Vera BradleyVerabradley Womens Recycled Lighten Up Reactive Hipster Crossbody Purse

I wanted a light weight purse for day to day since most are heavy and cause me shoulder and neck discomfort. This one is made from recycled bottles and said it was light weight compared to the weights of other bags I own so I gave it a shot knowing Vera makes pretty good quality bags.I bought black and it still looks good months later, even after going through the washing machine. It has a zipper pocket across the back that is deep, which is good for keys, sanitizer, pens. There is a 1 zipper pocket inside that I put receipts and junk in. There are 2 mesh pockets. I put my sunglass case in one and a tin of mints in the other.This bag is big enough for a full size wallet, makeup bag, bottle water, phone, other junk and it is deep enough that I can toss a rolled up cardigan or thin hoodie in, which is perfect for traveling. It is fairly unstructured in the body, so it can look slightly slouchy, but that is what helps it be lightweight, which is why I personally purchased this particular bag.The strap is adjustable and can be worn as a crossbody bag (how I typically wear it) and a should bag. It zips across the top all of the way, so it feels secure while traveling.I am happy with this purchase.

Super durable with lots of awesome compartments. Sleek design. Beautiful color. I think the material is made out of recycled bottles. I love it.

Bought this purse to carry around as we were on vacation. We walked 8-10 miles each day. It has many pockets and I was able to carry all the essentials and keep it lightweight. Its also a gorgeous purse: color and design is just like the picture. I want to buy more in other colors. I could wear it crossbody or just on my shoulder.

This purse is a good medium size light weighted purse, I like the hidden pocket on the side (could use it for CCW) but wished it was on the right side of the purse instead of the left (since I’m right handed) but I could always flip the purse around when I’m carrying; I like the key fob ring to hold my car keys hook, love that this purse is water resistant, it has 2 good size slip mesh pockets and wall pocket on the inside, a large slip pocket on the back outside wall and the nice size side hidden pocket on the outside. I bought the Faded Jeans color, it’s a nice neutral color it will go with anything casual. Love that it’s made from recycled water bottles! I’m happy with my purchase and love VB purses! Ty:)

This is a beautiful bag. I love the designs in Vera Bradley items. The material is very good quality and is holding up well so far with everyday use. I like the mesh pockets, one for my phone and one for my sunglasses so they're always easy to find. The other compartments are helpful to keep small items from getting lost in the bottom. My only complaint is the strap. I've tried using it both hanging off one shoulder and as a crossbody bag. Both ways are uncomfortable and ultimately painful and I've ended up just carrying the purse by the strap in one hand to give my shoulders a break. It needs some padding or to be made of a softer/better material.

I LOVE this bag. It hits me in the right spot when I wear it as a crossbody bag. It is very large and can fit a ton of stuff. I could keep my phone, makeup, iPad mini, etc all in there. The best part was that I turned the hose on and didn't realize my bag was getting soaked... Except it really didn't. I thought things would be ruined inside and nothing was wet! Sometimes the VB bags can be really loud, but I love the subtle look of the inside and outside. It took me two days to figure out what to use the side pocket for, but it's a great place to put an average size wallet in there. I felt like I had an A-ha moment. Lol. This bag will last for a long time and I'm really happy to have it and be able to use it daily.

Would order again. Very light yet roomy. I wish the zippers weren't so clunky looking but they seem durable.

The bag is bigger than expected or originally desired, but I like it. There's lots of pockets. It's durable and crossbody. I like the colors, but it's not super attractive. It's lightweight and practical and fits my personality.

I got the purple one and it's honestly probably the prettiest bag I've ever seen, very impressed!

** UPDATE as of April 2024 - Loving this purse! Best purse ever! Ordered the same for a friend who thought it was great. I've ignored even my lovely leathers in favor of this one that fits a lot, stays slim, and still looks perfect. Goes great with everything. Well worth the price!Searched through so many to find my perfect upcycled grey crossbody. Fabric seems strong, stitching is perfect, no visible flaws, and the strap fully extends to 56". Roomy with 3 inside pockets. So far I'm really liking this purse. Would be loving it if the strap was a bit wider than 1", but still, very nice!!

I like this purse. It fits all of my things. It’s colour is navy blue with a bright floral pattern but it’s lovely

Got my second Vera Bradley purse today. They are light weight with storage plus, zippered pockets and netted pockets for quick grab glasses or cell phone. The fact they are made of recycled material is a bonus. Hate digging through a black lined purse to find something also dark coloured. So the bright pattern lining is what sold me

The media could not be loaded.  So sad I loved this purse but after a month of having it the strap is coming out of the fabric and I don’t carry anything heavy in it. So sad I thought the quality would be better as my previous Vera bag is at least 5 years old and is still in the same condition it came in. I’m passed my return window so I guess I’m out the money on this beautiful bag.
