Vera Bradley Lighten Up Travel Ready Crossbody Purse - Stylish & Compact Shoulder Bag for Women | Perfect for Travel, Shopping & Everyday Use

My new favorite! Been carrying around the Triple Zip Crossbody, but this is now my everyday "go to" bag. It's about the same size as the Triple Zip, but with a few more useful pockets, like the larger back pocket, the 2 additional inside slip pockets in the main compartment (instead of the just the zippered pocket). The vertical zip pocket doesn't make a whole lot of sense (especially as a travel bag), but I still find it useful. A tad wider shoulder strap would have made it more comfortable, though not a huge issue since my bag, though full, is not especially heavy. As an everyday bag, it's wonderful. I would not use it traveling, as I would travel with a bag with more anti-theft properties (i.e. RFID, slash proof bags sold by Pacsafe and Travelon). I would hesitate to throw this in the washer, as I would a quilted bag. This canvas bag might lose its pressed and taut look after a wash. I wlll probably make a repeat purchase should another fabulous print come out.This is a very lightweight bag. It's larger than what I thought it would be, but, it's a great size. I'm petite, just 4'10" and I need to make sure that my purse isn't overwhelming to my height. This is proportional for me, not too large at all. I have room for everything, wallet, keys, gum, pencils, Bluetooth headphones, iPhone X, nail file, pill box, snacks. Not super stuffed and I LOVE the pattern, Ditsy Dots, so cute! I didn't have a place to clip my hand sanitizer, so I used the strap connector. I do like the outside horizontal pocket, very handy for my iPhone. I love having a place for everything. I do use a thin RFID wallet, so this purse is rated with that in mind. A normal sized wallet, or even a checkbook sized wallet wouldn't fit very comfortably with all the other stuff that I carry. I can easily put my Kindle in this when necessary, plenty of room.Oh my what's not to say about this! I absolutely love this bag!! It has so many useful pockets I love the side pocket with the zipper. I can put my work badge in there and I always know where it's at. The main compartment has two huge pockets. I have the IPHONE 7 plus and it fits perfectly. The other pocket I use for the car keys. Then there is another compartment on the back side with a magnetic close. I have many Vera Bradley bags but this one by far is my favorite. The only thing I could say that I would want is a little bit of a longer strap but that is me being nit-picky. I have had many compliments on my bag and I know that I will be purchasing more in this style in the future. This will be my summer bag I look forward to getting a new one for the fall.. if anyone wants to see this with pictures just ask I will be more than happy to supply them.I’m very happy with my new smaller travel purse. Lots of pockets and pouches, zips up nicely. I like to fabric strap-soft and comfy. The print is a little wild but will make it easy to find. Glad I ordered this.I had purchased a wallet ten years ago and is still as new as it was when I purchased it. Because of this, I decided to buy a purse and wallet from this brand as I know the quality and resistance already. I absolutely love that it is a solid color, rather than her signature patterns, but love the most that her beautiful pattern is on the inside. Has a ton of space plus many pockets to add your cellphone and other things. Absolutely a treasure of a purse, casual as well as quite a fashion statement.First the good: This is a great bag for travel. It’s water resistant and has many convenient sections. It's lightweight and attractive. I really like it.Now the bad: After only four months the strap is fraying. It seems to be getting worse every day. Without some repair, it will become unusable. I don't think that this should occur after only four months of normal use.I contacted Vera Bradley and they told me to contact the seller. I purchased this on Amazon as I had a birthday gift certificate to use towards the purchase. It's a genuine Vera Bradley, it was sold directly by Amazon, not a third party.I don't believe that this is something that Amazon should be responsible for. Shouldn't the manufacturer of the product be responsible for the quality of their products?At any rate, I still love Vera Bradley bags and I will continue to buy them. I'm just disappointed that the quality is not what it should be.This is a super cute bag and great quality as Vera always is. I love all the pockets because I'm an organizing junkie however you can't really fill this bag up because then it becomes difficult to get items out, also it doesn't sit right when full and it looks like it's bloated. I do love the material because I'm not a fan of the quilted that Vera bags usually come in, I like something more durable since I take public transit and this held up well when I got stuck in the rain a few times, it kept all my items dry inside. I do recommend this bag only if you are very minimal at what you carry around with you but it just didn't work right for me.This purse is just perfect! From the size (not too big but still plenty of room for all I have to carry) to the actual fabric (polyester-so it will wipe clean and wear a lot longer than the signature cotton). The design is well thought out also. I was concerned it might be too big since I’m a small person but it is essentially the same size as the traditional hipsters I’ve been carrying for the past 8 yearsPreciosa, funcional, espaciosa, linda, perfecta, útil, ligera, colorida y durable. Simplemente Genial!! Recomendable sin dudarlo. Cómprala! No te vas a arrepentir.Fue un regalo d viaje para mi mamá, y qued o encantada,guarda su celular,documentos y pila sin problemasLove the pattern size and fabric. Has many compartments and quality material.Not like it’s brand
