My First Vera Bradley Purchases

Wahoogaz · ‎03-12-2010

I've loved the idea of Vera Bradley bags for years (lightweight and washable), but I'm not a pattern person so finding one has been hard. I found this one and was finally able to order the Triple Zip Hipster in the Best In Show pattern as an early birthday gift to myself. I also ordered the checkbook cover and the all-in-one crossbody (which I'll just use as a wallet).

@Wahoogaz what a delightful pattern. I hope that you enjoy your purchases.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Welcome to the world of Vera Bradley!

I work part time at our local VB outlet. I can't get over the span of ages that shop in our store. And the amount of men also!

I hope you are happy with your new bag. My favorites are the crossbodies.

I only have one VB handbag, too. It was a pattern I just could NOT resist. Have had and enjoyed it for years now. Not expecting to need another one anytime soon. Enjoy!

@Wahoogaz Enjoy your purchase! I’m not a big print handbag person, but I have several of their accessories, and their throws are very nice. I have several weekend totes, and they wear like iron. The micro fiber collection are solid colors. Love VB. I know many love the hipster cross body bags.

@roeroe1005 I would be broke working at the outlet! We have one about an hour from here. Really, really good sales there. 🤣

Enjoy your bag! The doggie print is really cute.

@KaySD Well ... I didn't NEED it, but I wanted it .

I retired in 2016 and have donated close to 30 D&B and Coach handbags since then ... and I've still probably got a dozen or so in my closet. They're all still in great shape, but they seem so heavy now ... I was always a big bag girl so I could fit work files in them. Since I retired, I like the hands-free, lighter weight bags now. I'm sure more of my old bags will be donated when the dog rescues I deal with start up their auctions again.

Kudos to you and the other sales associates in stores. All of you are always helpful & pleasant making my shopping experience fun! Thank you🙂🙂🙂

VB outlet store is my favorite store to browse. I seriously don't need another VB thing but those 50+30% off tempt me🙂

@homedecor1,

thank you! I've been working at our local VB outlet since June. My co-workers are very hard working, nice people. I really enjoy working along side them. We are mostly retired, working part time. Because it's in a beach-y area, we get a lot of out of towners.

I have never sold so many blankets & beach towels!
