Vera Bradley Women's Performance Twill Triple Zip Hipster Crossbody Purse - Stylish & Functional Bag for Work, Travel & Everyday Use

I bought this purse in plain black for a six-week trip to SE Asia and it was perfect. Not too big and not too small to carry my essentials, a small water bottle, my iPad occasionally or a scarf for covering up when entering temples or even a small sweater or a few purchases. (But not all of that at once.)It’s lightweight when empty, and the strap is wide enough that even if you load it up and it gets heavy, it’s still comfortable. I’m tall, and the strap is nice and long enough (although it also adjusts to shorter lengths). I got caught in a huge downpour one day, and I was impressed with the water resistance. Things got a little damp, but not too bad. The cell phone slot is my favorite feature. So easy to whip out the phone when those unexpected photo ops come up, and then it tucks away just as quickly. The purse didn’t pill excessively, didn’t show any dirt or wear, and looked good with everything I wore.I probably won’t carry this purse when I’m home, but I travel overseas often and I am confident that it will come with me on many, many trips in the future.
