Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Utility Bucket Crossbody Purse

A fun neutral, the ivy green colour is seasonless, the fabric has a tasteful, feminine sheen to it while the strap and hardware remind me of a military styled bag. I love the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine style! The bag is roomy, carrying everything I wanted with lots of room to spare - crossbody slings can be unforgiving when overstuffed but this one had a TON of room. I love the light, bright, feminine interior lining - easy to find items within the bag. the outside zip pocket was also super handy for easy access to just your phone - but secure because of the zipper. I liked the bag and would buy it in this colour combo but I really love the use of recycled cotton - better for the environment & I think it looks better than the regular VB cotton bags. This is going to sound like sacrilege to VB collectors, but Im really not a fan of the quilted cotton. Its stuffy and matronly - this recycled cotton line has crisp lines, no extra bulk or padding - it has everything you need without the grandmas quilt vibe that VB sometimes gets.

This bag has so many pockets! I easily fit all my items in my bag. The interior print is fun and I love the material the strap is made from. It also has a very convenient cellphone pocket on the outside! The color is bright and cheerful. Overall, I just love this new style!

the bag can be used as a shoulder bag or a cross body with its adjustable strap. Its has a lot of compartments to keep everything handy and organized when you are out shopping.

I was excited when I received this crossbody, the bag is soft with a very functional style. With a place for your cell phone and two zippered pockets with pockets onside their is a place for everything. On the inside of the main compartment their is a zippered part and open pockets this bag is great.

I love the size of the product. It is big enough to be carry all the things I need everday, but being a crossbody, it is easy to carry and relatively lightweight. It is comfortable, versitile and cute. I love that is it made from recycled fabric and it is made of a solid color. It still has the characterisitic Vera styling in the interior.

This crossbody utility bag has lots of space and has 2 sets of pockets that are great to carry small items in. I love the colors, they look so good behind the flora leaves on bag

I really like this bag. It is a little big for my everyday use, but is excellent for me to go sightseeing with. A prepackaged plastic water bottle fits in the inside side pocket of the main compartment. My essentials fit in the larger outside pocket. I do like the special cellphone pocket on the back side. The recycled cotton is soft, but I wish it was quilted like Vera Bradley is known for.

Car keys, house keys, transportation cards, work IDs and cellphones are things that we all need to find quickly when we are on the run. This bag supports just those needs. It has six pockets like many Vera bags. However, most of them are designed a bit differently. This bag has two large zipper compartments and a slit pocket on the outside, two slip pockets and a zip pocket on the inside. You can find a place for everything and remember where you put it. The main compartment is quite large without appearing so. Finally, the recycled cotton print was very attractive and felt no different from new cotton.

I am pretty dead set on buying the same thing when I find a product I love. I am a huge fan of the Vera tote for going back and forth to work, or love the triple zip hipster for shopping or taking on my daily walks. I really loved the utility crossbody, size wise it is in the middle of the tote and hipster that I use daily. I loved the fact that I could fit my iPad and a book in the crossbody, all while still not carrying a full size bag. I also love the solid color on the outside and the interior pattern was fun!

nice bag that can be used as a carry-on, work bag, school bag, beach bag. Will fit a laptop. Very padded but not bulky. One large and two smaller zip compartments for easy organization.

The Recycled Cotton looks like brand new, great color and nice style. Love this purse with the pockets and material. Was worried about fabric but looks great

I love how simple and cute this bag is. It has a perfect spot for my phone. I love the larger strap, making it comfy to carry.

I really like it taking awhile to flatten out the bottom

Disappointed that bag is not machine washable like my many other Vera bags.

The bag arrived promptly and I was impressed by the number of pockets both zipped and unzipped. However, I decided to return it because I thought it was too big and I would be tempted to carry a lot more items than I needed, adding to the weight.

I love this pocketbook it's easy on your shoulder and deep enough to carry all of your items

I haven't used it yet but it's so nice and roomy -and organized which is why I'm a Vera fan!

I really love the adjustable strap! Pockets on the out are perfect size for phone or other small quick access item.

Love this bag. I give it a 4 just because I wish it was a little larger.

Love the colors and the organization of the pockets on the front of the bag. Just wish the strap was a little longer. But it will work out OK for me.

I'm somewhat a fan of this Crossbody. I like the recycled cotton line in general but I also like the shoulder strap as well as the two exterior pockets but... the exterior pocket that does not have a snap closure is typically the pocket I put my cell phone in as I like quick access to it. At least a few times already my cell has come tumbling out when I bent over to grab something (while wearing this bag as a crossbody). The other pocket with the snap closure I use for my car keys. I know I could swap the two but I would not want to loose my keys either. It's probably the only thing I don't love about this bag.

Love this bag! Plenty of room and compartments. Just wish it was quilted.

I love the style but the fabric is a dust and pet hair magnet.

Even though I read the review about the bag collecting lint I still ordered it. It is a great bag but maybe a fabric protective spray would prevent the lint problem. I have not tried that yet. My similar navy bag in a woven fabric is a 5 star. It always looks neat.

I didn't think it would look so puffy.
