Hey Vera Bradley Hipster fans - to mini or not?

Here's the Mini-Hipster sale page. 7 colors for $18 each.

Mini hipster or all in one wristlet? Trying to decide between the two. What do you think?

 

[GetGlowing]

I'd choose the Mini-Hipster simply because it's hands-free. And it holds more.

(However, the mini-wristlet does have a strap you can attach to a belt loop...)

THanks, Just wondering if the all in one wristlet could fit in a pocket--then transfer to a purse? Don't know what I would need since I have only had purses. Now dds are old enough where I could just use this and dh could do a backpack with other stuff. Thanks!

From the VB website, the dimensions are
3” x 5¼” ¾” – 6” wrist strap link

My DD just ordered the Hipster. I can't wait for it to come in so I can add my opinion to this thread! I guess I'll be ordering one for myself after I see hers!

I ordered and received the Night Owl hipster a couple weeks ago. I plan to take both the hipster and my backpack when we go to DW in October. I have never used a hipster, only the backpack so I'll see which one I like the best. I usually carry my refillable mug in my backpack and it will fit in my hipster, too. So I should be fine with that. No more removing a backpack to sit down on the attractions.

I got one of the Lil Hipsters in the microfiber and I think it's bigger than the mini hipster in the signature prints. It also has a wider strap. I'm pretty sure it was $20 on sale. I gotta stop ordering this stuff - everyone I know is getting VB for Christmas!

That must be nice!

Anyone in the Chicago burbs? Aurora outlet mall is getting a VB outlet in November!

On our last day at WDW, the zipper on my mini-backpack disintegrated...what to do to replace my in the park bag?? Found this thread and now own a Mod Floral mini-hipster that will carry all that I need ! Any hints as to what fits in all those little pockets? I like to carry a pen with me so will probably get a mini pen to fit; hybrid key fob fits in perfectly...what fits in for you??

me want Large Duffel in Peacock ...

 

[DMGeurts]

I would love a large duffel in Java Blue - but it's not a retiring color - I hope it won't be any time soon. I know, I've said differently in previous posts... but the new winter 2009and spring 2010 are horrible - I hope Vera sticks with what they have.

Congrats! Consider this your fair warning... once you use your hipster and accessories - then you'll realize how awesome it is to be completely organized while being extremely cute - there is no turning back. I can't even count my bags and accessories anymore... I just checked today and I placed my first order on 8-26-2008 - it hasn't even been a year yet.

Have fun and enjoy your trip!

Does Vera make pet beds? Because if I set my hipster on the table, next thing I know, my cat is on top of it.

Is there a website that shows the inside of the hipster? Everyone I've checked just shows the outside of VB hipsters.

ETA: Found my answer in this thread.

I took some comparison pictures for you guys, if you want to see the size difference between the two. I was feeling bored and hopefully, this will help someone!

I've been meaning to do this for a while -- here are photos of my Vera bags, interior and exteriors.

Includes Large Backpack, Lola handback, Zip ID case, Hipster (old style), Mini Hipster, pocket wallet.

I don't have a current style hipster, so I don't know how it differs from the old style.

It tells me I need to log in.
