Vera Bradley obsessed and proud of it!

[Anesthesia Fine]

I really didn't like Vera Bradley bags, until I saw the Mickey ones, then I was kind interested. Still wasn't sure. Then I decided to buy the Perfect Petals. I wanted a new bag for my WDW trip this year. Been using it every day for the last couple of months and I really like it. Last month I also got a small fuchsia one. Now, yesterday, I'm not sure what came over me, and I ordered two more. A cross body in tango red, I think and a cross body mail bag in cheery blossoms.

Also, I cannot say that if I see this one again at WDW and I haven't seen any other souvenirs that I really like, that I won't get this one. Lol.

SAME. I bought that Where's Mickey mini-hipster and love it, decided to pick up a black one (the Mickey heads! TOO CUTE!), and was all "meh, I'm good, I'm not crazy about the rest of the Disney patterns"...

...and then I was on zulily a couple weeks ago and I don't know what happened, exactly, but anyway my credit card is all "so we're taking a break now, right?"

Oh, I am so not allowed to buy anything for myself until I am on my trip. Not only did I purchase the VB bags, but on the same day, I also found a few perfect pieces of jewelry that will be cute for DisneyBounding when I go down in November. I already have clothes I can combine to do Snow (which I did already last year), Belle, and Ariel. The red purse will be perfect for all three outfits. She is also making me a Tinkerbell / Peter Pan bangle bracelet instead of the normal Tink necklace she makes. She is going to add a Jolly Roger ship charm, and a feather with a red bead on it, to the Tink charm with the green and white bead, and stamp the round charm Fly Away to Neverland.

Love it!

Just got my Vera Where's Mickey mini hipster in the mail today and I am super excited! I think it is going to be perfect for my next solo trip, because it is JUST the right size to hold my Nook (samsung galaxy). It can also hold my travel journal as long as I don't want to zip the top up.

I just ordered this bag from Disneystore.com last night as they had it on sale. I have the Midnight with Mickey hipster, but kind of wanted something a bit smaller, too. I love how lightweight Vera purses are!

Subbing to this thread! I have a few VB bags (my favs are the large duffle and the get carried away tote), but I ordered my first Disney VB - the campus backpack in Disney Dreaming - and it should be here any day now! I'll post a picture when it arrives!

Love this thread! Can't believe I didn't find it before now, LOL. Over the last few years I have become more and more hooked on VB. I am not really into crazy prints so it took me a while to warm up but I fell in love with a couple of the simpler patterns and now I'm hooked! I just purchased a Where's Mickey mini-hipster that I planned to use on our next trip to WDW (I used a mini-hipster in Baroque last year and it was PERFECT, barely noticed I had it on!) but now our trip has been moved from September to February. So I'm thinking about maybe a small backpack that could hold the jackets we'll have to wear in the mornings. Walking back and forth to a locker is not something I'm willing to do. I want something as small as possible that could hold 3 sweatshirt type jackets, that weighs as little as possible, and that can smush down or be sat on for rides. So it seemed like Vera Bradley might be a good fit. Never bought any of their backpacks, so with all that info is there anything any of you guys can recommend from the VB line? Doesn't have to be available in a disney print, though that's certainly a bonus.

Thanks in advance!!

If you go on the VB website, you can look at all the styles they have and they even have video clips so that you can see them on an actual person for size comparison. I would make sure you get one with all zippers for the parks, some have flap pockets, so you definitely want something secure.

Just unboxed my Disney Dreaming Campus Backpack. I love it! I have excellent Mickey and Minnie images and the print is absolutely gorgeous in person! Yay!

Thanks! I was super pleased! Couldn't have asked for a cuter placement of M&M

 

[Mloper]

I ordered the mini hipster but now I'm not sure if it's big enough, should I have ordede the regular size hipster....thoughts?

 

[Gryhndmom]

I have both...for the parks I like the bigger hipster to hold car keys, small camera, sunglasses, small purchases etc. For just stops around town, I like the mini since it is perfect for credit cards, my asthma inhaler and phone.

 

[beldred]

I use a mini-hipster for the parks. Last trip mine held: cell phone, digital camera, cash, credit cards, 2 empty folded ziploc bags, chapstick, bandaids, travel sunscreen, 2 new dollar ponchos, about 5 index cards (with rez numbers and stuff on them) and a few pins for trading. I might even be forgetting something. It seemed like a LOT of stuff, but all small in size I suppose. The bag was not overloaded or feel stuffed and was so lightweight I barely noticed it, even with my resort mug clipped to the strap with a carabiner.

I have this one and I love it !!!!!

 

[Gryhndmom]

Saw a video clip on the disney blog done at the downtown disney co-op. Thought I heard the "fashionista" say new vera styles coming soon ?! Ooohhhh...I hope so !

Pretty bag!! I am in love with this pattern, especially after seeing it in person

 

[jesster]

Has anyone tried out the Little Hipster Crossbody? I'd like a smaller bag, but I need something that is big enough to hold my one biggish item -a sunglasses case, otherwise I travel pretty light (i.d. holder, chapstick and phone). I'm open to other bag suggestions, too
