Vera Bradley Bags

[Marilyn]

Okay, is anyone besides Janet into Vera Bradley bags. I've been looking at them on E-Bay, sorry, taking some time I would normally spend here , but I think I'm hooked. Just cannot deside just which style and color. The Betsy bag looks amazing, 6 inside pockets, 7 in the latest. I think this is the one Janet has. Then there is the Little Betsy, and the Tie-Tote with two inside pockets.

I think I like the idea of 6 inside pockets, so have been looking at the Betsy, but all the styles are mind boggeling. Haven't seen one in person yet.

And people on E-Bay are paying more for them than you do on the Vera Bradley site, how dumb is that???? On E-bay, they feature discontinued like it's last call for alchol or something, and on Vera Bradley's site, you get a big discount for discontinued.

Wish there was an outlet store around here, but then, I'd probably go totally crazy.

I had no idea these existed until the thread about what is in your purse. I love 4WT!!!!

They sell them at Merle Norman cosmetics here in Indiana, you might enter your zip code on the VB website and see if there is anywhere near you that sells them. I love my purse and want another, plus the billfold and coin purse.

On ebay, were you able to see the pockets in the purse? I love how they are all the way around the bottom and can hold so much. Mine has 6 pockets on the inside and one on the outside. I prefer zip closures especially if I'm out in crowded stores, shops or markets.

I checked on e-Bay and the Vera Bradley web-site but I couldn't see all the little pockets. Of course I couldn't spend too much time because hubby wanted the computer. GGRRRRRRR!!!! I have to grab a few moments here and there lately. I'll check it out better when I have some more time.

I stopped by a store that carried the bags, and I really do like some of the fabrics & the Betsy bag is really nice. I think I want to try the Little Betsy, but dont' want to pay full price. $59 for the Little Betsy.

I'm going to try to get something on E-bay. Sorry, but I'm a tight wad.

Diana, if you poke around on e-bay some of the listings have inside pictures.

I really think these bags would help with organization. I get so tired of digging in my bag for a ringing cell phone or my keys or lipstick.

[Janet]

I really love these bags. I bought mine new only because I could no longer wait...LOL. I kept bidding on ebay and some went over the 'new' price. I'm a tightwad too, but I wanted it bad!!!

I still go there and look and I'm trying to wait till May to go to that outlet store. I just don't know if I can.

I received my Vera Bradley bag today!!!!

I've already changed purses. I have the Little Betsy in Mod Floral Blue. I really, really like it. It's pretty full. The lady I ordered it from suggested I go with the Betsy instead of the smaller one, but I'm going to pare down what I'm carrying a little, and I think it will be okay. I do miss having an inside zipper pocket, but I think I'll just find a small zippered pouch that will substitute for it and attach it inside the purse somehow, or something.

The six interior pockets are wonderful!!!

Thank you Diana and Janet for your help with this!!!!

[Janet]

Aren't they the best? I just rec'd mine too!!! I have the Betsy already and I know I'm going to love this Little Betsy. I may have to clean out some things too...LOL

[DianaB]

I'm so glad that it worked out for both of you. Sandy is one of the sweetest people and I'm glad that she could help you out!!! It was so surprising that our small town carried Vera Bradley purses and that they were on sale for such a good price!!!!

[Janet]

I wish I had a list of all she had....everytime I'd ask for this or that...she didn't have it, just my luck. I did get my Little Betsy though and I love it! I really would like some matching things for the patterns I have. You're right Diana, she was the nicest person, so willing to help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[Marilyn]

Yes, thank you!!!!!!! I too wish she'd had a list. I would probably have bought more. May contact her in a day or two and see what is left over.
