed up. This bag is bigger than previous cross body bags. Plus, instead of 3 inside pockets, there are two. Neither of these are a good thing. I wish they still sold them at the outlets.

Disappointed. Smaller than expected. Side pockets are inadequate. Love the fabric but can't use it as I'd like.

I liked the larger version better and was sad when you stopped making them. I use a wheelchair so I need the crossbody so I can be hands free and not dropping my bag. Bring back the larger one I know a lot of people miss it.

Larger than I expected for a crossbody purse

I hate the strap on this bag! They slide and it doesn't stay as adjusted. The quality of these new bags are jyst not whay I'm used row.

The bag is not as big as I would like but nicely made. I ordered direct from the company and it traveled all over USA before I ever got it. Took about 9 days. Will never order direct again.

Not as roomy as they use to be. I like my purses from 20 yrs. ago much better than these. They were softer . Not like they use to be.

I have the same bag in black that I bought 2-3 years ago. While I'm very satisfied with my black bag,I opted to buy the same bag in a floral print for Spring/Summer. What a change. The floral. bag, #1, doesn't have the open pouch on the bag. In total, the bag is made cheaply in my opinion. I keep my phone in one of the two slide pockets. Well with the floral, the pockets have stretched in two weeks to a point that I am hesitant to store my phone for fear will fall out. What have you done, Vera Bradley?

Love this pattern and the Vera tote was sold out. Decided to try this style. The strap constantly adjusts itself by letting out slack, when I need the strap to be shorter. It also gets all twisted. It's annoying. I truly wanted to love this one, but it's going back today:(

I have been buying "On the go bag" for years. However, this new one is not to my liking. The front zipper was 11 inches, now this one is 8 inches. You can hardly get your hand in it. Why did you do it. You made the side pockets wider and that was not necessary, to make the zipper shorter. I am very unhappy with this bag.

Cheaper made inside. This has been my favorite style bag for many years and I have many. All other bags l have have quilted material for the pouch like pockets inside which holds items better but also helps give support to bag. Hope you correct this problem.

I don't like the new larger On the Go, but thought I should give it a try. I love the Java Navy Camo that I ordered, but I was very diappointed in the quality of the newer design. There are two inside slip pockets, where before there were three, two medium with a smaller one in the middle, very functional for my phone, my mask and or /glasses cleaner, and my pen/pencil pouch. The new wider pockets are too wide and very flimsy. I put my phone in the pocket and it just sagged forward. The slip pockets are now useless. Previously the pockets had a banded edge and held things in place. So I have returned the purse because I realized that I wold be unhappy every day I used this purse. I have about 15 On the Gos in the original size and quality, which was very well constructed. Even returning the purse is a big frustration. Shipping, taxes, and return shipping have cost me about $22. And for my money, I have nothing but disappointment with Vera Bradley. What a shame that the name no longer means quality and excellence. I hope it will return to its former standards of quality. And I hope the original size of On the Go will be reinstated. Ther are plenty are large and small purses, but not many in a midsize.

i was disappointed. i have 4 other vera bradley bags and love them. the pockets inside used to be made in the quilted fabric. this one is cotton fabric and is not as sturdy. things fall forward and not held in place as well.

The quality isn't as good as they used to be. They used to be quilted on the inside.

Like the pattern. Not the same outstanding well made quality from my other Vera bradley bags. We'll see how this one holds up.

It needs longer handles and the bag isn't needs to be a little bigger. I am an amputee and those th I be will help carry it. I have a purse that I got several years from you that I love but as happens it is coming apart. It has pockets on the outside. They come in handy to things into. Thank you for making such good items.

Bigger than I thought. Longer. Also eyeglass pouches on the sides are little small for eyeglasses/sunglasses to go in and out easiky

I loved the price and the print of the purse. However, It was much bigger than I thought it would be. The length of the purse was way too long for me. If it just did not have the two side pockets on the ends, I think it would have worked for me. Had to send it back

I have to say for me it's perfect. Right size and weight. It was on sale so I could afford it. Thank you vera Bradley

I have been purchasing On the Go Crossbody Bags for years. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed in my most recent purchase. There are only two pockets inside instead of three. In the old style, the middle pocket was the perfect size for a cell phone and held it securely. Now, my cell phone often falls out of the pocket and I have to hunt for it. There is no cardboard insert to make the bottom rigid, and the buckle on the shoulder strap is not as sturdy as the old style. Again, I was very disappointed and doubt that will make another purchase. The price has gone up, but the quality has gone down......a sad, but common story these days.

I bought this for travel. Just took it on a two week trip. I live the side pockets which are perfect for bottles of water or a small umbrella. However, it was too small for me. I had trouble getting everything I needed in. I used the small matching wallet. And I needed an outside open pocket for brochures and maps. So please make a similar bag, but larger with an open storage area on the other side from the zipped one.

Its a purse

The inside pockets are too loose
