I admit, I have an addiction to Vera Bradley! Do you? (Open w/caution if u don't lol)

[Jessica527]

So, yes I do admit that I have an addiction to Vera bradley and I have had one for many years! It has gotten worse over the years with all the new patterns but I love them so much! Vera really knows women and their needs in storage, purses, and every other product you can think of!

Here are some questions for you!!

1. Do you have the same addiction?
2. What is your favorite bag/vera product?
3. Any favorite patterns?
4. What is your favorite travel/disney bag?

Would love to hear if anyone else loves Vera as much as me...!!!!

If you want to trade some vera, I have posted my list on the trade collectors board here: Vera Bradley trades!!!!
post 1238!

I must admit, they have never appealed to me. Sorry. You can have my share

Everyone has their thing I just love it because they are so practical!

Like my hipster I bring to Disney:

Hands free, and some great pockets!

 

[NY Disney fan]

I'm a total addict. I have several in my collection. My faves are my pink elephant large duffel, my paprika weekender, and my one of my large totes. I have so many. But I don't just collect them. I use my bags and accessories 7 days a week.

 

[wdwgirl03]

1. Yes (it may have been fueled by having a signature store nearby plus being able to get a pretty nice discount...)
2. I love the regular tote and hipster...but I just bought the Perfect Pocket Tote in Tea Garden and am using that as my school bag-love that too!
3. Pretty much any of them with purple...Purple Punch, Plum Petals; also Bali Blue and Pinwheel Pink. I tend to go for the ones with bright colors.
4. Hipster!

 

[MattsPrincess]

Don't know that I'm "addicted"...more like very fond.

I have the mini hipster that I use for day trips, the pattern is like...buttercup or something?

Then I have a make-up case in the lagoon pattern.

And a regular purse in the one with purple flowers.

So yeah, I don't even know what the patterns are called, lol. But I do love the ones I have and will probably own others in the future.

 

[Scrappy_Tink]

Okay, I'll admit have a problem!!! The hipster is my fav every-day bag....have in multiple patterns.....but my favorite of all, is the Metropolitan bag for air travel!! It gas a section inside for a laptop (perfect for my iPad! And a "pocket" on the outside that slips over your rolling luggage handle....not to mention the cool compartment in front that has a bunch of pockets and pen holders. im holding out for some more winter patterns for our December trip....I love the new Rythm & Blues pattern, but it's not winterish to me!! Oh, I'm also addicted to all the little patterned accessories too.

Yes!! me too, I am addicted, I just bought another Villager in Purple Punch at the Vera Outlet on Friday!
I love the villager, and the all the totes. I have an addiction to tote bags.
LOL
my favorite is an older pattern blue java.

I am all about big bags........always seem to have a lot, so I was not sure about the hipster, can you fit a lot in it?

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Okay truth be told I used to like it when I got my first bag on line on sale from VB. That being said I now hate it.....and yet I keep buying it. Does that make sense? I have an outlet near me and I go in and just cannot control myself. Yesterday they had 30% off the outlet price which means a 125.00 tote was 50! So what do I do? I get the "diaper" bag in black as a tote. It is lined in plastic which is great for a variety of reasons. Don't know why they call it a diaper bag. Really of all the pieces I have this one is the most practical because it is not plastered with flowers like the others. I most likely have 15 to 20 bags not to mention accessory pieces. I have a few Betseys, the one with the knot on it, three back packs (one large two small) and various and sundry other bags including the woven straw clutch with the yellow lining.
I have three wallets, lanyards, eye glass cases, make up cases, and jewelery holders! NOTICE I used plural!

If you do not live near an outlet consider yourself lucky because if you are like me and do not like them you will find that you buy them out of habit or addiction.

 

[Jessica527]

Yea I live right near the outlet, it is horrible when you are trying not to buy much! And to make it worse, they put a brand new vera store in the King of Prussia mall right near me as well..

Lots of vera!

 

[AmazingGrace]

I love my Hipsters and Saddle ups. I have them both in Blue Rhapsody. The Saddle Up I'm using now, is Carnaby. It's a perfect fall pattern.

Carnaby is a great fall pattern! I am starting to really like happy snails too

 

[KatGarcia]

I am highly addicted to Vera!!!

I have about 6 bags in various sizes and i want more!!! My fav colors are bali blue, java blue and purple punch. I cant get enough of them!@!!!

 

[a1tinkfans]

me too

 

[mom2travel]

Yes, I suppose I'd qualify as an addict. I love bags generally and find it difficult to control myself when I find a Vera sale. I've now addicted DD as well

My everyday item is the all in one wristlet. Stick my phone in the back, clip on my keys, and I'm good to go

For WDW I love my hipster and mini-hipster

And I travel with my tote all the time

 

[sandramaac]

I am a huge handbag person--high end, Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Escada, Burberry are among some of the bags in my collection.

However, for summer trips and local travel I do like VB. Have two set of three large duffles, the latest in Symphony in Hue. Use the VB travel pieces such as the cosmetic bags. I love the large duffles when I am traveling some place buy car. They pack well and are roomy. And with so many issues in US hotels having bed bugs, I love the fact that if I feel I need to, I can wash them. And for beach type trips, I like the ease of the VB bags, along with their fun summer look on many of the patterns.

 

[DisneyTravelers2008]

I love Vera! The prints are so pretty! I have several bags in the older Chocolat pattern...the backpack which I am carry right now for every day...the small and large duffle, the tote bag and one other smaller one. Oh...and I have a really pretty bpurse in teh "sitting in a tree " pattern that was a gift from my mom. I have just had to force myself not to go crazy buying them. I could spend ALL my money on all the pretty patterns....sigh...

 

[mrsheppo]

I just started collecting VB about a year and a half ago. I now have 2 mini hipsters, 3 hipsters, a Maggie bag, duffel bag, 2 wallets, glass cases, checkbook cover and my latest purchase is the Weekender bag. I have several different patterns and love the many choices.

 

[HonnyDipp]

I am ADDICTED to these bags! I ordered couple summer bags a few years back. I got back into it earlier this year. I bought the large duffel in English Meadow. I loved it so much I bought the Signature Cotton Convertible Hipster in the same pattern. Going into the winter months, I wanted a bag with more darker colors. So last week, I ordered the "Frannie" in Versailles along with a matching wallet. Fed-Ex is supposed to be bringing it today.

I thought I was satisfied with my purchase until I saw opened up a Vera Bradley email yesterday morning. The Large Hobo was on sale so I ordered that in in Blue Rhapsody.

Yeah, I have a slight problem. But these bags are so pretty and well made!
