How many Vera bags, wallets, totes, etc. do you own?

qualitygal — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 13:36:21 GMT

I just started this year getting these. Jaques's got a picture posted and she has a stairway full. She's good at selling these. I enjoy watching her. Thought it was funny.

Want to share how many you have?

What patterns do you like? The ones I'm getting have pinks in them today. But, more and more, I'm doing some variety.

1 cell phone wallet that is too small and I don't use it.

1 Kindle cover used when traveling.

1 huge tote used daily back and forth to work.

1 mini hipster used daily for now. I throw it in my huge tote when I go to work.

None of it matches. LOL

I only own the retired night owl pattern. I have the hipster,large duffle,wallet,and tote. It's not very loud or done in the crazy patterns and a motley crew of colors.Plus it has very tastefully placed little owls on it. I love the fabric concept...just not the prints and colors of most VB.

One, a gift, and that one (thank goodness) is a pretty sedate pattern in black, yellow, white. Just do not like pattern anything. Love the fabric though - wish the company would offer bags and accessories without any patterns. I do not like these Bradley prints - they clash with everything I own.

Haca....VB recently came out with solids! They have had black for several years but I recently saw a very pretty berry color and a royal blue. Check them out at the Vera website.

I have never seen the appeal in these bags with the busy prints and high prices. I see bags like this in mart type stores for less than $20. Or maybe the appeal is for someone to say they own a Vera Bradley.

They are lightweight and I love the organization. I never pay full price. I wait until they are 40% to 60% off before I buy.

I love my mini hipster and would like it in another color.

Edit: I wear boring plain colors, so I like the bright patterns.

A yellow bird bag in the now D/C morgan style , a tablet tote in cottage, a bowler bag in java blue from back when I was still working, a couple eyeglass cases , a small travel jewelry case in ribbons,and a small cosmetic case in ribbons and a tablet case in cottage, a wallet in java blue, a coin case in an old print I can't recall the name of, that I use for my quarters at the laundromat.

I also have some bella taylor bags (3 of them) in a style they call sarah that is an exact copy of the VB on the go bag. The bella taylor bags are exactly the same in quality as VB but much less expensive and the prints are not as garish as the VB bags have become.I have not seen a print I loved from VB in a long while. I bought one from QVC last spring and hated it when I saw it in person and sent it back. I loved ribbons and cottage - they were extremely popular too - I wish they would look at that and make some of the more subtle prints - at least one each season.

So sad that because they don't appeal to you there has to be a dig at those who do love them. You don't get a VB quality bag for $20 - if you knew anything about them you would realize that and not make yourself look uninformed and nasty. BTW - if you dislike them so much why are you here in the VB forum? Oh yeah - just to write a put down.

Thank you, Benzgirl, I certainly will. I am looking for a large overnighter type of bag. Thanks for the tip! Make it a great day.

You're welcome Haca. And you have a good one as well.

Between my 21 year old daughter and I we have quite a few, including (but not limited to!) several sizes of tote bags, 3 of the largest backpacks, ipad/kindle/laptop covers, and lots of the little makeup bags in different sizes and colors. The makeup bags are each different intentionally, makes it easy to find what you're looking for when traveling. Hair clips, ponytail elastics, and head bands in one, chargers for the electronics in another, small snacks in a third one, etc. with the different patterns you automatically know which pouch is holding what!

Too many. I think they are cute but I really mostly use them for the beach & when I go to Florida.

Whoa!! Why are you taking this so personal? I'm entitled to my opinion and I didn't go to the VB forum, saw the thread on the Community forum.

I'm not putting anyone down that likes the bags. I don't and I voiced my opinion. You're the one turning nasty by attacking me. You could have just ignored my post.

Zero. I think they're ugly.

I don't know exactly how many I have. I mostly have travel pieces - a couple duffels and some totes and the larger cosmetic bags. They're perfect for travel because they're lightweight and have a lot of pockets. You can really fit a lot into them.

The only handbags I have are the cross-body bags/hipsters.

Jacque has a lot of them.

I have too many to count....I carried a Vera to school every day when I was teaching. I also use numerous accessories regularly and love the bags when traveling. I have always enjoyed bright, colorful prints so I often see new ones which appeal to me, but I wait until they are on sale for 50 - 60% off because I don't like to pay full price for any thing!

One duffel. And a cosmetics case I use for my camera. Ooops, almost forgot, a small black microfiber bag I use for a summer evening bag.
