Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Multi-Compartment Shoulder Satchel Purse

Love the design of the bag but wish the width of the bottom was an inch wider. Love the pattern and the closures on this bag. Watched it for several weeks before purchasing and am very happy with it

Love, love, love the bag. Our definitely buy another but you don't have enough different fabrics. As soon as you have more of a selection, I will buy

very nice bag but thought it would have been a little bigger

When the description said shoulder bag, I was hoping for longer straps. I know they gave the length, but I didn't think about actually measuring to put it over my shoulder. If there were about 2 more to the straps, I would be happier. As it is, the straps don't stay up like they should and the outside one is constantly falling down. Otherwise, I do like all the compartments and the magnetic closures!

I've been a Vera Bradley fan for years. With this bag, I like that it has different sections but there is one thing that I'm not pleased with - it has no interior slots. Things that I would normally slide in to those now go in the different sections. That seems to make the bag pooch out more than I'd like. I'll always be a Vera Bradley fan but I love the interior pockets.

I absolutely love the design of this bag!! The separate compartments keep me organized. Unfortunately, I have dogs and the black material attracts their dog hair like a magnet. That's the reason for deducting 2 stars.

There was a flaw in the bag. One of the magnets was not in the proper place and it would not close properly.

Bigger than I expected. I have similar one but it's more compact but roomy. I used that one a lot but it's getting worn looking and I wanted a lighter color. I like the pattern just bigger than I wanted.

I normally buy the Glenna satchel but do not like the changes at all they made to it. So I thought I would try this purse. Not my favorite; not very roomy in my opinion.

i love pattern & color & size, but the magnet closures are cumbersome and open easily when bag is full. The inner zippered compartment isn't deep enough. The exterior slip pockets are not deep or wide enough for my cell phone. the whole bag looks bulky.

I've already returned this bag to the store. The bag seemed smaller than I expected and the fabric quality did not seem as good as in the past.

Too large. Like the separate compartments but the handbag itself is quite large. A smaller version would be ideal.

The outside stitching was no done.

While the pattern is beautiful, the bag s NOT a shoulder bag. Must be carried by hand or n the arm. Also very bulky compared to years ago when VB had great compartmn5s without all the bulk

Straps are too short to carry this bag on a shoulder. Disappointing.

The bag itself, is very nice. However, I expected the bandanna print to be centered on the outside of the bag, as pictured. It was not.

Beautiful bag too many compartments & the staps are not long enough like the bag called Glenda better

I bought this because of multi compartments which works great for me for medical visits. But I must say the packaging is almost embarrassing! It was so "squashed" plus zippers all undone. Just sloppy packaging! This was second package I received in very poor condition!

The bag is well made with multiple compartments but the color was much darker than it appeared online. I'm returning it.

Not roomy enough for me. Dislike

While I love the beautiful floral design, I was expecting a larger "central compartment with a zipper interior compartment. I find the central compartment to be inadequate. I would not buy it again.

I like the size of the bag. A place for everything. The recycled material aspect is a plus. The outside pockets great for phone on one side and stuff on the other. Like the inner most zip compartment with its zip pocket. The other 2 compartments, one on the each side of the center zipped one nice size. Now, why I only gave it 3 stars..... Huge amount of plusses(?) to this style. A lot. The 2 outer areas are secured magnetically. It's dumped twice on me. It's my fault for how I grabbed my purse out of the back seat of the car. For me a purse/bag needs to be multifunctional and secure. Secure being a key issue. Like many I am active and always on the go. The 2 magnetic sections are not too full. I absolutely love VB. Won't carry anything else. In fact until I was introduced to VB at my sister's in CT, I carried a small backpack as a purse...... Anyway. Going back to my Carson Mailbag or Trimmed Vera Tote. I'll regift this purse, it's really pretty in Rain Forest Canopy. Still love me my VB!!!

I received this as a gift and love the design and space. My problem is that the magnetic closures on each side come open too easily. I'm about to take a trip on an airplane to see the daughter that gifted it to me and am adding a strap over the top (pocket to pocket) to secure the purse, so it won't come open when I don't need it to. I also really wish they had a crossbody in this design with this much room.

I love the functionality of the magnetic clasp purse. But I abhor quilt design and tacky patterns. Got this ugly purse because it was the only style you had with magnetic pockets and plenty of them. Also, it needs a shoulder strap. So same style, no quilting, solid bright colors, longer straps for shoulder.
