Vera Bradley Winter Patterns for 2009

Ok, I have finally found some pics of the Vera Bradley patterns for the winter of 2009.  These winter patterns from Vera are a little different and very unique.  The patterns are Paprika, Imperial Toile and Symphony in Hue.

Vera Bradley Paprika:

I kind of like Paprika and it reminds me of Frankly Scarlet a little, which I thought was always under rated and under appreciated.   There is an orange hue to the Paprika pattern and it has a nice blend of blue and turquoise colors on the interior of the bags with the pattern.  The shapes of the design are not floral, but are organized and more architectural and may be appealing to the tastes of those who like the Frankly Scarlet.

Vera Bradley Symphony in Hue:

The Symphony in Hue is the complete opposite and it may not be the symphony that all of us have been waiting to hear, but I think it's one of those designs that takes time to grow on you.  There is a whole lot of color there and all kinds of floral portraits and paisley patterns to dazzle the eyes.  It may be too busy for some but in person you will see it has a nice black background and a true "symphony" of colors and hues to try to bring it all together.  It's sort of like some fireworks of colors went off on the bag and it's really unlike any of the current patterns Vera Bradley has out right now.

Vera Bradley Imperial Toile:

Of course, the Imperial Toile is also a unique design from the company.  It has a rich brown background and an ivory white design over it.  The design, to me, resembles a portrait of an old Japanese village and has cream white drawings of forest leaves, flowers, and birds, with a simple structure in the background as well.  From some of the things I've read and people I have talked to, this seems to actually be one of the favorite patterns to come out in the winter of 2009 for Vera Bradley, but I want to hear from you, my readers.

These patterns will not be available in stores until October 3rd for most Vera Bradley retail stores across the nation, but that date could be bumped up a week or two in either direction.  Either way, we will have to wait a bit.
