Vera Bradley, anyone???

[AmazingGrace]

I've been seeing these bags around for ages and never knew where they came from or who made them. I have the Capri Blue bucket tote and i was kinda disappointed. Then I saw someone with a Bowler at church. That seems like the perfect bag for me. i ordered it off the vera site for just $25 since the print is being retired.. The normal price is $72. I'm anxiously waiting for it to come in.
Here's a link to the site.

Some folks i know hate these bags, and think they're like grandma bags, but I just love them.

I have so many Vera Bradley bags it's ridiculous! I just love them and refuse to carry anything that's not Vera .

Glad you enjoy your Vera Bradley just as much as me!

I love Vera Bradley. They are really lightweight so they don't hurt your shoulders. Enjoy!!

I have quite a few Vera Bradley bags. I just ordered a Miller bag for my mom as a Christmas gift (she's been trying to sneak mine every time I visit her). I was really glad to get such a good deal. Most of the newer fabrics just aren't my taste, but that's O.K. it will keep me from spending too much for at least a little while.

I was really dissapointed when they changed their wallet design. I like to be able to have all my stuff in the same pockets, wallet after wallet. I stocked up, but now I'm on my last one.

I love my bowler!! It is awesome (and I don't like purses) It has become my Mary Poppins bag just like my backpack that I took to WDW.

I looooove Vera Bradley!! I have so many bags it's kind of ridiculous. I actually just started working part-time at the Vera store near me so now that I get a pretty nice discount...ohhh boy. Though I am trying to restrain myself until the new spring patterns come out...there's going to be a purple one and I am SO EXCITED! (if you want to see the new patterns go to the VB website, click on the VB facebook page link at the bottom, and then there's a photo album with the new colors).

I bought myself a bucket tote last night in Mod Floral Blue and a cosmetic bag in pink elephants (going to use it for my stuff when we go to Disney World next month!).

I'm becoming addicted to Vera. The last 2 times I was on their clearance site I was even able to get the current patterns for the discounted price!!! Loved that bargain.

Same here! I even have the rolling luggage, umbrellas, belts, pj pants! It's a sickness I tell ya!LOL I can't get enough! I just took advantage of the 60% off sale too buying some Xmas gifts and maybe 1 or 2 things for me. DD is 10 and she loves them too and has her own little collection going.

Which wallet are you referring too? There are about 3-4 different wallet styles. Personally I like the zip wallet the best. I like that I can fit my check book in there.

I've started making vera"esque" bags with my boyfriend's daughter. We're having fun with it making Christmas presents for grandmothers, aunts, great grandmothers, etc.
But I haven't been brave enough to carry one of the purses myself. I'm an all black kind of girl -
but I've got a really cute blue paisley I might have to keep for myself!
I had no idea they sold pajama pants too! I might have to shop the sale page. hmmm.

I have quite a few Vera's also. I live about 45 minutes from Ft Wayne, IN where they are headquartered. The outlet sales are awesome!!! It always amazes me what I can occasionally find at garage sales around here. Some people just don't care for them and sell them cheaply in garage sales for little to nothing. The best deal my mom found for me was a NWT Marigold print zip around briefcase type bag for $5!!!!! It's great as a laptop case too. I got a Greenbriar purse NWT for $3 and sold it on Ebay for $45!!!

They call it "Wallet with Strap". I actually use it as a handbag. The wallet used to feature a "flap" in the middle that has credit card pockets on one side and 2 clear windows on the other.

I am absolutely addicted to Vera Bradley. I can't get enough. My mom bought me my first one just a few weeks before she passed away and I have just been drawn to them ever since. I hav always beena purse addict, but now that I have VB, I may never buy another brand ever again

I just ordered 5 more items on the 60% off sale. I have even bought a couple of the duffle bags and this will be my new WDW luggage, they are wonderful and you can get alot of stuff in one, more than I could even get in my huge suitcase that is heavy and ugly, these are alot more colorful and easy to carry around.
