Vera Bradley users- question

[phorsenuf]

Do you match all your pieces or do you mix them up? If you switch out your purse for instance, do you switch out your wallet to the matching pattern, or just use what you use? What about bags you use for luggage? Do all your pieces look like a luggage 'set' or are you eclectic?

I got a ton of pieces for Christmas but I like using all the different patterns together. I really want an XL duffel but the small duffel I have is a retired pattern. Can't seen to find the XL anywhere, even on Ebay. So I'm trying to decide if I should go with a complimentary pattern or just got whatever I like.

Which way do you do it?

I use different ones. I pick prints that match in essence like I have the totally turq wallet with the purple paisly betsey.

I match mine. I don't want to look like a rainbow threw up on me.

That's a little tricky in general with a lot of her patterns though. I just love her stuff. I picked up a laptop skin last week and hoping to get to the outlet tomorrow.

Personally, I mix and match. There are too many patterns I like and don't think I could stick to just one! The inside of my bags look like VB threw up in them.

I like to have all the pieces be the same pattern. Vera Bradley has a knack for making sure that it's very hard to find different patterns that coordinate well. It can be done, but it's not easy!

And even if they don't match at all, it seems like the patterns released in the same season look okay together too.

I match mine.

I don't match mine. I don't carry a VB wallet, though.

I use her bags as diaper bags, purses, carry on.. I don't worry about them matching.

I don't match all of mine. Most of my luggage pieces are in one pattern but purses, and smaller pieces, I have a few different patterns. Buy what makes you happy!

I always carry a VB Hipster purse (I have three different ones and I am LUSTING after a Sunset Safari) and I like to have a wallet, etc to match each purse. I change everything into the new wallet when I change purses. Sadly they stopped making the wallet style I liked a couple of years ago, so I have to buy a different one now.

I really wish she would offer "coordinating" pieces... like maybe a wallet in the "inner lining" fabric or a solid quilted fabric to go along with each main color/print. That way everything wouldn't look JUST the same, but it would still match.

I don't own any luggage, its just too expensive; and I already have a good set of plain black luggage.

Me too, I like some of the interior patterns better than the exterior!
