Vera Bradley hipster?

[GrumpyMom25]

Looks like ebags.com has 4 different pattern on sale right now for $31.99 with free shipping ... that's the cheapest I've seen them. The original price is $54.00 so I don't know if you can do much better then that.
I just got my Hipster this week and love it. I don't think however that I'll be carrying it around the parks ... it will go along with me tho. I'm afraid to have it out in the heavy rain storms and right now I'm carrying my phone, wallet, camera, keys, iPod shuffle, and a couple of other small things and the bag is stuffed. I just got my Heys Travel Mate from QVC today and think that may hold a bit more.

I have 2 of the Hipsters and want to order the wallet. Does anyone have the zip around wallet? I would like to know if you can put your check book in it? I bought the velcro one and it is just bigger than what I wanted.

Vera Bradley, my favorite form of "crack". I check ebags and VB website daily. They do have a mini hipster on Ebags for 26.99, I think in the Medallion pattern, the newest retiring patterns ( 4 of them) are a few dollars more. I love my Mini Hipster. Used my first one in Wash DC last month, and bought another in Classic Black when I got home with the mini wallet that fits inside perfectly. I also bought one for my mother who is going to WDW with me in Dec. She is going to love it--not too heavy, holds camera, cell phone, I pod and earphones, plus lip gloss and different credit cards or Dr. License. I am a plus size 22, 5"4, the strap of the Mini fit me perfectly. Mom has had back surgery and needs a smaller bag while on the move, I hope. The velcro on the flap held it shut pretty well although I checked it from time to time. It also has a zipper closure under the front flap for extra security so you don't have to worry about dumping things out. It did not bother my shoulders and I really tried to pay attention to that. All the interior pockets where a great size.

I considered the Hipster, but thought it was a tad too big for traveling on vacation, if you are sightseeing. It would be a great regular bag for daily use IMO. I ordered one as a gift and it was a tad smaller than what I thought which was great. The strap is wider and may be more comfy, but the cord strap on the mini is not bad. The new Hipster is cute with a flap close pocket on the front, while the old style has a flat profile. There are several for sale at really good prices on Ebags. Do you think I could work for Vera one day??

My MIL uses the zip around, the travel wallet may be large enough for a check book, take a look the measurements. The zip around has great pockets on the inside--not as familiar with the travel size. The travel size might be too big--which would mean that you would have to get a bigger Vera Bradley bag to carry it. I love that logic. Have fun shopping.

Oh perfect, thanks! I didn't realize it included shipping- I was afraid of paying an arm and a leg for that on top of the bag price. Not bad at all! So it holds a good amount of stuff? I visit the parks at least once a week and need a smaller bag than my full size purse. I'd like to fit in my wallet, sunglasses, and maybe a camera.. but wanted the purse to be compact. I think I'll order the classic black.. thanks again!

I just checked ebags and they have the back pack in petal pink!! I just have to order it. I have a red microfiber backpack that I use all the time but I really wanted a summer color -- now I found it!!

Thanks so much-- love the free shipping!

I'm having trouble with the Vera Bradley website ... do you have to be a registered member to add things to your cart ... I'm also not seeing the sales that others are talking about. Probably a good thing.
Are there other online sources (like ebags) for the smaller items like change purses an id tags?

You do not have to be a member to add to cart. If you have another computer maybe try that? ebages are good and you can usually find codes for free shipping on the internet. I believe the change purse & zip id case are listed under accessories. The discontinued ones at ebags are only about $8.40... FYI, ebags & vera bradley site have different items/colors in stock.
