Customer Reviews Vera Bradley Cotton Utility Bucket Crossbody Purse

Nice and roomy without being too big

I like this bag very much but wish it were just a bit bigger. It has lots of spaces for my things but the overall size does not accommodate my Vera Bradley wallet very well along with my glasses, etc. I will use it but have to plan on carrying fewer items than usual.

I like the style of this bag but one thing I hate about it is the fabric collects lint like crazy! I have had a similar bag in navy and also a pink solid color and neither draws the lint like this one. I don't know if something is different about the fabric or just because it's black, but I have to use a lint brush on it before I head out the door!

Great size and I like being able to keep my sunglasses and phone on the outside of the purse. I would just add a zippered area on the back of the purse so that keys would be easily accessible from the outside too. Then I could rate it 5 stars.

It's okay. Disappointed in cross body handle. The bag itself could be a little bigger not taller but bigger.

I enjoy the feel of the bag and the zippers. It is a bit big for my small frame (I am 4'6") and I believe I would have done better with the smaller utility bag, but they didn't have a transitional color in the style.

Really like the crossbody, vinyl strap and the multiple zipped compartments. The only thing I can say I'd change would be the thickness of the bag. It has too much padding.

Has lots of space. Great for travel as an IPAD fits nicely with plenty of space wallet, phone and other essentials.

Nice bag, but quite large. I wasn't expecting to see such a large purse. I really wanted something much smaller, but because it was well made I decided to keep it and use it anyway. The quality of the bag was impeccable!

Strap need to be cloth and longer

Love the size and all the pockets. Took away a star because it easily picks up lint

Great purse! Holds all my junk...I was very pleased about it. Has great number of pockets.

wasn't quite what I thought it would be. But very nice

I would like the strap to be wider or of a different material, it cuts into my neck. My previous shoulder bag did not do this. The depth could also be wider. I love the zipper pouches and the special pocket for my phone is perfect. In the body of the bag there are plenty of pockets and the zipper pocket is great. Just wish it were deeper.

I love the color and feel of the fabric and the pop of color on the inside is awfully fun, but the bag looks like a mail bag or a male bag in person.

I love The purse. My only problem is that it picks up lint way too much.

Its pretty close to perfect for what I wanted. Great size for travel and a small work bag. Wish it had: More stability across the top zipper... its fine when ins set down but the top doesn't stay straight across when hanging. Harder to open/close/load when you have to straighten the zipper. A two-way zipper on the large outer pocket A low-profile collapsible and snap/zip shut end pocket for a small water bottle. I'd still buy it again... Maybe sometime they'll make my perfect bag.

it is ok but not exactly what I was looking for , But it will work

The size is perfect except for the outside pocket with the snap. I have one of the larger iPhones and so it won't snap. (1/4" too small). I ended up sewing velcro on it. Pattern is lovely.

Beautiful pattern, roomy with a number of extra pockets, easy to extend or shorten straps

Smaller than expected

I like my new Bucket Bag but it does have two things that I don't like. 1. The outside snap pocket (that I use for my cell phone) does not close securely. I'm always afraid it will open and my phone will fall out. 2. This bag is a shoulder bag and a cross body. I like the cross body so I made the strap as long as I could but when carrying it, the strap twists and I have to untwist it several times during the day.

I like it except I didn't pay close enough attention I don't like the strap thought it would be the same as the purse.

Perfect size bag and I get so many compliments on the fun orange color!!! Some reviewers said the strap is too short for a crossbody. I found it works fine for me (I'm 5'6") but I had my daughter put it on (she's 5'10") and it did hit her at a weird length. So, 5'6" and under, you're in good shape!!!!

I really like this bag. The only change I would make is a little longer extension on the handle.
