The Vera Bradley Holiday Tote
Just in time for Christmas is the Vera Bradley Holiday Tote. This is a limited edition bag, though, so don't expect to see very many available after the holidays have past. My biggest complaint with the bag is really in the name. Why not just call it the Vera Bradley "Christmas Tote"? I think some have already begun calling it by that name, but holiday tote is the official name for it. Over all, it's a lovely little bag that is purely symmetric. Measure at 14" by 14" it also has a removable handle that you don't really need because of the cute little cut out made in the top of the bag.
So how do you get this holiday tote? Well as a promotion Vera Bradley is giving it away if you spend at least $100 on their products on one of their retail stores. And spending $100 is not hard to do if you buy at least 2 VB items so this should be an easy one for any VB fan out there. But if you don't want to spend the $50 bucks on the bag you can always check out the ebay auctions below to find a great deal on this limited edition tote. We are compensated with any sales coming from these auctions below and it helps us keep this site going, so knock yourself out. The only pattern you can find this bag in is the Blue Rhapsody pattern, so hopefully this is one that you like or this will not be the bag for you until they offer it in different colors. Who knows.. maybe next year...

See the Vera Bradley 2010 Summer Patterns Here
Have you seen the new summer patterns Vera Bradley has cooking up for 2010? Well here is a sneak peak and you can even buy some of these patterns early because some of them are listed in the ebay auctions seen below. Your friends will wonder how you got these bags so early, but it can be your little secret.
So the four new Vera Bradley 2010 summer patterns are "Make Me Blush", "Night and Day", "Call Me Coral, and, "Simply Violet". Already these new patterns for the upcoming future and getting a lot of exciting buzz and Vera Bradley fans like them much more than the Vera Bradley 2010 Spring collection. In fact, I wish they would just skip to these summer patterns instead. Not only are the four new patterns fresh and pretty, but they also LOOK like Vera Bradley and not some knock offs. The Make Me Blush is a lovely floral pattern with pastel colors and reminds me a little of Hope Garden but it is less busy and more elegant. The pretty red flower blossoms with a hint of light green give the white background a nice contrast too. The Vera Bradley Night and Day is a simple monochromatic pattern but even in black and white the flower blossoms have a lot of pop. I can tell already that Call Me Coral is going to be a big hit as it has a perfect shade of pink that is not as racey as some others but blends perfectly with the paisley design. And the Simply Violet is perhaps too simple for my tastes, but it's a color we have not seen too much of from Vera Bradley so it's a nice addition to the collection as well.
So a few of these purses are available on Ebay right now so get these Vera Bradley 2010 summer patterns on sale while you still can, or you will have to wait for them to come out into the stores in the next 2-3 months.

Vera Bradley Curling Iron Covers Retired and New
Vera Bradley curling iron covers go way back and the company has been making them for years. Some of you may not know about them, but they are absolutely perfect for keeping the bathroom neat and tidy and it's just so very practical to have a safe place to keep that curling iron when it's not in use. How many of us have burned our arms because we forgot about that hot curling iron? Let's face it. It has happened to us all. Well perhaps it's time to invest in one of these nifty covers by Vera Bradley with either a retired pattern like Cambridge, or perhaps something a little newer like Frankly Scarlet or Bali Blue. Like I said, these curling iron covers go way back so you can even find an old retired pattern that you love and add it to your collection. I even saw some Botanica patterns for sale in these covers and I know there are a few left in the selection below. These are live ebay auctions and you can get some really sweet deals in the listings below. Even if you don't already have an ebay account, you can click one of the links below and get signed up in just a few minutes. It's free and will save you a ton of money down the road, especially if you buy a lot of Vera Bradley like many women do these days.

