Vera Bradley Has Been All Over the News

Ok check this out.  I am seeing these Vera Bradley patterns and styles all over the place.

Here is a sampling of what I am talking about:

Vera on ER

This show has been running for way too long but that is beside the point here.  A daisy daisy pattern cosmetic bag showed up on the set in one of the final seasons.  Pretty cool.  Even doctors dig the Vera purses I guess.

In Magazines

Well this list is pretty huge.  I mean I could name a ton of magazines that have either featured a Vera Bradley purse  in an article or even put a picture of a purse on the cover of their magazines.  Here are just a handful that have done so recently:

  • Guidepost
  • Teen
  • Shape
  • O, you know, which stand for Oprah
  • Everyday with Rachael Ray (who doesn't love her)
  • OK
  • BabyTalk
  • Traditional Home
  • Parents
  • and ok, I think I have listed enough for now, but oh yeah, there are more.

So this brand is showing up everywhere and even celebrities are getting involved in this quilted pattern frenzy.  I say frenzy because if you have ever been to a Vera Bradley clearance sale you know how insane it can get.

Even brides are getting into the VB stuff.  There was an article in Modern Bride and there was a Nantucket Navy rug in the background on the floor.  They are really nice.  I don't know if I would want to walk on something so nice but if you have the money for it, why not.  You  can always pick up another one.

On TV

The Today Show did a little piece on nice gifts and gift ideas which included a bunch of Vera Bradley items.  This pic above is just a random Today Show pic though.. Just wanted you to visualize a little.

Kelly Ripa Loves the Vera Bradley bags too

Kelly had a big lunch thing to launch her new book and all the guests that were there in NYC received a complimentary Mesa Red Tote.  Good job Kelly.

So TV, magazines, newspapers... I think you are getting the picture.  Vera Bradley will be here for a while and I think this fashion firestorm is just getting started.  It hasn't really taken off as rigorously in the North East as it did in the south, but give them time.  VB is coming.
