Vera Bradley obsessed and proud of it!

[Gryhndmom]

well I thought I would never need to join here.... but I was wrong! After getting the Disney VB hipster,and I love it.... but 'needed' a different, larger purse for traveling needs, I just ordered a small VB Dis backpack (ebay NWT) HOW did this happen to me????? oh wait....I know on my last trip I saw the VB bags everywhere at Disney...and started 'needing' more....those fabrics are so cute!

Vera and disney are soooo good at hooking us in ! I am hoping for a vera event like they did last May....just looking for an excuse to go back to WDW !

 

[Gryhndmom]

Saw the new Disney Vera bags coming out in March or April...one is pink with mickey heads and the other is black. Merchandise manager Steve posted this information today on the Disney Parks Blog. I of course asked if there would be a Vera event like last year (perfect petals brunch) and I hope he replies YES!

Pixiesnake... not sure if you had a reply. This new layout is a bit confusing to me. I have a mini hipster and large as well as an iphone 6. If you would like me to take pictures of both them with the phone, I would be happy to if this would help you out. Please send me a PM incase i miss your reply as I am not always on here and the PM will go right to my email.

Thank you so much for your offer. I just returned from Disney and was able to find the answer for myself. In a very slim case the iPhone 6 will fit in the Crossbody but is a VERY tight fit.

That must be the cellphone crossbody Pixiesnake. There is plenty of room in the mini hipster and definitely the large hipster.

Does anyone know if the VB Weekender would fit under the seat of a plane? (I normally fly with Jetblue to WDW. I looked at the dimensions of the under seat storage, but it's confusing)

........simply cannot understand why there are no Vera stores in the UK.........

Yes.. I put my weekender under the seats on Jet Blue.. plenty of room!

Are you looking for Vera in general or Disney Vera? Can you purchase on line? I am happy to help out if you need it.

Thank you!

Ok VB lovers... I need your help! I'm brand new to Vera Bradley and my first purchase will be the black VB Weekender bag. I'm going to be traveling for work a lot in the near future, and this looks ideal for what I need.

I found the bag in the VB outlet store at my local outlet mall. Normally $140, marked down by 40% off. Is this a pretty standard sale for the outlets? You know how some outlets always have the same things on sale? Only thing I didn't like about it is that the two front pockets were open, whereas the "non outlet" version had a zipper pocket which is more useful. Do VB bags ever go on sale in normal stores outside of the outlet? What's the best place to buy them from for the best chance at a sale?

Thanks all!

Go on Vera Bradley on line. There are some on sale right now for $60. If you go thru ebates and then vera you will get a bit more back too! Check it out you have nothing to lose. I find that in my VB outlet I can get a better deal if I watch the sales on line.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the reply. I'm just looking for the black suede one, not a patterened one. Haven't been lucky enough to catch the one I want on sale at all, it always seems to be $140. Do they ever do semi annual sales, coupons, or anything like that?

Advice needed..... HOw do I clean my purse? It is getting a little dingy in spots.... I was thinking of hand washing those spots in cold water and hanging to dry.... I was also thinking of scotchguarding after that....any advice?

I always Scothguard mine as soon as I get them, but honestly they still get dingy on the straps mostly. But, you can just throw it in with your laundry. They are almost all washable. If it is a tote with cardboard bottom, remove that first. I washed my older bright red deco daisy hipster and it did great. No fading at all. Just hung it up to dry.

Every year there is a huge sale at the home base for Vera Bradley. It's a weekend long event.

I live in Fort Wayne. I usually go to the outlet sale every year. Fantastic deals and it can be a little overwhelming. So much Vera. But it's so much fun too! I can post pic this year on this thread if you would like.