Vera Bradley Mesa Red on Sale Here: Retired Pattern Flashback
This week's pattern flashback is Vera Bradley's infamous Mesa Red. Even though it is a retired pattern, it is simply a classic and a wonderful design that should be a part of anyone's Vera collection. This pattern had a two year career with VB, and that's not half bad considering some patterns are retired in a year. Mesa Red hit the scene in July of 2006 and was retired in July of 2008. This was actually my friend's very first pattern that came in the form of a hipster and it's still beloved today. I have seen quite a few Mesa Red's going around recently so perhaps women have been souring Ebay or yard sales looking for this pattern, but perhaps Vera Bradley should start stitching this pattern together again. I have always thought that the company could do nothing but benefit from bringing back a retro pattern to the delight of their fans. It's sort of like what Nike did with Air Jordan shoes. Whenever they did a retro model the shoes would sell out in minutes and everyone was happy (well, except for the prices of those Jordan shoes).
So what do you think of this week's retired pattern flashback? Is it one of your favs or do you have another discontinued pattern you want to see more of in your collection?
Check out some of the Mesa Red pattern purses and accessories available on Ebay right now in the listings below. Even if you don't have an Ebay account it takes 5 minutes to sign up. Just click one of the auctions below and find what you are looking for. Also, Ebay has a new buyer protection policy that will help to calm your nerves about buying on Ebay, so all you have to focus on is finding what you have been looking for.

Vera Bradley Frill in Purple Punch, Paprika, Imperial Toile and Symphony in Hue
The new Frill patterns have been released and are supposed to be in stores already but in some places there has been a delay in the shipping process. If you are not familiar with the Frill patterns they are the inside/out patterns of an existing one and they have a protective plastic over them for even easier cleaning. I am actually surprised Vera Bradley has not promoted them much, but the Frill patterns are a huge hit and getting more popular all the time. Some of the most popular are the Purple Punch Frill patterns, Paprika Frill, Imperial Toile Frill, and Symphony in Hue Frill. Although Purple Punch or Pupu as some call it, has been around for a little while now, the other 3 are new for the winter of 2009. Even though some hate the Paprika pattern, they find the Frill version of it much more pleasing. Check out this picture of these four patterns in the Frill collection by Vera Bradley:
Like I said, some of these frill patterns are available in the VB stores right now, but you can get them even cheaper by getting them online. You can check out some of the Vera Bradley Purple Punch Frill and Imperial Toile Frill purses and totes on ebay right now with the live auctions listed below. These are limited edition bags and are not available very long, so if you see one that you like you should try to get it right away. These patterns are rare and sell faster than you can imagine. My personal favorite is the Purple Punch Frill but the Paprika Frill is growing on me as well. You will see all kinds of Frill patterns in the listings below, so feel free to sort through the ones you like.

5 Vera Bradley Patterns Being Retired in January of 2010
Well the Vera Bradley patterns for 2010 have been revealed and along with those new patterns (which not many seem to like by the way) some old favorites will be retired. I still think it's as ad decision by the company to retire such beloved patterns as these when they still sell like hot cakes, but they seem to just want to make room for the new stuff coming out.
There are five patterns that we know of so far that are going to be retired in January of 2010. This means these 5 patterns will not be made anymore so only the inventory that is left will be available for sale in the Vera Bradley stores. Get them while they are hot.
Click on any of the images of the patterns below to check out some great deals on these soon to be retired patterns. The scarcity of the patterns will drive the prices up so get them now while you still can.
The 5 patterns being discontinued are:
It's hard to believe some of these iconic patterns are going to be discontinued soon. They are some of the most popular of the VB patterns. With Yellow Bird and Mod Floral Pink and Caffe Latte, there will be a huge gap to fill with the new patterns that are coming out for 2010 and many have been disappointed thus far, so we will see what Vera has up her sleeve in the future months.
So which one of the five patterns above will you miss most? Leave a comment below to let us know how you feel and which pattern you have the most of in you closet right now. As for me, I am still in disbelief that Caffe Latte will be retired. It's such a classy design and I hope it will be replaced by an even better one, but we will keep our fingers crossed.
The Vera Bradley Pleated Tote is Here and on Sale!
The Vera Bradley pleated tote is one of the new collections to come out this year from the company. It's a great design that has been getting rave reviews, so maybe it's time you got a pleated tote for yourself. It's called the pleated tote for a very good reason, and you can see the pleats in the pictures below too. The size is one of the nicest things about the bag. Just how big is it? Well it's even bigger than Vera's original tote. Being 14 inches by 14 inches, you can see how convenient it would be to carry a bag along that can carry everything else along with it too. The zip closed feature is a nice added bonus so you don't have to worry about your stuff falling out or having security issues with it either. There are 4 interior pockets for making organizing your handbags stuff a breeze, and there are 2 wrap around pockets on the outside of the purse that can hold larger items that you will need to access quickly. You can even use this bag as a baby or diaper bag if you wanted to. This design is new for the winter season of 2009 and it already in the stores, but you will almost every time get a better deal by checking out the ebay auctions listed below. These are genuine VB and well below retail, so every body wins. The pleated tote is a nice addition to the Vera Bradley collection so check out some of the different patterns this bag comes in by checking out the live auctions on ebay below.

