Disney & Vera Bradley...Can you say love???

[ColoradoLime]

A new Disney pattern was released this week. I may or may not have already purchased a small backpack in this cute design!

Too cute! I'll have to let BFF know. She loves Daisy!

Vera has had a lot of really cute Disney designs. I have a small backpack (pink, don't remember the pattern name, got it in '15) and a zip ID that's perfect for my park bag in lieu of a regular wallet.

LeSportSac has done some adorable Disney designs, too. And of course, the Dooneys are wonderful. But the one I'm really 'wishing on a star' for is a collaboration between Disney and Baggalini.

I was first introduced to Vera Bradley when I was planning my first trip to WDW. Turned into a dangerous addiction!

I don't always love Vera Bradley but this one is a pure winner!

Agree. Some patterns skate the horrific line. Lol. But give me anything paisley.

I personally love the Kate Spade. I got the little pink Mickey head satchel 2 years ago, and I still get people stopping me to exclaim over it! ❤

I agree Baggalini is a great park bag! The RFID small convertible crossbody in this collection might work, but at $55 it is pricey for the size.

I received an email day of alerting me. This is the first time I have splurged and bought a new pattern at full price. I went with the Kids backpack with ears. OMG! Too cute!! I am not sure I like the kooky arms and legs on the characters. But they are nicely tucked into the paisley pattern. I wish the smaller backpack had had the ears. That would have been perfection IMO. I regretted not getting the Hadley backpack in the Mickey’s Paisley Celebration, so this time I just went for it! No one was in my local TX store when I went. They did not have the ears backpack though. Then they had it at a busier Houston mall! I am just so excited about it and happy to find this post!!! I am wondering how scarce this ears backpack will be? Any other adults on here buy the kids backpack??

Yeah the squiggly arms are a throwback and weird in some aspects but the pattern blends well. The backpack with the ears is super cute. I thought about buying the patterned ears separately but decided to save my money for the parks. lol I really wanted to go to the store to buy my backpack but I knew if I did alllllll my money would be gone. So I did the safer online option.

I love it too. I got to see it in a Hallmark store on Saturday - I went back today and they are pretty much sold out. I ended up ordering the Triple Compartment crossbody online (fingers crossed for good pattern placement). I think it will be a good park bag for evening and downtown Disney, when I need less stuff.

I almost went to the store to look at it in person but got busy. Each picture I see of the different bags has different placing of the pattern. I'm hoping Mickey isn't too hidden on the small backpack.

You may not get Mickey at all. With 6 characters and all of the paisley, you may get a different character. I am ok with that, but I want at least one complete character on my bag. If I don't get that I will return it.

That is my thought too. I like Donald and all but if he’s the only character then the cost isn’t really worth it to me. At that point I’d go in the store to look at other items. I’m wondering what the pattern looks like on the big backpacks.

This is why I'm always so leery of ordering Vera and Dooney online. Sometimes it feels as if they pull the ones with the 'best front' pattern to stock the stores where people will pick and choose 'in person'. Most 'mail orderers' wouldn't return their purchase because they weren't happy with the print on the front.

I was just in the Vera Bradley store at Disney Springs and I felt with the paisley bags you had to dig a bit more to get one with full characters on the front- at least for the smaller bags. I always love shopping for stuff like that in person because they'll go in the back and try to find whatever placement you're looking for.

I've usually had good luck with Disney Dooneys ordering online though placement wise so not sure how much it matters with that brand.

Got my bag last night and I love it. It is the perfect size to carry around the parks, more purse size than big backpack size and we don't pack much. I think I got lucky with the characters. Pics are below. I didn't see Minnie and only got Daisy's foot, but when we're talking about the six included those are my bottom two so no biggie there. I got three Mickeys! I didn't see it in the online pic, but there are some hidden Mickeys in the flowers. The inside is hella cute.

Front - Goofy, Pluto, and a squished Mickey :



Back - Mickey on the strap with Donald and Goofy underneath:



Top - Mickey right there where I'll see him every time I put it on:



Inside lining - LOVE this:

I just ordered the mini backpack, too!

Have you received yours yet? Curious to see how they compare.

Unfortunately I didn't see the specific bag I wanted locally. I didn't have time to get to the mall and they didn't have it at Hallmark, which carries VB. I ordered the triple compartment crossbody, which I envision using in the evenings in the parks and also at Disney Springs.
