Well, I’ve had this poll up for a while now and it appears that Purple Punch is definitely the most popular new spring pattern. So, I’m curious, have any of you changed your mind about this style since you voted? I’m asking because I purchased a PP Hipster a couple of months ago and I actually got a little tired of this pattern after wearing it a while….I still love the purple color, but with the black background it just seems too dark for most of the outfits I wear. I prefer to wear my Hope Garden Hipster instead. So, I decided to pack the Purple Punch bag away in my closet until cooler weather returns and I need to brighten up my fall wardrobe!
Speaking of polls, I will soon be posting a new poll to decide your favorite new and updated styles for spring. I’d also love to get your feedback on any new styles that you currently own (or would like to own) and how you feel about the bag and whether it holds everything you need. I really adore the new Gabby style, but since funds are tight right now, I really need to hear your comments before I purchase this bag. I’m sure there are lots of us out there who feel the same way about some of the newer VB styles. So, good or bad, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller co-founded Vera Bradley in 1982. While on vacation, the two friends observed a lack of feminine luggage available for women and then decided to start their own business. The original paisley cotton handbags were so successful that they quickly branched out into designing more colorful handbags, luggage and accessories. They now offer products in silk, tweed and microfiber in addition to their signature cotton collection.
Vera Bradley has debuted in several magazines over the years including Teen, Shape, Redbook, O Magazine and Country Living. Their handbags continue to be popular among women of all ages and they make great gifts for any occasion. Vera Bradley products are not only fashionable, but they’re also durable enough to last a lifetime. Read the rest of this entry
