Vera Bradley Pens: The Write Way to Go

I just love the Vera Bradley pen that I found the other day.  I did not know the company even made them since I have not seen them in stores before, but my friend had a Caffe Latte Vera pen and I just thought it was the most wonderful idea.  It seems they make about everything in your favorite pattern these days and as I mentioned in the last post there are many more new products on the way for the fall of 2009.  Depending on which pens you get, some of them come in a nice pattern matching box as well, which makes it great for a gift idea too.  I saw a Blue Rhapsody Vera Bradley pen the other day and I fell in love with it.  The quality of these pens is so good too.  They write wonderfully, so for those of you who do still write checks, you just might have to hold yourself back on this one.

Vera Bradley Rugs: Stylish Rugs to Match Your Favorite Patterns

Vera Bradley rugs are just another indicator that the company makes just about everything you would ever need or want in your home.  Maybe some of you have seen these rugs.  I am seeing more and more of them although I have yet to see one in someones home.  These rugs are full of color and as vibrant as all of the patterns that Vera Bradley makes.

I have seen patterns like Raspberry Fizz, Riviera Blue, Java Blue, Peacock, Mod Floral Pink, and even some of the newer patterns like Mediterranean White and Bali Gold.  These rugs are nice and thick and made of very good material so they should last for many years to come in your house.

There are even some pattern that are made with the rugs that do not come with any of the purses or other accessories.  Barbara Vibrant and Barbara Black are 2 patterns that I have only seen on some of Vera's rugs.  They are more floral in nature, but I like the more familiar patterns that come on the rugs.

The Daisy Daisy rug really looks  a little different though.  It shows the daisy flowers blown up nice and big so each flower practically covers the entire rug.

So how big are these rugs?

Well they come in 3 different sizes.  The smallest is a 2' x 3' rug, the best size up is a little bigger at 2'6" x 4' 2", and the largest rugs are just big enough for a living room at 3'6" x 5'6".

Check out some of these rugs on ebay right now and get even lower prices than buying retail.  You cannot find these rugs at the mall, so this is a great place to check out some great Vera Bradley rugs.

Vera Bradley Knockoffs: Why Even Bother?

There have been a lot of Vera Bradley knockoffs floating around lately.  Even the big box stores are selling these horrendous bags.  Oops, did I say horrendous.... I meant hideous!

Ok, so maybe some of you have a fake Vera Bradley handbag and you love it.  I am happy for you.. Really.  But why bother getting a fake when you can get the real thing for cheap from sites like this one.  And then you know you are getting a bag that is built of the finest quality, it will not fade in two months from 1 washing, and your bag won't stand out like a sore thumb for being a fraud.

Hmm, perhaps I am a bit too hostile on the issue, but for those of us who love Vera Bradley there is just no substitute.  If you want to look like you have a Vera Bradley purse, get a Vera Bradley purse.  The fakes are pretty easy to spot after all.  I am not even going to teach you how to spot the fakes.  Just get to know the real patterns and you will be able to spot a phony bag from a mile away.

I have noticed that even anchor stores in the mall are carrying these bags.  They do not call them VB or anything, but it is obvious that they are trying to look like the Fort Wayne Indiana company's bags.  They try, but they indeed fail.

Have you seen the fakes at your local mall?  What do you think?  Maybe you have some Vera Bradley knockoffs and you love them.  Leave us a comment and let us know why you love your phony bag.  We promise to be nice.  After all, if you are happy with it, it doesn't matter if it is not authentic or genuine.

And if you are one of those crazy people who has to have the real thing and actually wants your handbag to last for the rest of your life and be the epitome of chic, you can let us know that in the comment boxes below as well.
