Vera Bradley

I am a Vera Bradley crazed fan. If you don't know who she is and what she designs take a peek.
She just came out with her new spring colors and they are awesome. It looks like they are watercolored. The above bag is one of the new colors. It is in the Bowler. I currently have it in the Red Paisley. I love this purse and it is the first purse I had purchased in about 5 years (since I used to make them all)

The other great thing about Vera Bradley is they are selective of what stores carry their items. So if you want to find cool unique stores check out who in your area is selling their items and I can guarantee it will be a great shop.

I also am using her year planner and calendar this year and it is WONDERFUL! And the desk calendar makes a great gift for only $15.00

Jeff if you are reading this, Artisians around the corner sells this
and Valentines day is February 14th.

Oh, yeah. Iove Vera Bradley. I actually have some old Vera Bradley placemats of my grandmothers. But I also love the purses. The fabrics are just so gorgeous. I almost bought one to use as my diaper bad, but I bought a JP Lizzie bag instead. I wonder igf I would have liked the Vera bag better.

For all of the Utah girls, there's a luggage store at University mall that sells them. Or if you want a much cooler, fun alternative, there's a store in Salt Lake at Trolley Square called Tabula Rasa. It's a paper store--they sell beautiful stationery, wrapping paper by the sheet, and other gift type items. Just thought you'd like to know.

I do know Vera Bradley, I bought a really good friend of mine the back pack in the red paisley, it was cute.

Yes, she designs some beautiful work.

If I didn't carry around a diaper bag all the dang time, I would love to have one of her pieces. ;P

I love Vera Bradley. I haven't bought yet though. You may have inspired me to do so. So fun.

I know of the bags from frequenting a fave boutique of mine! We have way too many(in a good way)! I like the one you pictured. It wouldn't go with anything I own though. Well, unless I think outside the box and my usual leather!

Now, you know your hubs will HAVE to go there!haha -ciao

Ok, I LOVE the bag you posted! I was first introduced to Vera Bradley when I moved to Kentucky. I keep hinting to Ryan that I would love one as a "going away" present.

I have, and love to look at her bags, but as yet have not succumbed to the temptation. The calendar and planner look neat though, I might need to check those out!

I just received the pink and green Vera Bradley stationery from a friend for Christmas. Love it! So fun!

Love Vera Bradley -- bags, calendars, everything. Surprisingly, we do have a store that carries her bags, so perhaps this spring?............

Everyone here in Greensboro is obcessed with it! I had a purse and wallet of hers, but I gave it to my mom and don't know why...it was light blue and I think got over light blue and wished I had gotten something pink. silly.

Ok, you had to know I couldn't pass up on this one!!! I just got the new "Peacock" in the hipster for my B-day!!!I When we saw the new spring prints in the store .....let's just say, it was crazy!!! If you ever come here to visit we will definately go to the Vera Bradley Store!!! They have furniture, bedding, dishes, luggage, rugs, and they are coming out with PJ pants and straw purses!!! It is such a FUN obsession!!! And don't forget about the annual outlet sale coming up in May, everything almost half off!!!

I love Vera Bradley but I don't own any of her purses. You are right about great and unique stores carrying her stuff. My favorite furniture/home store carries them along with a lot of other fabulous items.

I loved poring over that website...thanks for the link! I always check in on your blog for the best ideas!

My mother has lots of Vera Bradley. Honestly, I haven't really cared much for her stuff until recently. I love the Mesa Red and Java Blue and thought the color pictured on your blog was incredible. I may have to buy a piece in the color for myself.

I love Very Bradley. I first saw her stuff at Gracious Home-- the best home store ever!

Thank you for always posting cute shopping tips.

I'm a Vera Bradley fan! I have the hipster in Mesa Red and I love it. I get 'Where did you get that?' all the time.

I'll have to check out the website. The fabric is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I had never heard of her until you sent me my cool wallet/organizer thing for my birthday.

I've never heard of Vera Bradley (here in UK!) but I can well appreciate the attraction. Sumptuous! Some years ago, however, I had my 'colours done' (when I was a career girl and before I became a mummy) - and the consultant said I should avoid floral, paisley patterns. :-(
She said I should stick to geometric, angular patterns. *shrugs* As a result, I find myself hankering for Orla Kiely stuff (but it's so £££).
Shhh...don't tell anyone I said I liked the paisley! *wink*
