As requested, I’m adding some additional info about the Vera Bradley Outlet sale this year in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The sale will be open to the public on Thursday, April 30 through Sunday, May 3, 2009 at the Memorial Coliseum. The official first day of the sale, April 29, will be reserved for the Friends of the Foundation only. For directions to the Memorial Coliseum, click here.

The savings at the sale range from 40-75% off retail prices, and the new pre-registration requirement will hopefully limit the number of resellers buying up all the good stuff early, so be sure to bring your ID to this event. The only forms of payment that will be accepted are checks, cash, Visa & Mastercard, so be prepared for that, too!

Although they do have several new patterns, most of the sale stuff will be retired or soon-to-be retiring patterns & styles. For the best selection, you should definitely go the first day since everything gets picked over pretty quickly. However, the prices will be highest on the first day and then slowly go down as the weekend progresses. The last day of the sale definitely has the best deals since everything that is left over has been drastically reduced by then.

I’m going to have to miss the sale this year since my twins are still too young, but if you’re planning on attending, I hope you have a great time and let me know what you got!

    Why not have a traveling Outlet Sale. Not all of us can travel to Fort Worth, Indiana for the sale.
    Maybe 1 time per year in a major city in the middle of some other states.

    I live an hour away from Fort Wayne where the sale is held and let me tell you, we talk about it for weeks before it happens and weeks afterwards. It is so exciting! There are ladies who do come from all over the nation, on bus trips, caravans and anyway they can get there. It is such an experience. Being from this part of the country we feel left out most of the time because of the events that take place in major cities, this is definately our claim to fame and we are so blessed to have Vera Bradley HERE! Mark your calendars and attend the next event, you will not believe your eyes.
