Vera Bradley obsessed and proud of it!

[strmtroopr96]

Thanks!

Is your style/model the Hipster? It looks like they have changed the style a little. The pocket on the front has a zipper instead of a flap like yours. And yes, it looks like they are discontinuing this pattern. I can still find it on ebay.

I noticed "Clare" has a flap pocket but the deminsions are smaller (10 1/2x8 1/2x4 1/2). I'm hoping the hipster isn't too big (11X11X1 3/4).

I have used the Hipster (I have 2 or 3 different versions from the last few years) as my Disney bag for a few years now but actually just replaced it with a Clare for our August trip. The Hipster was starting to be too crammed with stuff (camera, 2 autograph books, wallet, misc stuff) and getting harder to zip and I needed something roomier. I just got a new camera that is bigger and I found that the Clare to offer more room without feeling stuffed to the seams. I do wish the outside pockets were done differently but otherwise I think it work well.

My mother and I recently became VB addicts as well. My favorite color is Mocha Rouge, I love Pink and Brown together so this was perfect. My mother loves the Camellia design. We are taking the amtrack down, so along with a rolling suitcase(which is brown with a little pink, realized it goes perfectly with the mocha rouge color lol) We will each have a weekender and a tote, I got her the villager and she got me the vera. I also have the hipster, and she got lizzy I believe. She got alot on sale for my birthday this past march, so I'm stocked lol, I couldn't believe she got so much, she got alot of cute things I didn't ask for, flip flops and a cute calculator lol among other things. I'm looking into doing a cute dining review and saw that vera has a cute little note pad and thought that be perfect to write little notes on lol.....it's never ending!

But we have become addicted, We are in love with everything Vera Bradley now.

When we were at the Outlet store in Orlando this past May they had those cute calculators for $6.00, plus they were running a sale where everything in the store was an additional 30% off. I already had one of the caluclators in Sunset Safari, but picked both of my D-I-Ls and my GD each up one. I got their's in Mocha Rouge, Plum Petals, and Happy Snails.

I got one of the new weekenders in Ellie Blue last night! Going to use it when I go to Boston later this summer.

 

[PrincessSuzanne]

My package arrived yesterday, Lizzy in Blue Lagoon, One for the Money wallet in Folkloric, and a Tech Case in English Meadow all for $50 shipped

I got my hipster and i love it! I had a hard time choosing a pattern because I'm not a flower/ paisley person but do love VB bays so i got baroque and the yellow is not my typical colour but like it so much I just ordered a Get Carried Away tote which is huge but will be great for putting all stuff in one bag for work. It will now include my lunch bag which is in baroque too (came free with my purchase )

 

[ollynholly]

I'm heading to our outlet on wed. I have my eye on a few things.
There's another store that sells new veras, I'd like to check out the new throws. Bad bad bad. Haha

 

[carobear]

I just ordered my gift from DBF last week and it should get here tomorrow! This is my first vera bradley purchase and I'm excited

Got all 3 for $100 (and free shipping)! Yay!

I haven't taken a VB to the World yet, but I've always liked their stuff. I have a clamshell magnetic cosmetic bag in Watercolor that they don't make anymore that I use every day.

My birthday is on Friday and DH just got me a whole set of stuff in the new color Indigo Pop that just came out the other day. He got me a Weekender bag, Home & Away Cosmetic Case and Straighten Up & Curl. And the shop he bought it at gave him a free Lunch Bunch! Now I'm a SAHM, so I won't be taking my lunch any time soon, but Yeehaw!!

I took a hipster bag and an envelope wallet. I LOVED the envelope wallet! It was roomy, easy to spot in my hipster, and allowed me to keep a small paper envelope for each kids money in it. I'll be using it again for sure!

 

[BackstoryWorthy]

I am not quite "obsessed" but I sure do like Vera! I want to thank this thread for the heads up on the recent Vera sale because I was able to replace my busted non VB card holder wallet (after one measly WDW trip) with a pretty one in Blue Lagoon as well as get teacher and client gifts at a HUGE discount.

And as an early bday present I picked up the convertible Hobo (to a crossbody) in Paisley Meets Plaid (it looked like too much pink for this blue/green gal but it appealed MORE to me in person and is a nice change for late summer/fall from QVC. My Daisy Daisy mailbag had seen 4 vacations and better days so I was hoping to find a decent VB for our November trip. - mission accomplished!

 

[tlovesdis]

I am about to go into to a Vera Bradley store for the very first time!! I'm scared! LOL!!!

 

[Echo queen]

Good luck. I just broke down and bought Large Backpack in Symphony in Hue. Online sale.

 

[tlovesdis]

I was good! Only bought one thing, the Miller Bag in VaVa Bloom!

 

[Cdnmom6]

Awesome! Va va bloom is so pretty!

I have a get carried away tote on the way but i would like to get a tote in the size down from it. Which bag do you think would be the next size down?

Either the Vera or the Miller Bag. The Go Around Tote is a big bag, in fact, it's the Vera turned inside out, or so I was told by the sales girl at the VB Signature store

 

[TBGOES2DISNEY]

I have the Miller bag, and it can fit quite a bit of stuff. It's a nice bag. I packed for my DH for a 3 day trip, and it wasn't stuffed. The Get Carried Away is obviously larger, but if you want something squarer than the Miller, you might consider one of the duffles. I want to get the Get Carried Away and a duffle at some point. It would be nice to have a bag for any occassion. I'm being good lately and ignoring the sales, as I am trying to save up for our trip later in the year. I also have the Vera; great organization - a bit smaller than Miller, but toggle and not a zipper to close it.

 

[jiminykrikkit]

Going to the VB outlet in a week! I love it there....can't wait to spend all my money!! Thinking about getting a duffle. They always have lots of little accessory type things really cheap so it's fun to look through it all
