I ordered this purse to use on a trip because my friends love them. It was delayed in the Prime delivery and literally arrived just as I was leaving. I put my things in it and later that day I was shocked to find a hole on an interior pocket. I emptied it back out and found a second hole. As this was the only purse I would have for 2 weeks, I have used it, but had to constantly check to make sure nothing had migrated through the holes and into the space between the lining and the purse. I really like how light it is and the fabric it is made of, but I won't order any others because their poor quality assurance doesn't make the purse worth the money. Once I buy some fray check I will make the necessary repairs, but for this price, I really shouldn't have to.

I absolutely love this bag. I needed a hip bag that can fit all my needs. It's quite large! Not as much side-to-side width as I was expecting but it fits all of my needs perfectly. there are even pockets on the inside of the larger front pocket. Giving it 4 stars because just like everyone else, we're not thrilled with the new lining of Vera's bags. It's not an end-all design, however I did prefer the cotton interior of the old bags! The Northern Stripes design has an almost brown interior, silky. There's nothing wrong with it though and I'd buy this bag again, it's probably even easier to wash. I will update my review if I notice any problems in the coming months but so far I'm really pleased! The adjustable strap is great for hands free use as well.
