Hey Vera Bradley Hipster fans - to mini or not?

[DMGeurts]

Yay... I just got my new zip ID case in the Hope Garden print... I sure hope that VB opens at store at the MOA soon - I can't believe that there isn't one there already! I'm feeling the itch for a new hipster (Hope Garden or Java Blue) and as soon as the Java Blue goes on sale (it is the oldest print, so it should be going soon), I'm getting the weekender.

Gotta love Vera.

I finally won my mini hipster on ebay, it's the Botanica print, very pretty! Can't wait to get it. Now, I'm looking for the VB On the Go bag, does anyone have this one? If so what are your thoughts on it? I'd use it as an everyday bag.

I use the On The Go in Purple Punch for my everyday purse:

I LOVE IT! It has good size pockets on the outside that I can fit my blackberry and sunglasses in, nice pockets inside and plenty of room for everything I need - I carry my VB zip around wallet (also purple punch), checkbook, 3 big prescription bottles, various papers for school and work, pens, highlighters, gum, lipstick, etc. Very roomy!

I love the purple punch pattern! The On the Go sounds like just what I need for everyday! Is that mostly a black background on it? Uh oh, here I go again getting another VB........

 

[ColoradoLime]

Yes, the background is black so the colors really pop. =-)

I tried extra20 last night and it didn't work does anyone have any other codes? Free shipping would sure be nice!

I have the Hipster and the All-In-One Wristlet in Purple Punch and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! If you see the bag in person, you will see that though the background appears black, it is actually a beautiful chocolate brown. Hope you love it as much as I do!

I love the hipster - have three. I tried a bigger bag and it was just too heavy, tried the mini for Disney and it was too small.

I am petite (5'2'' and a size 6). I carry at all times at Disney APs, ID, and resort ID, small hand sanitizer, digital elph (compact) camera, cellphone, small bottle of advil, chapstick w/sunblock.

That did not fit easily in the mini-style bag. Just my resort ID, phone, and camera would have fit - but the hand sanitizer and advil are must-carry items for me.

 

[AmazingGrace]

What about the cargo Sling? Has anyone taken that to a park? what was your experience with it?

I agree!

I'm sure that I will! When I get one I'll let you all know what I think.
I won a mini hipster off of ebay, it's the Botanica and it's beautiful too! Can't wait to use it at WDW!

I have the regular and I LOVED it last week. It wasn't hot and was very convient!!! I also got the clip id case and kept money, gift cards, park ticket, and ID in it, and in my hispter went that, camera, extra batteries, chap stick, hand lotion, and a small tube of sunscreen. It was very nice to have the extra room and not have to take everything out just to get one thing.

I got the email yesterday and used the free shipping this morning. I got a bunch of Christmas gifts all for less than $100! I had them all in my shopping cart from last week, but didn't want to pay shipping - worked out well for me!

I love the "maxi"; I think the mini would be too small for what I need to carry. But I try very hard not to bring too much and I am getting much better than I used to be!

 

[beccasmom]

I'm sure that I will! When I get one I'll let you all know what I think.

LOVE the Botanica print - that's what I have!

I need the OP to change the title of this thread to "Do not open this thread".

I just went on a VB spree.

I recently bought the hipster in pinwheel pink and the mini-hipster in Bali Gold (can't wait for this one to retire so I can get more). I thought I was done...

Today I got a Backsack, Eyeglass Case, Small Tic Tac Tote, 2 Cell Phone Cases, Little Betsy, Zip ID Case, and a Pocket Wallet in some of the retired patterns (peacock, botanica, capri blue, and kensington).

Unfortunately while browsing the site I also fell in love with the backsack in botanica but VB was out so I had to pay $25 on e-bay for it as opposed to the $15 it would be on VB.com. I love the print so I don't mind.

Last week I ordered three VB items from ebags: two backpacks and a clutch wallet. The patterns were all "off" and they looked like seconds. I returned all three items. Anyone else had any problems like this with ebags? Decided I'll stick with my local shop or VB online.

I have not had any problems with Ebags... but I have only ordered one VB bag from them which was the Daisy Daisy hipster - and it was the discontinued style. I don't have any other items in this pattern to compare it to. Hopefully someone else can help.

I ordered a cargo sling in Daisy daisy. It should be here tomorow. I think this is a beautiful pattern. I'm sorry it's getting retired.
