What style of VB handbag can you not get enough of?

pgdark19 — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 01:20:04 GMT

I recently purchased my 3rd mailbag. So now I own it in Canterberry Cobalt, Julep Tulip, and Lola. Right now the mailbag is the only style that suits my needs perfectly. I loved the old style Saddle Up bag - recently purchased one in Suzani off of eBay.......wish VB would bring this one back

Do you have a style that you keep going back to in different patterns?

For me, it is the "VERA" Tote, I have at least 8-9 of that style, it works for me cause I use it as a purse, lunch bag, shoe bag for work. I can put everything in ONE bag instead of looking like a "BAG" lady with several bags.

Used to be Villager - I have half a dozen of them. But I've recently discovered the Cargo Sling. It's big enough to hold everything and everything is easy to find. It has two outside flap pockets, 2 side slip pockets, and one huge zip pocket across the back. More pockets inside. I have it in Java Blue for Fall (my favorite all time pattern), Mediterranean White for Summer, and Yellow Bird - my black and gold bag for Pirates baseball. I just ordered one in Pinwheel Pink (breast cancer awareness bag.) I got them all on eBay. The Cargo Sling was discontinued for awhile. It's back on Vera's website but from what I've read it's not as great as the original - that's why I stick to eBay.

Frannie- I have been looking at the Cargo Sling but it seems sooo BIG. I've owned a villager before and that's a great size bag. Do you find the Cargo Sling to be similar in size. I know when Liz Money was showing it on QVC it seemed to overwhelm her. I think she has said she's 5'. I'm 5'2"" and very petite.

Sunshine3215- The Vera is Vera Bradley's BEST tote!! Love it LOL-- bag lady.

pgdark19, I'm a petite 5'1". I don't find it too big at all. I like it because it's an "east-west" type bag where Villager is "north-south." I carry too much in my bags and in the Villager I can never seem to find things. I don't have this problem with the Cargo Sling. Plus the Cargo Sling can be worn cross-body which I also love about it.

I love Canterberry Magenta!! I have it in the turn lock satchel. I carried last year over the holidays and plan to do the same this year.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Vera Tote and the original Tote? They look to be the same size and both have that toggle closure. I think the Vera has an outside pocket and maybe an outside zipper. I don't think the Tote has a zipper or any pockets, inside or out. Not sure but they sure do look similar. Thanks!

oooooppppssss.....I misread. Well anyway, my favorite design is midnight blue. Have another purse on the way. Can't get enough of it. I have it in several different styles and get compliments on it all the time.

I went from collecting all Mandys, but now I am loving Frannie. It is small and easy to carry. I just got one of the new patterns for my birthday.

sunala- The Vera tote has quilted handles AND 6 interior quilted pockets. In the front, it has a zip/ slip pocket with a lobster clip to attach keys. On the back, it has a good size zip pocket. It is one of Vera Bradley's best quality bags-- same quality VB from back when they first started making bags.

I think they all look like something either a very young child or a very old lady would carry.

As far as I am concerned, the entire line could be ditched. Ugly.

The midnight blues in a medium satchel is a favorite of mine. I guess my favorite is the city bag in Clementine. It is the perfect handbag for me .

Clare! It's just the right size - I have Clare in Ribbons, Jazzy Blooms, Canterberry Cobalt and Classic Black. I also have six of the original hipsters - Suzani, Symphony in Hue, Tea Garden, Portobello Road, Camellia and Mocha Rouge.

pgdark19 - I just ordered my first mailbag (in Tutti Fruitti). My favorite styles are unfortunately all retired: Quick Draw, Convertible Crossbody, and Laura. I have about 10 Quick Draws, 3 or 4 Lauras and only 1 Convertible Crossbody (in Midnight Blues). I would like a few more Convertible Crossbody bags, so I need to get them soon while they can still be easily found.

I have 3 "triple zip hipsters." It's the perfect crossbody! I have it is pink swirls, moon blooms, and emerald paisley. I recently just bought my first "Vera" bag and I love it for carrying to work everyday. I bought it in Indigo blues fron the VB outlet store in my hometown. I want the all black Vera bag..... That will be my next purchase.
