Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton On the Go Crossbody Purse

I wish there were more hummingbird on the Pattern only two-

When compared to On the Go purses that I have purchased in the past, this does not measure up. Nicer details in construction are missing, the zipper is now larger and does not work as smoothly, the bottom is much less substantial and came folded in half longways, and the inside pockets are no longer quilted. Sorry, but this is the first time I have been disappointed in a Vera Bradley product.

I really love everything about it.

Loved the Felicity Paisley pattern, but was disappointed that the interior of the bag has changed. The bottom no longer has the insert for support and the inside only has two pockets. Liked it much better with 3 pockets and the insert on the bottom, which gave bag support. Won't order another unless the design is changed back.

1. I thought background black but is purple. 2. Not made same as my same purse bought 6 months ago. Material not as nice . Feels rough stiff. The zipper holders on other are leather loops . On this purse they are a tied to zipper ribbon. How long those gonna last using everyday. On other hand size and compartments I love.

Bought this purse in spring. Love it so ordered one for fall/winter. Material on new purse not as nice. Feels rough. Also old purse zipper pullers were all a looped leather. New purse are just a tied ribbon.

I think it's too large for me.

I love the on the go crossbody. Are you discontinuing this bag? If you are why?

I love the On The Go bag. Have purchased several for myself and as gifts. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find a metal zipper across the front of this bag. All my prior bags had a matching plastic zipper across the front. The silver zipper cheapens the look of the bag. In addition, it constantly sticks when trying to open or close the zipper. If this is your new look, I will not purchase again.

The color is not as vivid as advertised online and is a bit disappointing. Overall, the size is about right, the pockets are convenient, and the length of the strap is good. If the color were more like a sky blue, it would be perfect and earn five stars.

I like this bag. It is bigger but I'm not infatuated with the design. The zippers didn't not open smoothly.

I called customer service to ask if the two side pockets could hold a water bottle. I was told yes. When I received the bag I saw that the two outside pockets were so tiny, nothing would fit into them. Well, maybe a tooth brush. Not sure why Ver Bradley added those. Very disappointed. I am a person who needs to carry a water bottle.

It's been a while since I purchased an On the Go Crossbody and I have to say I prefer the older style. This bag is bigger and doesn't have the solid piece in the bottom so it doesn't hold its shape. Hopefully it will grow on me because I really loved the previous version, it was my all time favorite.

I've been using this bag for several months now and I must say it is my least favorite Vera Bradly bag I've ever owned. I've been using VB bags for over 20 years and they've always been great. I'm not sure why but they seem to have changed the buckle they use on the straps. I've always liked the crossbody bags because I can easily shorten the strap when I don't want it to be a crossbody. I cannot keep the strap shortened on this bag. It just slips right back to the crossbody length. Very disappointing.

On the Go crossbody is hands down my favorite VB bag, displacing the long-running Hipster in my collection This is the third version - I've owned six of the V2 bags, and one of the original version with flaps on the side pockets. I like the slightly larger size, especially the wider opening as occasionally I had a hard time with long items. And the larger side pockets still work to hold my sunglasses and reading glasses, but now in a case. I don't mind the reconfiguration - I've always got plenty to fill them. The three deal breakers are changes that just don't make sense to me and lessen the functionality of the bag. - cheap metal zipper on the outside pocket. It jams constantly because it's low quality and makes the outside pocket useless. The main zipper is still the high quality nylon zipper. Why have 2 non matching zippers? I'd rather they have made it a magnetic closure than this nasty jamming zipper. - metal strap slide is wider than the strap so it doesn't lock into place, removing the adjustability feature as soon as you load it with your items. Im average height and the bag that now dangles past my tush when it slides all the way. - no reinforcement of the bottom. I have 3 V2 of this bag - one with the thick cardboard bottom, one with a thin plastic, and a microfiber version with no stiffener. This V3 needs one the most because it's slightly larger, so holds more items. No reinforcement means the bag sags very badly, which pulls on the strap more, causing it to lose its position and hang way too low. Really love the Midnight Garden pattern, but not enough to make up for the negative changes so it's going back.

The clasp is too loose so the length of strap adjusts too easily. I don't like how you changed the inside pockets the material is to flimsy

Love this style - just wish the removable cardboard 'bottom' insert, the three inside pockets (instead of two) and the color coordinated exterior nylon zipper (that's been replaced by a metal zipper) were still part of this design.

I like this bag. Prefer the soft material inside and out the Vera Bradley purses used to have. It is a nice size. What I do not like is the pleat in the end slip pockets. It makes them look bigger (stick out more) but actually is harder to put stuff in because of the pleat. I do not trust putting my phone in one of those pockets. I would also like it to be about 1/2 in. deeper. Going to try ordering a Iconic LARGE On the Go and hope that it takes care of these two problems.. Wish I was closer to a store.

Since I have several of these purses I did not look closely at the picture. There have been several changes in the style. The worse one is the zippers. Instead of being color coordinated with the pattern of the purse,the top zipper and and the zipper on the interior pocket are color coordinated. The zipper on the outside pocket is not and is a regular metal zipper.(I notice a lot of their products now have these. I assume it is to save money.) Why not put the metal zipper on the inside pocket and color coordinate the outside pocket one? The metal one make the purse look cheap in my opinion. Also, there are only 2 interior side pockets instead of 3. The solid insert in the bottom of the purse is now split in half length wises. I will not buy another one these unless they change the color of the zippers.

like the design

The outside side pockets are a little too big- my phone is not secure . Missing the 3 slip pockets inside- 2 aren't enough to organize my little things REALLY miss the hard bottom insert- not sure I'll purchase this one again. I did really like the outside print and the interior lining is ok- it crinkles I'd recommend this bag with reservations

I love the size and have four others of these for each season. Unfortunately, you decided to take the two pockets off one of the sides and I am terribly disappointed. Won't buy this again without those pockets.

The bag makes loud crinkly noises like plastic. No other Vera Bradley (I have dozens) makes this kind of noise. Very unhappy with the bag. A Vera bag should be soft and cuddly not noisy.

Have several Vera Bradley purses from the old style. Was disappointed in the quality changes withlining and straps.

I recieved this bag as a gift and I really loved it but I dont likee the color. I wish I could change it because I wont use it.
