Vera Bradley 2009 Fall Patterns Pictures Revealed

Check out the new Vera Bradley Patterns for the Fall of 2009.  You may not even know that the fall patterns have already been chosen, but I was able to get my hands on some pictures of these patterns to show to all of my loyal blog readers.  The three patterns for this fall that Vera Bradley will have available in stores in August are....

• Carnaby
• Blue Rhapsody
• Pirouette

Be sure to leave a comment on what you think about these patterns below!

word of description:

- Blue Rhapsody has a sort of bohemian blue hue with amethyst, sapphire,and emerald tones throughout it.  It's paisley and floral combination tie it all together.

- Carnaby, retains a deeper crimson and brown color and has lovely big flowers and leaves and a bright red flower to decorate the border.

- Pirouette has a classic black background and a very organized design of white and red flowers.

New Styles for the Fall as well include these below:

-Double Eye (for eye-glasses)
-Euro Wallet (very nice)
-Lanyard (for ID or Keys)
-Olivia: (roundish handbag with bow details)
-Pleated Tote (going to be HUGELY popular..in my opinion)
-Saddle Up (worn across body or over shoulder, whichever you choose)
-Stephanie (another cute handbag style)

What do you think of the Fall 2009 Patterns?

So there are the patterns.  What do you think?  Personally, I am not a huge fan of the Blue Rhapsody and think it almost looks like a fake knockoff of a Vera pattern that you so a lot of these days.  I'm never much for knock offs so I am not exactly thrilled about the Blue Rhapsody, but I am sure there are some out there that will like it.

I think there will be a few older Vera fans who will like the Pirouette pattern, as it has a similar style to Classic Black and a few other patterns that were made years ago.  It's simple, which is nice, but doesn't have a whole lot of zest.

The Carnaby pattern is one that I definitely think will be a big hit and the most popular of these 3 patterns coming out in August.  I love the design and the colors, and its warm tones are reminiscent of the fall season, which is the purpose of making a fall pattern to begin with.

Vera Bradley Purple Punch Has Won the Popular Vote

Find Cheap Purple Punch Purses and Accessories Here:

Last week I wrote a post which had a poll in it for people to vote on their favorite new Vera Bradley pattern for Spring 2009 (which comes out in January).

As of today here are the results:

Cupcakes Pink:  7 votes

Cupcakes Green: 8 votes

Hope Garden: 139 votes

Purple Punch: 231

So it looks like the folks over at Vera Bradley did not exactly hit a homerun with their cupcake line.  But at least the name of the pattern is equally as bad.  I think we as Vera Bradley fans have just come to expect more from the company than those cupcake patterns.  In fact, I would actually rather eat a cupcake right now than have something in those designs.... but I digress.

Both Hope Garden and Purple Punch will be very popular when they come out, as the poll shows.  For a while Hope Garden was neck and neck with Purple Punch, until Purple Punch gave Hope Garden the knockout punch in the 3rd round.

Women will love this winning pattern because it is simple, not overdone, and has an element of elegance that has been lacking in the last few designs.  You will see both sophisticated people and little girls wearing this pattern with pride in 2009.

Although I do like the spring cheeryness of Hope Garden, I kind of figured that Purple Punch would win out in the end.  But hey, just because a pattern is popular does not mean you have to go along with the crowd.  I always suggest finding a pattern that suits you, that fits your personality and then run with it.  There are a few patterns I can think of, that whenever I see those patterns I think of the girls that love to wear them, so after time you can be closely associated with the patterns you wear.

I will often go back to some of the old retired patterns.  Most of the new Vera Bradley fans do not even recognize some of the retired patterns and they will think they are just knock-offs, but I know they are Vera Bradley and I know that some of those discontinued patterns are very rare and not many other women will be wearing them.

You can check out some retired Vera Bradley pattern here.

As always you will updated here as soon as the new patterns are available for purchase.  So far I have just heard that they are expected to come out in January, so any day now.

If you are just too impatient to wait that long you can at least appease your anxiety by checking out our Vera Bradley store here.  As an affiliate of eBay we offer a huge selection of Vera Bradley purses in our store section.  You are buying through a 3rd party in this case but often you can get amazing deals and save a fortune compared to buying Vera Bradley from the mall or other retail shops.

So anyway, Purple Punch is the clear winner and I'm sure it will rack up even more votes as the days go by.  If you have not had a chance to vote yet, check out the post on Vera Bradley Spring 2009 patterns.
