disappointed with current VB prices

I'm not trying to complain or bash Vera Bradley. I have been collecting for years and love their totes and handbags. But, why are we seeing such high prices? The cargo sling and tic tac tote are $88??!! Look at the Vera tote - it's $86 but it is huge with interior quilted pockets and quilted straps. So why are we seeing the Tic Tac tote at $88???

Right now I'm only going to be able to purchase one of these great bags with either a coupon code or on eBay or wait until the pattern I like is on clearance. I'm sad to see them getting out of my price range Smiley Sad

High prices and to me garish and loud prints I wouldn't carry.

I think the prices are about the same.

Do you ever shop thrift or resale stores? I do, and I see VB items there quite often at greatly reduced prices. I recently bought a large VB tote with great pockets in like-new condition for $4 and change at Goodwill! A quick run through the washer and it was ready to go! I looked it up online and found it for $80+.

New to VB , so I don't know what former prices were. I will be doing my future purchases , as I am current ones - with coupons or codes, or waiting on another great sale.

I like a couple of the new patterns, but not going to pay regular price. {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

I don't have much of a collection yet, but proud to carry the 3 bags I own, garish and all!{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Luckily VB has lots of sales and coupon codes available. If you just keep an eye on the VB website you can get great deals.

Re: disappointed with current VB prices

I was very fortunate. I'm a purple gal and fell totally in love with Heather last fall. My b-day was in October. My Mom had picked up some well-placed hints I dropped. But I never expected what I got............The Hipster, the Crossbody Wallet/Wristlet, the Eyeglass Case and the Scarf (which I wore all winter). Can't wait for spring to arrive here in NE PA so I can start to use my hipster etc.

I love the new Tic Tac Tote, but the price is crazy! $88?? I don't think so!

I'll wait until it goes on sale or I get a nice big coupon or promo code.
