The Vera Bradley Saddle Up Shoulder Bag

Saddle Up some style with the Vera Bradley Saddle Up Bag!

Have you seen the Vera Bradley "Saddle Up"  shoulder bag?  This is going to be one of the most popular Vera Bradley purses of all time.. that is my guess anyway.  As you can probably tell, I love this style handbag and think that it looks great in the new patterns of Blue Rhapsody and Carnaby for the fall of 2009.   The Saddle Up shoudler bag has a big magnetic flap enclosure to keep everything comfy cozy inside and there is a nice little Ring at the bottom of the flap as you can see in the pictures on this page.   The size of the bag is 13"x11"4"  but it can carry a ton of stuff because it has a flexible interior than can expand to hold even more.  pretty cool hah? A bag that stretches... who would have thought it.

And under that big flap are two deep pockets which you will love.  They are so practical and functional, which what I always like about these handbags.  There are also 3 slip in pockets on the interior of the bag, so you will have a blast organizing everything in there.

I also love the ruffles and detail on the front of the bag.  It's even better than the pleted Morgan purse that I love so much.  This purse comes with an adjustable strap so you can wear it cross body style if you like or just tuck it under your arm.  I think you will love the Saddle Up purse that Vera Bradley has put out.  Leave a comment below to let us know how you like it.

But then I did some research on Buythatpurse.com and found that there are all kinds of Tall Zip Tote purses on sale for $49 or less already and that sale will last much longer than just 3 days.  In fact, you can come to this site every day of the week and find some amazing deals and Vera Bradley bags at 40%- 60% off the full retail price.  You should never pay full retail price for these bags.

But the Tall Zip Tote is a great little handbag.  Many of the typical handbags are more horizontal but the tall zip tote stretches to the sky in both fashion and style.  I really like the look and feel of the bag and it's great for carrying around all kinds of stuff.  It's 14" high and about 12" wide, so it's not so huge that it's going to knock everything onto the floor as you walk by things.

If you are in school you will find it a great bag for your books and even your laptop.  Many are using this bag as well as the Messenger and Laptop cases for their PC's and Macs, so Vera is also hip now.   This tote has two magnetic pockets on the front and a large zippered pocket on the other side.  Also, the inside has a lot of cool surprises with a full size zipper compartment as well as some slip in pockets as well.

The Vera Bradley Bucket Tote on Sale: Who Doesn’t Love This Bag?

The Vera Bradley bucket tote has been a fan favorite ever since it came out and it still gets a lot of buzz where ever it goes.  What I like most about this bag is that it's very useful while still being fashionable to wear around town.  I am hoping the good ole folks at Vera never retire this Bucket Tote because I would like to continue to see it with the new patterns that are always coming out.  For instance, this cute tote looks fantastic in the Bali Blue and Calypso patterns.

And as far as size goes, the Bucket Tote is not too big and not too small.  Being only 13.5" tall and 11" wide, you won't be knocking stuff over when you are at the mall, like you will with some of those huge big mama purses that are out there.  It's a handbag for any ocassion and it's one exterior zipper pocket makes it useful for carrying the belongings you need to access in a hurry.  Maybe some of you like thos new magnetic snaps on the outside pockets, but I like the old school zippers on an exterior pocket.    But there is still the magnetic snap closure to keep the handbag closed, and this is nice because you can just pull it open in a hurry and not worry about it opening on accident.  With 4 interior pockets, you will still have some extra space to organize the stuff you just have to tote around.

Put the bucket tote on your bucket list and check out some sweet deals on Ebay right now with these live auctions selling bucket totes in all your favorite patterns.  Choose wisely and enjoy!