Vera Bradley Jasmine: Retired Pattern on Sale!
The Vera Bradley Jasmine pattern is a blast from the past. Some of you newer Vera Bradlet fans may not even recognize this style and may even think it's a "fake" when you first see it, but it's a genuine VB pattern with lots of class and flare. I am bringing it up today because it kind of reminds me of the new Imperial Toile, with a simply monochromatic design and high contrast. But while the Imperial Toile has a subtle brown background, the Jasmine has a rich dark background with white flowers and green leaves. It's a wonderful pattern that many wish was still being made today. The Vera Bradley Jasmine pattern came out in January of 2003 and was retired a short 1.5 years later in July of 2004. Where can you buy the Jasmine pattern? No where really, except here! We found some of the deals going on ebay right now for Jasmine handbags and totes and thought we would show them to you. So check out some Jasmine purses on sale now in the listings below and grab a great deal on a retired legacy:

Bringing Back the Vera Bradley Sherbet Pattern
Remember the Vera Bradley Sherbet? It came out in January of 2004 and was retired in July of 2006, but many still love the Sherbet pattern and just wish Vera Bradley would bring it back from retirement. In fact, I think it would be an incredibly smart move for the company to being back 3 or 4 of the most popular patterns of all time that are now retired and make that the next collection. We all know how well those retro Jordan shoes sell when they remake them again, so why not try it with patterns that die-hard Vera Bradley fans just adore and WANT to buy. I think they would do much better than putting out patterns women are just not liking for the 2009 winter and 2010 spring collection.
So here is a blast from the past. You can't get the Sherbet from Vera Bradley anymore, but I wanted to showcase some of the Sherbet patterns available on Ebay right now. There is actually quite a selection and many different styles of purses to choose from. This pattern came out at the same time as Apple Green which is one of my favorites too. Be sure to leave a comment below letting us know your all time favorite pattern and which one you would want to bring back.

Vera Bradley Backpacks Getting Ready for School
Well school is right around the corner and students are scrambling to get all of the gear they need to get the year started off right. With that big scramble, Vera Bradley backpacks have been selling like crazy and you can get some sweet deals on low price bags too. Some of the most popular backpack patterns of the year are Blue Rhapsody, Yellow Bird, Puccini, Bali Blue, and the always popular Purple Punch.
These backpacks are very durable and will take a beating for you. They may need a washing before the next school year but being machine washable makes that a breeze as well. Even in elementary schools I am seeing Vera backpacks and backsacks all over the place. It seems like there is no age limitation when it comes to fabric backpacks that have beautiful colors and designs.
If you are looking for an affordable Vera Bradley backpack for this school year you are in luck. We have listed for you some of the best prices you will find anywhere on these bags from ebay auctions listed below. Just find the pattern you want and make your bid before someone else outbids you. If you don't already have an Ebay account, don't worry, just follow the links below and get signed up for free.
If you have a Vera backpack let us know how you like it in the comments below too.
