I am partial to crossbody bags and I had been trying to find one I really liked for quite some time. I went to a Vera Bradley outlet and found the Quick Draw style and fell in LOVE with it and ended up buying two of them right then and there. I bought my bags in Twirly Bird Navy and English Meadow. Before buying on Amazon, I would suggest checking the VB website because they do have sale colors and some might be cheaper on the VB website depending on if you'd like an old style or a newer style. Anywho, I know VB is a popular brand but these bags really do hold up-it's not just the name you're buying. This bag is extremely well made, as are all other VB bags. This Quick Draw design is 9" x 13" x 5" with a 52" adjustable strap; you can wear it as a crossbody so your hands are free (which is what I do) or you can tighten the strap and make it into a simple shoulder bag. The reason it is called a Quick Draw is because of the drawstring it sports at the top, closing the bag: there is no zipper. Most of the time I much prefer this to a zipper because that can get annoying, but it also takes longer to open than a bag with a zipper would, but I really don't mind. As long as you pull it tight, it shuts the bag. There are two magnetic pockets on the outside so you can put easy to access things there-I usually have my phone and keys in each pocket. On the inside, there is a small/medium zipper pocket that I usually hold pens, chapstick, hand sanitzer, and lotion in. There are also 3 pockets that I keep gum and other various things in that I want to have easy access to. The bag itself is a good medium size; I can fit my VB hard sunglasses case (which is quite large for a glasses case), an eyeglasses case, my VB wallet (which is equally large), checkbook, and have lots of room to spare if I maybe wanted to put some water in there or something of that nature. All in all, I've had these bags for about 4 months and I have been switching them out and using them nonstop. These are my favorite crossbodys so far and I highly reccommend them to anyone! If you buy sale colors and stay away from buying the "newest" colors, you can definitely get these at an awesome price, that's what I always do. These bags hold up for years, I've never had a problem with a Vera bag and that's why I continue to buy from them.
