Re: Thought I would share my new obsession …

I have loved Vera Bradley bags for a few years now... If anyone lives in nassau county... In the Broadway Mall there is a luggage store right near Ruby Tuesdays that have all the patterns including the new ones...

No! I love vera bradley bags. I have always wanted a pink one, but whenever I stop by crabtree and evelyn, they never have the style of bag and color pattern I want.

Those aren't real Veras they sell at Crabtree and Evelyn - they're knock offs. You can get the real Veras at some Hallmark stores or Lord and Taylor. Some other specialty shops sell them - I know of one in RVC and a ton in NYC.

---

Really? Well then maybe it's a good thing I didn't buy one there! I have seen them in hallmark too.

---

Last I saw there - they only sold bags that are quilted and have cute patterns that LOOK like Vera Bradleys. Just check the tag - there are a ton of bags out there - I hate to call them knockoffs but basically they look like a Vera Bradley bag but are just some other brand. I know allt he Vera patterns b/c I am a crazy fan - so I just know. But I have never once seen a Vera in Crabtree and Eveyln....just bags that look like Veras!

Crabtree & Evelyn is an authroized retailer of Vera Bradley bags. I've seen the real Vera bags in several Crabtree & Evelyn stores. If you go onto the VB website, you can find all of the authorized retailers in your area.
I ordered Vera Bradley monogrammed duffle bags as part of my BMs' presents from www.littlehousefashions.com (an authorized VB retailer). They were great to work with, and I've ordered from them several times. They do the monogramming on full priced items for free. Everything came out great.

THANKS....that's good to know. Last I was at a C&E they did not carry Veras.....thanks for that link too...I will check them out!

You're welcome. Their website changed a little since I last ordered them, but their prices were cheaper than in most stores and I liked how they did free monogramming. They also have a pretty good selection (and good prices) of recently retired patterns.

I like them to and my sister is obsessed with them.

Re: Thought I would share my new obsession …

Oh, and their makeup bags and jewelry case are so incredible. Now you are all going to make me get something new, aren't you?
