Laura bag discontinued?????

Does anyone know if this is true that the Laura bag is discontinued? I wanted to purchase this bag in Olivia Pink. What a bummer!!!

Yes, unfortunately it is. I asked one of the VB CS reps online and they confirmed this. The only good thing is you can get remaining patterns for a good price! I feel your pain, tho'. They are retiring the "Little Mandy" and I LOVE that bag! It seemed so popular, I'm shocked its being discontinued as well.

Poppet, the Little Mandy bag IS very popular, but apparently they don't care. They retired the Betsy and the Villager, which as far as I'm concerned were two of the most popular bags. They tried to replace the Villager with the Three-O bag, and replace the Large Betsy with the Large Mandy. Similar but no dice. I don't understand why they don't see how popular those two bags were!

Yes the Laura is gone as well. I have one in Very Berry Paisley, and it looks so beautiful, very lacy and feminine because of the shape of the bag. You can get some good deals on what's left on the site, especially if you have a coupon.

Good luck!

I LOVE the Villager too! Not a big fan of it's replacement the Three-O Tote. I was glad during Holiday time they brought back the Villager but bummed only in a couple of patterns. Not a big selection.

I probably have all I need and all I will ever want. I am not a bag person and usually end up carrying decorated grocery bags. However I am wondering about dog collars. Sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't. Does anyone know if they are discontinued. I have seen them on VP site rarely and of course on Ebay. On Ebay does not prove a thing.
